dave: July 2001 Archives
Politic
Hey ho, it's marching season. Sing 'The Sash', beat on your drum and have the usual fun and games.
Watched 'Michael Collins' last night, the film by Neil Jordan, that is. Rousing stuff and some great performances, but not the most historically accurate of movies. Amazingly, all of the accents are ok, although this shouldn't be surprising as most of the actors are Irish. Even Julia Roberts manages to keep her accent in one place.
I've rearranged some of the site to make things quicker to download - long files have been split up, that sort of thing.
Last Wednesday, 27 June, 2001, my daughter Roxanne was 1 year old. It was my wife's birthday as well. Two days before was Tuen Ng Festival, otherwise known as Dragon Boat day.
I've also tidied up various bits and pieces on the site and made some cosmetic changes.
