Month: March 2007

OK, it’s Friday, so here’s a couple of daft links for you. Firstly we’ve got these Google directions… everything was going so well until step 57…. Next up, for all those looking for a hotel in Cirencester, why not try this place? They’ve got some great staff…. If you’re not feeling daft then definitely check out this rather interesting underwater… Read more →

I’ve always maintained that a large majority of people in this world are utterly mental. To back up my theory I add any evidence of this here (check out this lady earlier today for further proof). On the way home I found another example of madness in action. What am I talking about? Well, it all starts with sat-navs.. Usually… Read more →

You may have heard this on Radio 1 last night. I simply had to hunt it down and post it here. Words really can’t do this justice. This is the recording of a 911 call – 911 being the emergency number in the USA. Now, most people are aware that they onlt call this number if something terrible happens, like… Read more →

Regular readers will know that I have a penchant for the delightful Gemma Atkinson. She used to brighten up my Sunday mornings when appearing in Hollyoaks a few years back. Her… “assets” .. weren’t what you could call small back then, and she ended up in many mens magazines like FHM and Loaded. However, she decided several months ago to… Read more →

Dear blog readers, I need to tell you something quite important. It’s something we’ve been thinking about for quite a while now and – although it may not be terribly interesting to you guys – it will no doubt form part of every other blog post during the next few weeks. We’re moving. No, not the site – we’ve already… Read more →

Security at it’s finest here. If you can’t see the problem with this then you’re probably the one that put the lock on in the first place! :) Read more →

There’s a new TV show on tomorrow night called Marbella Belles. It’s all about five Btitish women who have decided to leave their respective areas of the UK and instead live in the Costa del Sol. One lady, who I believe is called “Jo” is from Essex and.. err… well, her singing voice isn’t up to much. This is probably… Read more →

OK, now stick with me on this one. I’m not “into” planes that much, however I’ve been sent this link and I think it’s well worth sharing. Sam Chui, an Australian news reporter, was invited onto one of the first Airbus A380 flights with passengers on board. Pretty much all of the passengers were press and the plane was virtually… Read more →

Remember this lady from Dragons Den on BBC 2 ? She runs LingsCars.com along with a blog and she’s got an excellent website style. Her page is relaxed, informal and yet professional all at once. This lovely Chinese lady is insane, but I love her site and the way she does business. To advertise the site she originally came up… Read more →

So you’ve heard of YouTube.com yes? Well, what would happen if you did the same but cut out all the copyrighted stuff and then published the resulting videos onto the internet and TV! Well, it’s now arrived in the form of “Current_” which is on channel 229 on Sky or 155 on Virgin. You can make and upload your own… Read more →

I’ve already mentioned the sheer arse that is our Eurovision entry. Possibly the most cringe-worthy bit is where random-dark-hard-bloke says, “Would you like some salted nuts Sir?” Somehow I’m fairly sure that it’s not the first time he’s offered some bloke salted nuts. Y’know what I mean? ;) I wasn’t sure who’d actually phoned up and voted for this utter… Read more →

Last week the PM of Great Britain announced some huge changes which are intended to dramatically reduce the level of greenhouse gasses being pumped into the atmosphere. The UK are leading the way here, and it follows the infamous Kyoto Agreement which also intended to reduce these levels, although to a lesser extent. As you’ll know, the USA decided not… Read more →

Somehow I ended up watching the “Making Your Mind Up” show last night – where the UK public choose the song for Eurovision. Poor old Justin Hawkins was there, singing is little heart out after his career fell flat on its arse… but gawd, the winner – and the song going through – was “Scooch”.. Read more →

It’s great having a phone with a camera. We were out shopping today and spotted this rather interesting car. Well, Emily spotted it as we walked across the car park. It is, perhaps, a rolling cow fan club… The parcel shelf was crammed full of toy cows, as you can see. When we walked around the side it got worse…… Read more →

So this morning I was on my way to work. It’s a journey I do quite a bit and sometimes you find yourself pulling into your allocated parking space without ever realising how you got there. It’s especially true in the morning – you’ll be in an almost day-dream-like state. Just follow the car in front, stop at the traffic… Read more →

I had to nip into the evil money-grabbing bank today. It took me ages to find a pen that worked. I went to every single pen-on-a-chain in the branch until I found one which actually worked. You’d think with all the hideous charges they add to my account each month that they’d at least be able to afford a box… Read more →

This guy is definitely sticking to his guns. When a developer offered money to him and his neighbours to move out so they could build a big mall, most grabbed the cash. This one resident rejected the offer, and is now asking for a whopping 1.3 million for his house to be moved. Developers have demolished surrounding buildings and have… Read more →

We were lucky enough to visit several places during our honeymoon in June last year. The first destination was Las Vegas, which I only spoke about a couple of days back when I mentioned how money-driven the place is (obviously). We stopped at the Venetian, which is a stunning place and has a river going through it (no, really!) complete… Read more →

The whole Red Nose Day thing is, as usual, a fantastic cause and well worth your money. There’s a few bad points though, firstly is the Sugababes vs Girls Aloud song, which is possibly the worst pile of arse ever – just don’t buy it, just give a fiver or so direct to the charity instead and give your ears… Read more →

I’m watching Transporter 2. It’s actually the second time I’ve seen this film but… heck, it’s a great film. In fact I think that it’s better than the first “Transporter” film. Yes, yes, the stunts are stupidly far-fetched. First there’s the Audi driving off the side of a multi-storey car park into an un-finished office building. Hmm.. That’s a little… Read more →

Whether you’ve got Vista or XP, you’ll no doubt have your favourite picture or background on your Windows Desktop. There’s a few to choose from within Windows or you can use shots from your digital camera. I’ve got a shot of a palm tree that I took on holiday, complete with the blue sky in the background. If you’re looking… Read more →

Last year we went to Las Vegas during our honeymoon. The place is insane, and hotels, casinos and restaurants are simply blown up when public lose interest in them. History, it seems, takes a back seat in a city which is driven purely by money. :( Just to the east of Las Vegas is the Grand Canyon. It’s obviously got… Read more →
