Cup Of Coffee

I’m a little lost by this whole volcanic ash cloud thing. I’ve only caught bits of information but, from what I understand, some big-ass volcano has kicked off in Iceland and splatted loads of dust into the upper atmosphere which could get stuck in plane engines. This is obviously a bad thing, so the skies [...]

Speed cameras do have their place. A lot fail though, with many of the fixed cameras by my house being raced through by boy-racers who are well aware which ones have cameras in. Average speed cameras are in place on motorways now, but it’s mostly confined to the M25 and within road works. This works. [...]

Dear TalkTalk. Please go away. Stop sending flyers through my door. Stop sending letters through the post. Stop sending salesman to our door at 7PM to try and sell your broadband. I don’t want it. I’m already a customer of yours for our telephone service. Yes, I know it’s cheap and I get what I [...]

Saw this on TV last night. You can lend £70 for a week (ideal for funding drug habits) ;). I know it’s only for short-term loans but just check that APR ! There’s other companies doing similar “pay day” loans, including txtloan.co.uk – they will send money into your account after you’ve simply sent a [...]

Another day, another phishing email. These are getting more and more sophisticated, using images from the official websites (why banking websites don’t stop remote linking I’m not sure) and worst of all – they’re not being stopped. I had this one last night but now, a full 20 hours later, both Internet Explorer and Firefox [...]

…when you can buy a cheap knock-off version from China ? Here it is in all it’s glory, fresh from a random spam email I’ve just received. $348 ? Bargain!

Don’t ask me why, but Michelle Heaton gets on my nerves. She seems to pop up on every two-bit trashy TV show in an effort to become famous. Apparently she’s a singer or something. Anyway, here’s her falling over .. :)
