Cup Of Coffee

Last night much of England experienced an earthquake. It was one of the biggest in 25 years and I … slept through it. Compared to certain parts of the world a 5.3 magnitude quake isn’t anything to worry about but… when I got to work this morning.. I noticed the damage that had occured. This [...]

Can it be ? Sunday night here in the UK and the worlds most talked-about site is currently offline. Link – YouTube.com

When it rains you’ll no doubt grab an umbrella. There’s a few problems with these things though – they’ll fly about in the wind, they bash into other people, other umbrellas and all manner of street furniture. Luckily… errm… yes..

Every time I mention Gemma Atkinson around here I get dozens of emails telling me off for posting pictures of semi-clad women. It’s a fair point, so I’ve been extremely careful when snipping this photo. Gemma is this week out promoting something. What it is I have no idea, but she’s wearing some pink basque [...]

A lot of people think the UK has changed in recent years. I used to live in Dudley and Wednesbury, and that’s changed beyond recognition since I was a small child. These towns have now become a multi-cultural melting pot and many people have varying opinions on the changes. Now the Defence Department here in [...]

Viewers of Ashes to Ashes (“fire up the Quatro”) will love this bit of Police work :) Here’s the Police doing a early morning raid on a suspect as part of a drugs raid. The Police are trying to crack a 100m cocaine empire so, seeing that the 3m property was fortified, they decided to [...]
