Hat
Just a silly little animation I did a few years back for no reason other than I must have thought it amusing at the time. Animated GIFs… remember them?!

What Richie G did in 2011
I know I did this a while ago when I realised that I hadn’t updated my site in a while. Unfortunatley, as I’ve not transferred all the posts over quite yet (these past couple of weeks would’ve been ideal but I left my PC laptop in Poole which is where they are) I can’t remember [...]

How to almost burn your house down on Christmas Day
What you need: Very old chest freezer, one you’ve had as long as you can remember but that your household acquired second hand. Must be at least 20 years old, doesn’t close properly except with something heavy put on the lid, generates ice/snow like it’s the North Pole. Extension lead, now presumed dodgy. Somebody cooking [...]

More musings on the Internet how it used to be
Firstly, yes, I know. Half the old posts are here, half aren’t. Give me a break, okay?! I’m surprised I managed to do what I’ve done thus far. It’s actually been quite interesting, looking at my old posts, something I haven’t really done. I had forgotton some of the things I’d written (and I will [...]

Stupid Joke
While going through all the posts on my old site and transferring them to the new, I came across the following draft post. Not entirely sure why I didn’t post it at the time, but will post it now. (Not even sure of the date that I ‘drafted’ it I’m afraid). Q: What do you [...]

Life goes on
Wow, two days with two consecutive posts… I have never managed to find a theme that I like for WordPress. There seems to be a theme of the Internet that personal sites are dark – black background, white text. I don’t like that. So, trying to find a theme that is a light colour, and [...]

So, yeah…
So, yeah… I said that this site would be back up and running by ‘the end of the day’. I was very wrong. However, you may be interested to know that… actually, I can’t think of anything interesting. Seriously, normal service will be resumed at some point. Maybe.

Hello world!
Right – I’ve reset my website as it wasn’t fully working… At this particular moment in time, I need to go out and get something, so should you chance across this site in the meantime, that’s why nothing is here. Hopefully by the end of the day it’ll be back up and running. Maybe.

“Reacting Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid, Richard Graham 10D”
This is brilliant. I found some old schoolwork on a CD while clearing out some stuff, and came across this. Obviously, I knew back then how to make a PDF file from a Word document, and I do remember this. Old schoolfriends will probably remember the Science teacher whom I’ve forgotton the name of – [...]

Why would anybody steal signalling?
OK, this is a bit of a rant really. I’m currently sat on a train at Taunton station, and at the time I write this paragraph my computer tells me it’s 10.00am. I left Tiverton Parkway station at 9.04. This train was due into Paddington at around 11.30. The reason for this delay is because [...]
