Month: December 2009

Most of us will be getting rather fat and drunk on Christmas Day. However, one guy spent last Christmas walking around London with his camera… very weird… Link – flickr.com Read more →

I’m getting pretty pissed off with the level of panic due to the snow here in the UK. Here’s a news item that’s on the FRONT PAGE of the BBC News website. It’s a Boeing 737 that has “slid off the runway” at Prestwick airport in Glasgow. The actual truth (further down the story) is that it landed fine and,… Read more →

Ekk. Now I’m getting even more annoyed. Yes, following my previous blog post I’m now annoyed by something on the local news. I couldn’t really believe my ears, so I had to check the website and ….. yes it’s true. On Sunday the West Midlands Ambulance Service had over 3000 calls to 999. That’s 3000 in one day. It was… Read more →

My Christmas cheer is in short supply right now. I’ve just been into town, which is never a good plan just a few days before Christmas. I knew it was going to be busy but I forgot the reason why it was going to be so busy. The reason? Idiots. Yes, I’m being harsh, but it only takes a few… Read more →

It’s Friday, it’s nearly Christmas, so here’s mostly stolen stuff from the b3ta newsletter.. Let;s enhance ! A great video showing just how similar plot lines can be.. Oh, and don’t drink too much this Christmas, otherwise… A bit of swearing in this one, but funny as. Truth in advertising.. Read more →

It’s that time of year again. Christmas is here and lots of people, including myself, are decorating their houses with lights. We’ve got quite a few up now but I try not to go overboard. Anyway, about a week ago Emily was driving back from the shops via a council estate. On the horizon she could see quite a bright… Read more →

This has been robbed from reddit but I think it’s well worth posting here too. The accompanying text states.. Read more →

It doesn’t matter how many times the networks tell you “roaming is getting cheaper” it’s still a crazy amount of money and my advice has to remain the same. Don’t use your phone abroad unless it’s an emergency, otherwise you WILL be paying up to 1 per minute – sometimes even more. Here’s a bill for just three calls which… Read more →

I’m going to blog this because it’s driven me nuts and for some reason there’s only a small bit about it on the web. Here in the UK, if I spin around on the spot then I’ll become disorientated. If I’m in the US, I’m disoriented. Meh. It’s like aluminium and aluminum all over again. I thought I was going… Read more →

I’m absolutely loving this tune… “Drink all day, play all night, let’s get it poppin… I’M IN MIAMI GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!” Read more →

This advert is literally everywhere on YouTube at the moment. It’s on everything, but I really, really don’t want to turn muself into a cartoon. Anyway. While I’m here. Check UniversalPoster.com – pick a celeb, write some insane stuff on the poster in their hand-writing and send it to a friend or relative for Christmas. Excellent :) Link – UniversalPoster.com Read more →

If anyone wants to have a good look at their neighbours online then a good starting point is usually Google Maps. However, Microsoft aren’t standing still and have just revamped their maps system, complete with 3D aerial views which, when they ARE available for your area, are absolutely stunning. Check out Bing Maps and zoom in – it’ll choose the… Read more →

Something I should perhaps never do is slag off the company who are providing live services to coolsmartphone.com. However, I need to comment on an all-new SLA that has been introduced my the co-lo provider we use. You may remember our connectivity problems some months back and the down-time it caused. The issue was a network failure with rapidswitch.com and,… Read more →

This appears to be a van owned by Hydrotek Environmental Services. What fantastic advertising ! :) Why can’t everyone be open an honest with their marketing ?! :) Read more →
