Cup Of Coffee

We have a cat. Her name is Poppy. We’ve nursed her back to full health after she was diagnosed with a skin condition whilst at the local RSPCA. When we first saw her they’d had to shave most of the fur from her face because she’d scratched half her face off. Everyone walking through the [...]

Last week I posted about the Nissan Micra I’d been given as a hire car. It wasn’t brilliant for the motorway, so I asked the hire car company for a bigger car. On Friday they came through with this – the Ford Focus Titanium 1.8 TDCi. It’s got about 115 bhp and this model costs [...]

I love Gordon Ramsay and his “Kitchen Nightmares” show. I’ve just watched the American version, which follows the same format as the UK original, except… the American Producers have… completely f***ing ruined it in every way. For a start it’s HEAVILY edited…. and I mean HEAVILY. How the makers get away with distorting reality like [...]

I spotted this house in the local paper last night. It’s a computer-generated image because the house isn’t quite finished yet. Located just up the road from me in Sutton Coldfield it’s got 6 bedrooms (yes, 6), 4 reception rooms and 5 bathrooms. There’s even secondary accomodation over the garage and a swimming pool, gymnasium, [...]

Regular readers to my humble blog will know about the slight accident I had recently. Since the accident I’ve not cleaned my car because, if I do, the mirror (which I’d stuck on with tape) drops off. The guy who came to check the damage and pick it up yesterday found that the car was [...]

Here’s the new Polish section at Asda. It’s not really a section, more of an entire aisle really. It’s quite funny pushing your trolley down there as there’s a mix of baffled people who can’t understand the labels and old ladies trying to find the Mr Sheen and Pledge.

The all-new Knight Rider is just around the corner. Here in the UK I’m guessing one of the billions of channels will pick it up, but here’s a 30-second trailer for the new show. For some reason Kitt sounds like Optimus Prime (Transformers reference) and the car has suddenly become huge, ugly and crap. Shame [...]

Let’s hope they don’t completely ruin it like they did with the Cobalt platform (which they bought for about $2 Billion and then ditched) eh? Expect to start paying a wad of cash for the ever-excellent MySQL sometime soon. :( Link – sun.com

I want to keep this story fairly generic because I’ve probably annoyed a few people. Last night I came home from work, as I normally do, and – yet again – the son of my next-door neighbour had parked his huge old car outside our house. Emily had parked her car on the drive, so [...]

Here’s some interesting foreign tuna in a tin.. :) Sorry, I just had to.. :)
