Welcome to Planet Earth, the third planet from a star named the Sun. The Earth is shaped like a sphere and composed mostly of rock. Over 70 percent of the Earth's surface is water. The planet has a relatively thin atmosphere composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. The above picture of Earth, dubbed Blue Marble, was taken from Apollo 17 in 1972 and features Africa and Antarctica. It is thought to

In 1990, NASA commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission, to turn around to photograph the planets it had visited. NASA ultimately compiled 60 images from this unique event into a mosaic of the Solar System. One image Voyager returned was of Earth, 4 billion miles distant, showing up as a "pale blue dot" in the grainy photo. The minute speck was nearly lost in the

We went to the Somerset wetlands at Westhay on the 28th to watch the starlings to come home to roost. There is an area where the tourists go but Deacon, my brother-in-law, knew a much better place that was much closer to where they were expected to arrive. They come from all over the south of England and start arriving at about 4pm.Small flocks fly in from all directions and combine to make a

This was the best line-up for a festival I have been to. But apart from the bands, this wasn't probably wasn't the most eventful festival. We had a pretty quiet spot in the Orange camp nothing much really happened on Thursday, Friday and Saturday apart from some intense boozing. "BOLLOCKS!" was back in fashion with a sprinkling of "TIMMEH!" and no "118 118!" Sunday was the usual rip down with the

Well, it's nearly over and I've managed to not blog a word about it despite being tragically addicted to it. It's been another good year for BB and we are now down to the last four.It's also been quite funny due to the fact that I've pretty much hated all of the housemates for one reason or another and very few of them have any redeeming features.

Bloody Hell that was way too close... I was watching the match through my fingers at the end and in typical British style I was expecting the worst when Kasprowicz gloved the ball to Jones off Harmison and we secured the win by 2 runs.It was a fantastic match and we were ahead for the majority of it and it showed that the Aussies are very dependent on McGrath who was injured.

There's this website that I got severe Dustin Hoffman syndrome on. It is BugMeNot and it circumvents all the free registration crap that a lot of websites, especially newspapers, seem to want you to do. It's dead useful.I also tried this fun exercise.

I'm still alive... honest. I saw Green Day in Milton Keynes on Sunday and they were absolutely awesome.

Dan Wheldon has won the Indy 500! It was the best race I've seen all year. At the end there were four drivers who could have taken it and our Dan ended up on top. There was a woman leading the race with 10 laps left which is great. Kudos to Danica Patrick who showed most of the field how to race. The coverage from America was such that you would have thought that Danica had won... that's the

The whole Manchester United, Malcolm Glazer thing is very interesting, especially from my point of view being a Wimbledon fan. This is a pretty good stab at an impartial view of what is occurring.Unfortunately, football, especially at the top level, is no longer about the love of the game but the love of money! Wimbledon was an extreme case of this and had its league position stolen for a

For those who don't know where Titan is, it's a flipping big moon orbiting Saturn and it took seven years to get there so it's quite far away. It's the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere. The Huygens probe piggybacked on the Cassini spacecraft that left Earth in 1997 on a tour of Saturn and its

DO NOT ATTEND THIS CONCERT, STOP LISTENING TO BAD MUSIC, TURN OFF YOUR RADIO AND TELEVISION!!! One soapbox, one megaphone, one hardhat and this is what you get. Highly amusing.

I'm an uncle! My little sister Amy had a baby boy called Ben. Didn't ask dimensions of aforementioned bundle of joy although I think I should have done considering how many times I've been asked. Don't see why it's so important because I reckon it'll sting a bit however heavy he is... Now I'll have an excuse to play with Lego again in a few years! Good work Amy and Deacon ;) EDIT: Crikey...

Forgive me but this may sound a bit convoluted but this is what's happening in my head at the moment... Smoking's great but I don't smoke... I did for about fifteen years but I stopped on the third of February this year and it's safe to say it made me really miserable for a while.

Wow! I'm clean again... I best tell you about it then. ::Thursday Weirdest. Day. Ever. I had packed for the Festival on Wednesday and I had a job interview on Thursday. It lasted from 8.30am to 4.00pm. It was one of those jump-through-hoops days where I felt like a lab-rat being lead through a maze. It’s a really good sign that I got through to the third stage but the trouble is I’ve built

I'm back from the Reading Festival and I can officially state that the normal world seems at lot less normal than normal but this is normal because the normal world is not normally normal but it really is not normal at the moment AND it's not at all muddy. BOLLOCKS!!! (NB: Standard Reading shout)

"Accept the mud and see it as a friend, be one with the mud and you will truly be free" -graffiti, Glastonbury 1997 I'm going to the Reading Festival this weekend. It's going to be legendary one way or the other because the line-up is one of the best for ages and half the site is underwater at the moment. I'm most looking forward to The Wildhearts because they rock and are one of my favourite

