Month: March 2009

I’ve tried to come up with some words to go along with this news story, but I’m a little stuck. This apparently happened (although, who really believes newspapers ?) in Stuttgart, Germany. Bizarre! Read more →

Perhaps this is how kids rebel now-a-days. I’m not sure. An 18-year-old from Berkshire decided to paint a 60-foot penis on his mom and dads 1 million mansion. It’s been up there a year and no-one has noticed, which isn’t too surprising as it’s on the roof… pointing up… What a dick… Link – BBC Newsbeat Read more →

Woaha!!! What the frig happened to our shopping bill!? Never mind credit crunch, this is a wallet melting joke! All we’ve got to do now is figure out how to go through a week or two without eating, or buying nappies, or buying any cleaning stuff. At least it’s not just us. Stand at the checkout in your local aircraft-hanger-sized… Read more →

So, here’s the new car from India that’ll be affordable and much safer for the majority of Indian familes who currently ride mopeds pretty much everywhere. Seriously.. the whole family on a moped. An upgraded version of this .. um… thing… will be available in Europe later, hopefully with safety features like.. err.. air bags. Thankfully it only has a… Read more →

This morning I actually stopped the car to take a picture of the sky. Don’t worry, I wasn’t on the motorway or anything, but it was an early start for… Read more →

I just have to put todays Dilbert into the blog. I don’t think I’ve got to this stage though! Read more →

If you’ve followed my blog for a while you’ll know about my one or two car accidents. They’re mostly not my fault, but the insurers seem to think otherwise. ;) Now, when I crashed my car last I took the opportunity to buy a sensible Diesel motor instead of the rather thirsty petrol I had earlier. When I swapped I… Read more →

I’ve just been reading this story about how pirate radio stations can block the airwaves and put lives at risk. Interestingly last night I found yet another pirate station – this time really powerful on 107FM. It’s called Midlands Underground and seems to be playing some hefty drum and bass stuff. The signal seems to be extremely stong and I… Read more →

OK, I mentioned my bank on the front page of the site and, to be honest, it’s not the place to do it. Here, in my blog, is perhaps a better place to slate my bank. They are, without doubt, totally uncaring towards their customers. I’ve been dodging the “account review” that they insist I’ve been needing for around 2… Read more →
