Don't waste a drop...

nospam@example.com (Imelda) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:31:00 +0000

The Internet can be a dangerous place. Everyone says so. But so often we dismiss this as paranoia or overparenting and fail to see that the risks can be real.

The most recent online craze is Chat Roulette, a social networking phenomenon that allows web guests to link up with each other using microphones and webcams.

Half term

nospam@example.com (Gordon Cunningham) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:17:36 +0000

Having had to stop before the end of a three hour training run on Saturday 13, I felt terrible walking the last 10 minutes in sleet and snow. The prospect of trying to complete 26+ miles seemed a long way off.

Fortunately at the beginning of the half term week I spent some time with my neice and her young children who took a great interest in improving my training. running through the Cornish countryside being shouted at by a 10 year old certainly rejuvenated my enthusiasm so after a short 1.5 hours on Thursday the 3 hours on Sunday was not easy but at least I didn't stop. Sadly my wife is still faster and more stylish than I on the runs.

Fatal Attraction

When a relationship is new, it’s like looking after bone china. You carry it with care and try your best not to let it fall to the floor and smash to pieces.

'A picture tells a thousand words...'

nospam@example.com (Imelda) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:25:00 +0000

It’s Valentine’s Day. Everywhere I look, there are couples holding hands or clinging onto each other to make the most of the one day of the year where it’s considered socially acceptable to practically do it in the street and not in the privacy of one’s home.

New Year's Resolution

nospam@example.com (Gordon Cunningham) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:08:16 +0000

As Headteacher of Easthampstead Community School, I thought that I should do something different in 2010 to help draw attention to the work we are doing as a Specialist School for Sport.

I enjoy all sports and have tried to keep fit since giving up competitive sports twenty yeras ago. However I like a challenge so for several years have completed the swimathon and some short charity runs.

Can you help @steve_gabb??

nospam@example.com (Tom Canning) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:22:47 +0000

A fellow Bracknell based twittererer (??) is watching movies that were based or filmed in Bracknell.

He's got 'The Offence' starring Sean Connery (The Offensh?? - still a terrible joke the eighth time I've told it) and obviously there is Harry Potter.

Roadworks - why so long!?

nospam@example.com (Tom Canning) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:37:10 +0100

I have a question..

Why is it going to take until December 2009 to finish the Coppid Beech roundabout expansion/improvement/unnecessary extra traffic lights?

Well done Henry

nospam@example.com (Tom Canning) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:53:00 +0100

Henry Abrahamian, Bracknell Manics Reserves veteran centre-back made it two man of the match awards in two games on Sunday, with a fine performance in the Manics 2-1 extra-time defeat by AFC Beachfleet.

Henry put on a masterclass of defensive heading and composure at the back that belied his years.

Spent Friday night at the Manor with a friend who had popped over from Reading.

She had never been there before and was fascinated by the place.

nospam@example.com (Tom Canning) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:05:59 +0000

Managed my first 90 minutes since October yesterday for Bracknell Manics Reserves, initially starting up front but was quickly switched to right-back when they realised I was hopeless!
