      <title>Pete's 30th Birthday</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pete finally caught up with me in March this year and turned the grand age of 30!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We had a mini celebration on the day but held off anything bigger until after the Hastings Half Marathon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimandpete/2402943397/" title="Pete at 30 by kimandpete, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3105/2402943397_15a0017203.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Pete at 30" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oh dear, Pete turns 30 and realises he cannot take his drink anymore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We had a house party to celebrate (2 weeks after his actual birthday )courtesy of our friends Lucy and Andy who loaned us their larger house to contain all our friends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chris Cootes did a brilliant disco and we all had a great time. Take a gander at some of the results a bit of alcohol can have!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;View the entire album here: &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=102317&amp;amp;id=867555525"&gt; Pete&amp;#8217;s 30th Party Album&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Silly Slogans</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It has become a bit of an obsession of mine to look out for vans with funny taglines.  I try to get them on camera when I can.  Here is what has tickled me so far:-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/51/152410605_d2e5f30328.jpg" alt="Juicy Pear Van!"/&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Juicy Pear Van - disgraceful!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/44/135318874_b928261fb5.jpg" alt="We Open Wider Van!"/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Open Wider Van - how rude!&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Best Blonde Joke in the World?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Found possibly the &lt;a href="http://j-walkblog.com/index.php?/weblog/posts/blond_joke"&gt;best blonde joke in the world&lt;/a&gt; whilst browsing the net the other day.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Use Markdown to format your comments</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The blog software we&amp;#8217;re using (&lt;a href="http://typo.leetsoft.com/"&gt;Typo&lt;/a&gt;) has a couple of great filters that allow you to write fancy-schmancy HTML in articles and comments without actually having to know any.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To me, the most impressive is &lt;a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/"&gt;Markdown&lt;/a&gt; because the syntax is immediately familiar to anyone who uses text email.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, to &lt;em&gt;emphasise&lt;/em&gt; a word you do *this* (i.e. produces &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt;). Use two **asterisks** to make it &lt;strong&gt;bold&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;produce&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a list&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;by typing this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Links&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Links are very easy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Google UK](http://www.google.co.uk)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;will produce this: &lt;a href="http://www.google.co.uk"&gt;Google UK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Headings&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can create headings in a number of ways. Either underline it with - or =, like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;heading
-------
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;or add # before the heading text. You can add between 1 and 6 #s - 1 produces the biggest title, 6 the smallest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# Largest Heading (i.e. H1 in HTML)
###### Smallest (H6)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a complete guide, go to the &lt;a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax"&gt;Markdown Syntax Documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
