Red's Ramblings v.2

My VPN problem has been resolved.

I’m not referring to my own although you would be forgiven for thinking that I am such are the lack of posts. No, I’m referring to the blogs that are lovingly cared for on a commercial host where the owner has a met a fate most foul (or maybe just died) and has stopped paying [...]

I’m currently sat relaxing over a cup of Tetley Red Bush, a drink I’m increasingly getting a taste for, while watching jochta (John Talbot) complete his LEJOG (Lands End to John’O Groats). Who needs live E3 coverage for entertainment, eh?
