Month: October 2005

When Channel 5 started up a few years back we all thought… Why? What is the point? It was an analogie TV channel, launching pretty much the same time as “ITV Digital”, which later fell apart and became Freeview – the national terrestrial digital TV network. With digital TV boxes now costing 20 quid a box for loads more chnnels… Read more →

A short blog to tell you al that the clocks go back early in the morning, so Europe and the USA get an extra hour in bed. Back to GMT for me – no more British Summer Time. It’s dark, cold and wet here in the UK. Booo!!! Still, this is when TV ratings (and gas bills, thanks Scottish Power)… Read more →

Sweet Mary Mudder ! There’s a programme on Channel 4 called “Hollyoaks : Let Loose”. I don’t watch it, believe me. But wOaH! Check these pictures of Gemma Atkinson (there’s a site about her here too) from some magazine.. CALLING ALL THEME / SKIN / HOMESCREEN MAKERS! I’D LOVE A HOMESCREEN / SKIN WITH GEMMA ON!!! Ohh baby, baby…. Read more →

I was out shoppping yesterday in Morrisons. As I got to the checkouts I noticed that the queues there were really long, so I got in the “you’re obviously on your lunch break”-queue (i.e. 9 items or less) and waited. At that point some elderly bloke sneezed all over me. I’m not kidding – this was like a really bad… Read more →

What the heck is going on with our Government and this smoking ban stuff ? It’s just a complete mess and they’ve come out with a bill which is pretty much exactly the same as what’s currently happening in England anyway. Our Health Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, said that she is “proud” to announce this bill and that.. “This legislation is… Read more →

The first thing I wanted to mention here was something I read over at B3ta.com, which made me laugh. Please tune out for the next paragraph if you find anything offensive because it’s about a sexual action called the “Spiderman”… “Is a girl I’ve been shagging for a few months but not really ‘going out with’, as my heart lies… Read more →

I took a day off today. It’s chuffing brilliant to have a day off and make a nice two-day weekend into an even nicer three day weekend y’know. :) I took today off primarily to go try out some suits for our wedding in June next year. We got up early (around 11.30am) and then went down to the suit… Read more →

At the pub the other night I noticed this device whilst pointing the pink shooter at the porcelin firing range. It’s the a big tub full of Fuzzy Brushes. According to their “knocked up with Frontpage in a couple of hours”-style website, Fuzzy Brushes are… “…a unique ‘all in one’ toothbrush and breath freshener, designed by dentists. All you have… Read more →

I’ve only just stumbled across UrbanDictionary.com. It’s a site where people can submit their own words and definitions. Browse to it and put a word or place-name in and see what happens. Sometimes you get a good, descriptive and knowledgeable write-up, but most of the time you’ll get a funny description of the word. As an example, check out “Mobile… Read more →

I saw this on the news this morning. It follows the invention of new “pong proof” pants. Tiny fragments of silver are woven into the pants (underpants for you guys in America) to help stop bacteria multiplying. Sky News decided to ask the nation whether they change their pants daily or not. The results are a bit surprising! … I… Read more →

AGH! Lulu! Who the hell decided to use her as the face of Flora Pro Activ ? Bleugh… She’s one of those celebs you just would never tire of smacking. Just imagine her singing her classic “Shout”….. “WeeeeelllllLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllllllLllllllllllll!!!!!” SMACK! SMACK SMACK !!! SMACK!!!! Flora, for those of you that don’t know, is a margarine… butter… low-fat spread… y’know… basically it’s… Read more →

I had a great blog all written out on my Pocket PC y’know. It was a fantastically funny look at my life and it would’ve made you roll about laughing. One problem though. When I finished writing it, I placed the Pocket PC onto the charger and it froze… the whole screen stayed solid and the backlight wouldn’t go off.… Read more →

Yet another fantastically lucky day for me by the looks of it. In my email this morning I’ve already won stacks of iPod Nano’s, bucket-loads of Gift Cards from Foot Locker / Starbucks / JC Penny / Walmart … and oh, oh oh.. let’s not forget the 10,000,000 I’ve won on the “UK Lottery”. Great stuff! I can add that… Read more →

I had to take a sneaky shot of these guys in the local car showroom. I find that “sneaky” photos are best done by pretending to be on the phone, then standing with the camera pointing straight at them. SNAP! Gotcha ! This guy, wearing the ever-crappy fake Burberry cap, was looking – I think – at a Honda Civic… Read more →

I popped round to see my folks last night and spotted some deodorant in the bathroom. I took a photo of it, right. It’s called “Fresh Fish” from Boots. Yes, some bright spark had an idea to call their new company “Fish” so that the products could have really wacky names. So, for body-spray we have “Fresh Fish”. For hair… Read more →

Well, I’m still surprisingly awake besides it being 7.42 PM in the UK and 11.42 AM in my head.. and having hardly any sleep last night (if you can call it a “night”) in the plane. However, I’m home. I’m just wading through additional emails following my request earlier and will be submitting them directly to Microsoft very soon indeed.… Read more →

This post has been removed, sorry. Several people took a great dislike to this post. Unfortunately, although we live in a seemingly free world, I had a huge amount of threats and intimidating emails from certain citizens of the US telling me that I must remove this post. It would seem that the activity I was invited to partake in… Read more →
