Creative parking
We went to the Lichfield Bower today. It was pretty rubbish weather but, due to the size of the event and how popular it is, there was the usual parking “fun”. Now, I’m usually up for “creating” spaces in car-parks when they run out, but this guy really takes the biscuit.. :) Read more →

This FTTC stuff is pretty cool

Shh.. Don’t mention Ryan Giggs and Imogen
He’s got an injunction out, so we can’t mention it.. OK ? This all comes from Tweets like this. It just takes two seconds on the web to find out Giggsy’s name. It’s even on his Wikipedia page, so this crazy law and injunction is so out-dated it’s unreal. Read more →
Paypal phishing

Websites to be blocked… in the USA

Cheap flights, only 50p!
These girls came to my attention recently. They’ve done a song about those infamous 50p flights from the likes of EasyJet and Ryan Air. You can get their DVD from www.fascinatingaida.co.uk Thanks to our lovely receptionist for telling me to watch this :) [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAg0lUYHHFc’] Read more →
Sometimes I hate cash machines
If there’s one thing I hate about cash machines it’s this. Not all of them do it, but a few do.. – Hello Mr. Customer, please insert your card. – Thanks, Mr Customer. Now, enter your PIN. – Thanks. Would you like to top-up your phone ? – OK, what service would you like ? Cash, cash with a receipt,… Read more →

The Mail Rail
You probably never knew it existed, but there’s another underground railway in London. It doesn’t carry people, it carries post. At least, it did. It was shut down in 2003 after costing too much to run. 6 miles of track now lie unused with most of the access points secured. A group of people managed to break in recently and… Read more →