So, I was in a fecking FOUL mood this morning for various reasons. One factor was being awake before midday. The other was that I had a major panic about the Reading Festival but that sorted itself out and I'm now 99% going due to some top evil sniping on Ebay by my mum. (Ebay guru but an IT luddite... work that one out...) That cheered me up. I also had a full on fluff overload. I stumbled

They're in a new league but it's business as usual for AFC Wimbledon. They came back from 0-1 down to win 5-1 in a masterful display. That's 64 league wins in a row now. Man of the match Jamie Taylor bagged 2 as did Richard Butler and Steve Butler scored one. Ursell and his golden boots (seriously...) were masterful in the middle. Bit of a relief but I don't think we can get complacent. There

The new season starts for AFC Wimbledon on Saturday against Ashford Town in the Ryman League Division One. It's been a bit of a bumpy ride. Iconic manager Terry Eames was sacked for being a gobby twat and basically sticking his foot RIGHT in it and Nicky English, the youth coach, was called to stand in. He managed to get us to the end of the season with no alarms and no surprises and his passion

I don't get The Polyphonic Spree. I saw them last year at the Reading Festival and I left early. I could have seen Linkin Park or "The Park" as they're know in the business (yes, I am mocking them...) I think I should try to understand them because they all look so happy when they are on stage and they obviously love what they do. However, I heavily suspect that their consciousness may well be

WE WUZ ROBBED!!! Okay, so Urs Meier disallowing Sol Campbell's header on the line for fouling John Terry put us out of Euro 2004. But, Portugal were a better team and probably deserved to go through.

I turned over to E4 this morning after New Zealand bowled us out in the cricket. As you may know, two housemates have been put in a bedsit to spy on the Big Brother house. The producers of Big Brother must be rolling around on the floor laughing. I can tell you that there is something VERY wrong with watching two people watching Big Brother.

Big Brother is TWISTED! I am yet to be convinced that Big Brother is Evil. I'm sure some of the house mates are clutching at the threads of sanity. They appear to have been picked to cause each other the maximum amount of grief and have arguments. There are some real weirdoes.

It is the epitome of William Shatner in the film that is the best thing about Star Trek. For the uninitiated, there is a scene in "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" that has claimed a place in Sci-Fi history.

This is a better view on the "Blogging Lifecycle" simply for the fact that it appears to be closer to my current situation. Edit: I know I'm being pretty negative and boring at the moment but I'm exploring this and trying to figure out where my commitment and motivation went. Edit 2: At least I'm posting again...

Hehe... thought I'd go for a hat-trick of posts in April. Done a bit of spring cleaning, updated my books and music and thrown together a new title. Free chocolate chip cookie to anyone who can tell me who the Evil Robot is....

I found this in a post on what appears to be a forgotten cache of a long dead blog from back in old 2000. It seems that this life cycle has been recognised and been around for a while. ----- Stage 1: Denial. You set up your blog. You are excited. You start blogging all your favourite bands and sites and friends. You think your design is nifty, that you are someone special now. You want people to

Strange. I popped back to see what was happening and found that many of the blogs I regularly read have either stopped or packed up totally and they started around the same time as Planet:Maffydoo. There definitely seems to be a "Life Cycle" to blogs.

I don't really know... After many months, I seem to have lost the bug, my blogging muse is no longer speaking to me, I have hit a wall, I have plateau'd, I have blogger's block. What has changed to make this happen? I have no idea. I suspect a lot of bloggers go through this but because Planet:Maffydoo and Vanishing Maffydoo is the only meaningful (to me...) presence I have on this big old

Hello gentle reader (notice the singular is used...) I have some more loverly linkies for your wonder and delight. :: This poor woman is sick on live radio... Listen to it before you eat ;) :: Oh no! You co-worker's heads have exploded and they're after a chew on your spicy brains! It's Crunch Time! :: Stupid People + Video Camera = THIS! Can you say Jackass....?

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, It is by the leaf of Assam that thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Yesterday, for some reason, people at work were confusing me with someone who actually gave a shit... That's right... I had a right "Monday" on. All I wanted to do was get through the day and not have to speak to anyone in case I happened to bite their heads off but they kept trying. One individual in particular thought it was vitally important that I check out his ultra hilarious Jabber avatar

I got an email with stuff on it that made me chuckle. I'm sure we've all had them in our in-box before but I thought I would share it with you. :: Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones. :: At the end of every party there is always a girl crying. :: One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronized with a complete stranger. :

Sorry for not blogging anything here for a while. I'm still alive but I'm engrossed in a game called "X2: The Threat" and jolly good it is too! One other thing, if anyone smokes, STOP! Not for the health reason or the financial reason but simply for the fact the I have been having some fantastic dreams since stopping and they are really vivid! I had one that involved a cheetah, a gerbil and

I know that in the past I have said that I'm bored of all these on-line tests but this one is really odd. It's one of those Blot tests but in reverse. I'll let you know what I get when I'm at home. The questions I saw were really interesting. EDIT- I've taken the test. Apparently I'm "Sad Ambivalent Optimistic". I'm not convinced but I like the colour. Anyway, World... meet my blot.
