Where to stay

Why look at star ratings or price when you can find hotels for foodies listed together? Now, what about another one listing hotels for beer drinkers?

Making an apple press

I bought 3 metres of 6x3 softwood from a timberyard. Cut it into 2 metre long pieces and 2 50cm pieces. This will make a frame. Using a jack, some wood and hessian I will press apples to make juice and then will make cider out of it following the instructions.

I have a number of trees and propose to make about 10 to 20 gallons of the stuff, depending on the crop.

My problem at the moment is deciding on which technique to use to join the wood together to make a frame. I want to do it in such a way that it is easily disassembled for storage when not needed.

132,194 idiots

Last night a BNP candidate got into the European parliament because 132,194 british voters forgot to think. They listened to easy to digest, simplistic drivel and fell for it, hook line and sinker.

Our grandparents who fought and died in the battles against fascism in the 1930s and 40s would be ashamed and saddned.

Who is the Boss?

Nic made me rewrite our SEO page. I thought I had all the info well written and clear, but she came up with a far more user friendly version. Am I really too much of a techie? Well I got excited over a program for calculating the distances between geocoordinates yesterday, so I think we all know the answer to that one.

Copycats

We went to Meedhupparu for our honeymoon, and now Nicola's brother is going to the same island. He and Tracey are gonna spend a week in Meedhupparu, so I will definitely get some fresh reviews of them.

4000 backlinks

Although Brown Bear Web Design has 4,000 backlinks they are not a high pageranking site. Maybe this is because most of them are from sites on the same server. It will be interesting to see how things change as links from external sites on different servers are added. We have been converted to the usefulness of article aggrogator sites..
