Another 70 ($140) of petrol goes in and we’re still doing nothing about it. Sure, everyone is feeling the “pinch” but with gas and electric prices rumoured to increase yet again, I think it’s getting to the point where simply getting to work and back, eating food and trying to keep warm in your own home is costing more than… Read more →

Right, I’ve had enough of this guy now. It’s time to get your coat Mr Brown. You’re barred. “We’re listening, we’re listening”, says the Prime Minister. …meanwhile average hard-working people are having to re-mortgage their homes just to get a weeks worth of shopping in. Read more →

Yay. Firefox 3 RC 1 is now available to download. I’ve just installed it and it’s removed version 2 completely. It’s fast. Really, really fast. Finally, Firefox loads from the desktop in just 2 seconds! That’s way faster than any Firefox I’ve ever seen before! It renders pages like lightening. Seriously, if you ever think that a site is running… Read more →

So, another busy weekend is over. We managed to get quite a bit of stuff done – our fireplace is back in and we’ve cleaned the driveway and done lots of gardening. On Saturday we were getting a few well deserved minutes rest on the sofa when, suddenly, Em’s car alarm went off. This was strange, especially when it was… Read more →

I had just have to link to this video. It covers the rather strange views of residents in West Virginia on the Presidential Elections in the USA. The idiotic, insane and crazy views are just jaw-droppingly unbelievable. The two women in the coffee shop are perhaps worse, with one saying that Barack Obama isn’t an American. When challenged by the… Read more →

Poor old Victoria Beckham has decided to peddle more ove her over-priced jeans. Bad times. She has, however, decided to give up music, so we don’t have to suffer her synthesized cat-like screaching any more. Good times. Link – Sky News Read more →

You’ve got to hand it to George Bush. He’s possibly the stupidest idiot alive. It’s a good job he’s not in charge of a country, else there’d be serious problems. In a recent interview he revealed that he’s given up golf in order to support the troops in Iraq. Yep, in a chat with political newspaper “Politico” and Yahoo, he… Read more →

Good grief, the Government have actually done something right! :) Wembley (a football stadium in London) recently got knocked flat and a spanky new stadium has been built – imaginatively named the “New Wembley Stadium”. The rubble from the demolition had to go somewhere, so the trucks (60,000 of them, to be precise) went and dumped it all next to… Read more →

At last! Sky TV have updated their internet TV listings. It’s about time, but it’s still pretty hidden from the main sky.com page. Why does it take so many clicks for customers to get to this? Anyway, I love it – a site that actually works – it’ll let you remote record (which is great for setting stuff to record… Read more →

Ber-lumey. Has it really been that long since I posted last ? Yes indeed it has, so here’s some mad loon doing a rather respectable job of dancing along to Rick Astley – ala the Rick Astley video (here’s the original if you want to compare). It’s strange what people do with their free time.. :) Read more →

This is very good. Sure, I’m on Facebook, but it’s not like “real life” is it ? I mean, you probably wouldn’t go to the pub with everyone on Facebook every day would you? However, what if Facebook was real – what if everyone tried to communicate the Facebook way? Perhaps this would happen.. Link – YouTube.com Read more →

Here’s the receipt for the tank of fuel I put in this morning. It’s actually 2 CHEAPER than it should’ve been because I had a voucher to save 2p on every litre. I’m going to have to start looking at a Diesel motor soon, especially as I do mostly “extra urban” (motorway) journeys. My car is doing roughly 36mpg, but… Read more →
