Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Relieved

The good news is that I no longer need to drive to Eindhoven every day.

A Quote that made me smile..

America may be unique in being a country which has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization. — John O’Hara

So..

Says it all really :-)

Stonehenge Reloaded!

In New Zealand, the concrete Stonehenge Aotearoa is interesting, not least because they had to re-align it to work in the Southern hemisphere.
I think this is a good idea, the original is a pretty empty experience at times (go to Avebury, it’s a nicer circle) and a decent reconstruction may well give a better experience of what it actually means.

Tariq Ali;

on the subject of Afghan and Iraqi elections:
“Create a new elite, give it funds and weaponry to build a new army and let them make the country safe for the corporations.”

It´s called BackScatter,

so now I know the name for all the emails I get because some scum spammers use my domain name as a source of forged reply addresses in their pathetic schemes. As this site puts it:
Backscatter is a message you receive informing you that email you did not send was not delivered to someone you do not know.
Perfect.. couldn´t have put it better myself.

Rooney is a little pillock,

but the little lout inspired a nice quote:
“After the ’98 World Cup Michael Owen became known in the media as the baby-faced assassin, Wayne Rooney is now being referred to as the assassin-faced baby”
5Live apparently.

Stockholm

is a very nice city, beautiful sights, great food and nice people. I just got back from a friends wedding there, it was great. I particularly recommend the Vasa museum.
Some photos are online too..
