I’ve got some rather random things today that I thought I’d blog about. Right now everyone seems to be protesting at the University near to where I work. The students at Keele University appear to be blocking traffic in protest at their exam papers not being marked. The reason for this is because the Association of University Teachers (AUT) are… Read more →

Some of you may remember the blinged out wheels we spoke about a while back. These wheels produce any image you feed into it’s clever little memory as you drive along. Now, direct from America, is the next big “bling thing” for your 1.1 Fiesta. Yes, it’s an exhaust “turbine”. Check it out! You spend about 25 quid, stick it… Read more →

I’ve just stumbled across this interesting Google invention called “Google Trends”. It’s a bit like a “which is better”-type website. You just enter two words or phrases seperated by commas and they’ll tell you which has the highest amount of searches. Clever huh? So, what we at CoolSmartPhone HQ wanted to know is, which is better ? Smartphones or bananas… Read more →

This is an absolute classic. See this guy? This is Guy Kewney. He runs a website caled NewsWireless.net and writes several magazines and IT newspapers like IT Week etc. Got it? Yeah? Now… you see this guy… This is not Guy Kewney… repeat… NOT Guy Kewney. However that doesn’t stop the mighty BBC making a huge balls up by wheeling… Read more →

Hopping between flights it’s probably all too easy to get wound up by what seems like the simplest things. In this case it’s luggage – and the flight I’ve just come from showed why. We all got on board some weird looking jet called an MD88 and tried to put our bags into the luggage compartments, or “bins”. It quickly… Read more →

Today I’m on the way to the USA on some “business”. I think this is my first flight with Delta airlines and, apart from having no seat-back TV’s it’s not too bad. The lack of multi-channel TV during the 9 hour flight means that I’m filling the time writing this blog. Yes, I’m on board right now typing this on… Read more →

Here’s the best bit of “England vs Germany: Legends” that was on Channel 5 on Wednesday. I was down the pub at the time and it had the whole pub pi**ing themselves with laughter. The idea of the show was to take a group of classic players from England (Gazza, John Barnes etc) and pitch them against a classic German… Read more →

Today, we’re told, is the hottest day of the year so far. It certainly looks that way. The sun is shining and the great British public are out in their droves mowing lawns, washing cars and cleaning windows. People are actually smiling too – we love the summer. Soft-top convertibles suddenly appear with girls trying desperately to keep their hair… Read more →

I found this blog today with a free ringtone to download.. It ermm.. .. well, it’s a little self-derogatory… The picture on the right, taken from the site, has been edited slightly. If you do go to the site be aware that there’s a smidge of swearing – plus the ringtone itself basically goes like this…. “I AM A TW*T… Read more →
