A few things baffle me about this news report. The introduction of speed limiters into cars with satellite technology on-board means that your speed will be adjusted automatically to ensure that you’re within the limit for the road. Great yes? Well, put it this way, if the reporter had a dirty great truck behind him whilst testing the system I… Read more →

Yesterday I blogged about the cardboard mountain outside our house which was caused by the Christmas toys. I don’t currently have time to take it all to the recycling centre, so I put the huge pile of cardboard on the end of our drive and hoped for the best. Strictly speaking the bin men could ignore it because it’s not… Read more →

This year was Billys’ first Christmas and we had a lot of toys. You may or may not be aware that most childrens toys are strapped into boxes with lots of cable ties, screws and wires. It takes long enough to remove all this stuff and actually get the toy out but the cardboard that remains uses up more space… Read more →

Agghhhh !!! Get out of my head ! This video may confuse at first, but the next time you heard the Rockafeller Skank you’ll be singing this … Link – Check it out now, the … Read more →

It’s a real shame that some of our most famous brands are now becoming victims of the global credit crisis. Woolies have so quickly slipped into the abyss that it’s shocking. Victims of increasing competition and internet shopping, they’re even starting to sell the fixtures and fittings – shelves, filing cabinets, office chairs and even the lockers that the staff… Read more →

I’m becoming aware that every few weeks I pimp the hell out of The Daily Mash but it’s just utterly brilliant. This story about the bail-out of the British car industry (Is there one? Really?) is bang on the money, and is especially funny for me as I drove into the back of a Range Rover Sport recently.. :) Read more →

I spotted this tap in some public toilets (I forget where) and decided it was worth a blog post. This is one particularly happy tap :) Read more →

I was lucky enough to be in Seattle recently. The radio and music is very different in the USA and I searched through the local stations with the radio in the hotel. Most stations were talk shows, traffic news and endless amounts of adverts, however C89.5 was a blast of fresh air. The music was just… brilliant. Proper dance tunes,… Read more →

It was certainly interesting to hear about a shoe being thrown at US President Bush. Firstly I was amazed that it wasn’t an American citizen that had done it, secondly I was pretty shocked at the accuracy of the shoe-thrower. The Iraqi reporter apparently shouted something about Bush being a dog, then chucked his shoes at the President. This event… Read more →

It’s not often I see a low-tech phone, however this is the Doro HandleEasy 326. We’ve mentioned it before and now there’s one in my hand. It’s not just for senior citizens – I was perhaps wrong when I said that earlier. This is also ideal for people with sight problems and the large buttons make it easy to dial… Read more →

I’m going to buy a big gun and have it mounted on my bonnet. That’s it, I’ve decided. Want to know why ? Well, my journey to work this morning took twice the time mainly due to idiots. It snowed a bit last night. Not much, hardly anything to worry about. The main roads were clear and everything was moving,… Read more →

Perhaps it’s just me having a mind permanently stuck in the gutter, I dunno. This is an advert that popped onto one of the many childrens TV channels on Sky. It’s for a toy called “Helmet Heroes”. Damn.. So many crude jokes.. So little time.. Link – FlickR Read more →
