Cup Of Coffee

As it’s Friday I’ve snipped a few links from the ever-popular b3ta.com… including this Japanese girl doing some mash-up dancing moves, which made me laugh quite uncontollably…. :) Hamster wheel of death. Don’t worry, the hamster is OK… :)http://www.flurl.com/uploaded/Ratrace_74924.html —– We don’t know what’s going on here but it made us laugh so much we [...]

When I was in the USA and put amongst a group of people from all around the world who I’d never met before we fragmented into groups. The British, German, Australians and New Zealand dudes seemed to get on best with each other. Eventually I figured that it had something to do with our collective [...]

Y’know those lights in the aisles of planes that show you to the exit doors ? Well, here’s something similar for your house. This is carpet that…err… glows… a lot. In fact, it all glows, not just the edge but all of it. It doesn’t need electricity or batteries and works in a similar way [...]

Fridges were built to house beer – it’s a proven fact. However there’s a small minority of people who’ll argue that something called “food” needs to be put inside too. This impacts heavily on the space available for the beer and causes a great deal of argument in our house. So, it’s with great joy [...]

Driving down from Manchester this morning I thought it was about time I fixed that strange wheel wobble on the car. Let’s be honest here – although the “Highway Code” says something about ensuring you check your car before each journey – we rarely do. The Highway Code states… Take special care that lights, brakes, [...]

Hotels. They get on my tits at times. Last night I stopped in a certain hotel at Manchester Airport. Although it has a very posh name it really, really doesn’t live up to it. This particular chain of hotels is usually fantastic, but the one at Manchester Airport is a 1970′s relic with furniture and [...]

I’m doing some serious globe-trotting right now. On Saturday night I was in foggy Telford. We went to this place – Frankie and Bennys. It’s a very family orientated restaurant with an American feel and I personally think it’s great for kids. Me and Em went with me brother and sister-in-law and their son. To [...]

Good old B3ta.com is always a good place to find deranged photo-shopped pictures and jokes. Every Friday they publish a newsletter full of funny links. Here’s some of the best from this week.. “This is a message from the Estates Department at Durham University regarding the showers”” http://www.bornsloppy.co.uk/funny/shower_0685.jpg —– “I’m trying to replicate the General Lee, [...]

I was avoiding some roadworks this morning (they’ve ripped up the A5 near Cannock in Staffordshire) and had to go up this road… anyhow… I went past a shop, which is sort of pictured here. The yellow writing says….. “BOSTIN’ BAGUETTES” I think it’s a marvellous example of a French snack with a Black Country [...]

This is a CD which takes pride of place in my music collection. It’s Born Slippy by Underworld. It tore up the dancefloors all over the UK and beyond a while back and I first heard it after watching TrainSpotting at the cinema. The track didn’t really get a full release for a good while, [...]
