I forgot to blog this at the time, but what was Brown thinking about when he compared himself to Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights?As this brilliant blog posting says, many people haven't read the book but instead know it from "the 1939 film adaptation, with Laurence Olivier playing Heathcliff in best matinee idol style".So has Brown ever read the book, or...

I'm planning to move this blog to a different location, using different software and doing a lot of fancy things in the process.Unfortunately, I think I'll need to freeze this blog in the meantime, which will mean no new blog postings and no access to the comments.It shouldn't take too long, but of course there might be some unforeseen problems.I...

I’ve very often gone via Stansted on my way to Denmark, and I’ve always made the connexion, although Ryanair don’t guarantee it.
Today seemed OK – we were supposed to land around 6pm, and the check-in didn’t close till 19:05, so it didn’t seem likely it would be delayed more than 30 minutes.
But it was!
We arrived here at 19:15, so now we’re trying to find another way to Denmark.
Unfortunately, all flights are full, so the next affordable plane to Denmark is on Monday!
We might have to go via Bremen!!!
Update (4am): Yes, Bremen turned out to be the best bet. Ryanair were willing to book us onto that for a “missed flight fee” of £250 for all of us. The flight is at 6:40am, and we’ll arrive there around 9. Hopefully it won’t be too expensive to get the train to Denmark.
Because the flight is so early, we didn’t think it made sense to get a hotel room, so we’ve all been sleeping on the benches or the stone floor of Stansted Airport. I guess it’s all an experience for the kids!

As far as I can tell, the move to this new site has been successful.Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but at least my traffic statistics package tells me that I've had 83 views since last nice, which is roughly three times as many as usual for that amount of time.And how did people find it? For instance by searching for "iskaffe", "all junk for sale", "3 dages feber", "normal weight", "warehouse humor", "udslæt", "belly button men" and "spider man wegge".It's amazing...

I've finally completed moving this blog from twid.bibulus.org to the new address, blog.widmann.org.uk. I didn't just change the address, but I also moved it to a different hosting company, Prime Hosting, and I switched from using Blogger to running my own WordPress installation. I'm sure quite a few things aren't working perfectly yet – in particular, I'm a bit anxious...
