Is it wrong? I think so

Right, I’ve got to blog this. It’s just wrong. So, so wrong. Am I weird for thinking it’s wrong? Well, let me tell you about what just happened. Perhaps you will agree. Today I’m in an office building. There’s lots of companies inside and it’s all very posh. However, I’ve just gone to the gents toilets and something just plain… Read more →

Poddy !

It’s not often – if ever – that I discuss my mates on here. However, there’s one guy I’ve lost touch with and just found on facebook. Back in the day, when I was at college, he and several others made sure that beer was appreciated and loved. As for me, I never touched the stuff… honest. So it’s great… Read more →

Don’t park your car in London

Have a read of this forum post. It shows some rather over zealous parking wardens in London attempting to take a car away that had gone just 10 minutes over it’s allowed stay. A flat-bed truck turns up and attempts to quickly pick the car up, however things don’t exactly go to plan as the car tips wildly forwards and… Read more →

Netvibes having problems again

What’s happening with the guys at Netvibes.com?

Over the last few weeks I’ve seen messages like this stating that “New servers” are being put online but I think they could possibly be coming… Read more →

Here’s something you don’t want to see in your mirror. :) It’s the Police… :) Before we pulled over (to let them get by) I took a photo. Don’t ask me why, I think the tiredness is kicking in and I’m going a little delirious ;) Read more →

Do you know your English language?

I don’t normally publish forwarded emails here, but this is a fantastic one and well worth publishing. It highlights the sometimes crazy construction of the English language. See how you do! Can you read these right the first time? 01) The bandage was wound around the wound. 02) The farm was used to produce produce. 03) The dump was so… Read more →

The Credit Crunch bites

Well, let’s face it. We’re all screwed. House prices are slipping, fuel prices are rising, electricity costs are going up, food costs are soaring, firms are laying off staff and we’ve already heard the phrase “Credit Crunch” two hundred times. To be honest I thought it was a new type of chocolate bar but alas no. The future, it seems,… Read more →

Blimey! A blog post!

Here I am. Yep, still alive. For me not to post in my blog for nearly four weeks is a bit strange, but I have very good reason. This is baby Billy. Our son. There’s such a lot to mention regarding the birth but, like most of the massive things in my life, I spend quite some time enjoying and… Read more →
