Those bombers…

I’ve tried not to blog about this purely because the people doing it aren’t worth any kind of publicity, however this afternoon a green cherokee jeep was driven into Glasgow airport and set alight. The individuals inside were captured and nobody was injured. This, of course, follows two foiled car bombs in London yesterday. The stupidity of these individuals is… Read more →

Driving at Daytona – The video !

OK, OK, I said I wouldn’t mention it any more but I’ve had a few emails asking to see the video of me in “action” at Daytona. If you’ve not read the previous blogs about this (here, here and here), then you should try it. Many people go to Florida each year and no doubt they’ll take their children to… Read more →

Cannock coucillors are insane – official

A few miles up the road from here is a town called Cannock. You may not have heard of it, but it’s an old mining town which has now become famous across the internet due to amount of chavs living there (seriously, check ChavTowns.co.uk and other sites). Now, if you’re not entirely sure what a chav is, it’s worth looking… Read more →

Old TV shows I used to watch as a kid…

I guess I’m showing my age here, but here’s a programme that I vaguely remember from my childhood. It’s not so much the lady in the builders hat, but the weirdly big computer behind her and perhaps the daft little car too. The programme is Chockablock, and I don’t even want to mention what year it was broadcast! Here’s another… Read more →

Gordon Brown is a scruffy bugger

I rarely blog about political issues, but today Tony Blair steps down as Prime Minister. In his place comes Gordon Brown. Now, I’ll have to apologise for being so utterly shallow, but I’m not a big fan of Gordon Brown. My reasons are as ridiculous and nonsensical as ever but I’ll try my best to explain .. Before Tony Blair… Read more →

You! I want to take you to a gay bar!

Many weeks back I wrote a big blog post about a night out in Birmingham. For one reason or another I lost the original text and never actually posted it. However, I recently found a video on my phone from the night in question so I thought I’d re-write my original blog. We’d decided to go to Birmingham on a… Read more →

A big weekend blog post

I’ve had a rather strange weekend. It ended last night with me getting a severe dose of man-flu, which I’m still suffering from this morning. Emily seems to think it’s just “a bit of a cough and a sore throat”, but only us men can know the real pain of full-blown man-flu. On Friday I watched “Road Wars” – a… Read more →

Carling C2 – What are they on?!

Hold on, let me get this right. Carling have come up with a new lager, called C2, that’s weaker than normal Carling? ARE THEY COCKING INSANE?!?!?!?!?! Carling is weak enough already! Adding water to it and calling it “C2” is NOT a good idea. Read more →

The flying Brit restarts my interest in F1

I’ve not really watched Formula 1 for years, but after the rise and rise of Lewis Hamilton I’m suddenly getting back into it. Tonight I watched the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis on ITV1. Wow, and I mean wow. That guy drives like there’s a missile following him around the track. He’s 22, he’s never driven on these American tracks… Read more →

How I got into computers

Running a site like this can, at times, be a bit of a love / hate relationship. I rarely get chance to just browse. Y’know, a bit of floaty Googling, randonly looking at things out on the internet. Tonight I started looking at some old computer sites and found Commodore-Amiga-Retro.com. This really threw me back to my first few computers… Read more →

Vote for Connie in Britains Got Talent! :)

OK, OK, I know it’s another one of “those” shows where the public vote in and people get booted off and publicly humiliated, and yes, I know I’ve mentioned it before, but… little Connie Talbot is now in the final on Sunday (tomorrow). Sure, she’s six and people are partially voting purely because she’s cute, but she’s got an amazing… Read more →

I want a Bugatti Veyron… now please..

A lot of the car shows on TV are currently trying to outclass each other. Fifth Gear and Top Gear are fighting it out and recently Fifth Gear tried to do more than 200mph on the German Autobahn. From what I remember, I don’t think they did it. However, car magazine AutoCar took the “oh my god” Bugatti Veyron onto… Read more →

Can you parallel park?

That daft woman stuck in our local floods the other day seems to have got her fat backside plastered all over the internet since we posted it yesterday. But woah, I’ve found something else. You’ve got to admire the sheer willpower of this crazy lady, who spends a full 4 minutes trying to parallel-park in a street. The car is… Read more →

Just one last mention about Daytona

I promise not to mention this too much more, especially after my numerous blog posts, however I’ve just managed to get this scanned. Here’s me stood next to the Richard Petty car before I hopped into my Jimmie Johnson number 48 car. Again, if you’re planning to go to Florida any time soon, make sure you book up with the… Read more →

The storms !

Here in the UK it’s absolutely throwing it down. There’s floods, closed roads and trapped cars. The TV crews are out in the raining to capture the moment, and I couldn’t help but laugh at the rather stupid woman who in this live broadcast from up the road in Sutton Coldfield. She… a) Drove her old Fiesta into a road… Read more →

Britains Got….Something….

I know I shouldn’t, but somehow I’m finding “Britains Got Talent” quite entertaining. For a kick off it’s only on for a week, which means it isn’t going to drag on for ages, plus the audience aren’t exactly holding back in their opinion. Here’s the ..ermmm.. “unique” Caroline Boyes. They let her into the semi-finals after she made the judges… Read more →

Cake! Cake! Gimme Cake! I want cake!

An American TV show called “Bridezillas” follows seemingly nice women as they plan their weddings. For some reason they decided to stick them in a wedding cake eating competition… with no cutlery … Whilst you have to give some of the girls credit for fitting such a lot in their mouths (ahem), I wonder how many of their future husbands… Read more →

Father Ted still makes me laugh :)

I was watching one of the satellite channels last night (don’t ask me which one, I think it was E4 +2 and a half) and Father Ted was on. I’ve always enjoyed this show and will record or watch the endless repeats that are put on.. Here’s a clip I just found on Google video. It’s Father Jack in one… Read more →
