Mash !

Now, you may not know this, but I’m a massive fan of TheDailyMash. It’s hugely funny and the writers have a happy knack of being bang on the money with their daily news items. Do give it a read. My favourite stories from today include this Lady GaGa story. The second paragraph is comedy genius. Another one worth checking out… Read more →

Proof – People are STUPID

Further proof, if it were needed, that people are f****n stoopid. Using Google Insight I’ve done a lookup on the most searched terms during the last 7 days. Here’s what people have been GOOGLING for.. (the link above may have changed since I typed this). Yes, people are going onto google and doing a search for google. Irrefutable evidence that… Read more →

Increasing prices, but keeping them the same

The people that host this server have just ramped up their prices. Prices are being increase “in line with inflation” and they’re using the Retail Price Index (RPI) to bump up prices by 3.7%. According to the email I’ve just had … “RPI shows prices for goods and services have increased by 3.7% over the past year, and this manifests… Read more →

That’s it. I’ve seen everything now..

I can’t really explain this one properly. It’s footage of a lorry on a motorway in Yorkshire. It’s pushing a car along the A1(M) quite happily and, according to reports, the driver of the lorry knew nothing about the car wedged on the front. The video was taken by someone in a car that was OVERTAKEN by the lorry. You… Read more →

Jelly Babies – Wobbly Lollies. Err….

Last night we were having dinner. Our son, Billy, wanted a lollipop and went over to the freezer to let us know. He loves lollipops, so we’d bought him these… We’ve never had them before, but after seeing him eating one it’s warped my tiny little mind. Me and Emily had one too – they’re an almost rubbery substance and… Read more →

Sierra Cosworth RS500 – Buy one

Sure. A top speed of 154mph and a 0-60 mph of 6.2 seconds may not sound supersonic by todays standards, but in 1987 (when D and E reg cars were around) something amazing happened – 500 Sierra Cosworth cars rolled off the production line. They were very special and had 224bhp a lot for 1987. There’s more information here but… Read more →

I fought the law and the law won

If you’ve got some time to spare, I’d like to heartily recommend the 27bslash6.com website. Apart from random YouTube comments and forum flames, the web is now becoming quite “PC” with websites often targeted for mentioning anything even slightly illegal, even in jest. The post today, called “5PM” is an amazing piece of work and well worth checking out. The… Read more →

In a wired world – should we turn off more?

Sometimes whilst travelling you can overhear discussions which are really interesting. I’m in one of those situations right now. I’m at an airport somewhere in the world and there’s some people behind me from… another country. I’ll not mention the country, but let’s see if you can guess. For the last 50 minutes I have listened to two gentlemen talk… Read more →
