Charity bags

We’ve had four of these this week from different charities. Whilst I appreciate the need for clothing and other items, there’s a few too many arriving so we end up using them as bin bags. Sorry charities, but if we left them all outside the front door we’d have a small pile of them. Read more →

What the hell are Muller adding to their Yoghurts?

Perhaps it’s all the rules and regulations surrounding food advertising. Perhaps it’s just designed to go viral. Perhaps Muller have just bought a whole load of trademarks… …perhaps they’ve just gone completely insane. Either way, I suddenly want to eat a yoghurt whilst driving a Trans-am with Yogi bear… Read more →

Amazing music man

I really have no idea who this guy is but he does some stunning stuff with his voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-7bQ1pNoBw&feature=youtu.be OK, update. He’s actually been in Police Academy and Spaceballs and is properly massive in the States. Sorry Michael :) Read more →

Virgin Galactic – Anyone wanna lend me £127,000 ?

Let me just see if I’ve got this right. Richard Branson has opened his new Spaceport. It’s where very rich people will take off and enjoy a short time in space.

Same colours, same styles, same everything almost. Have a look at this.… Read more →

Here’s how I would cut back the BBC

Hey Mr BBC, if you want to save money, why not close some of your crappy local radio stations? OK, perhaps that’s going too far. Why not reduce the power of them at least? Here in the West Midlands I can get BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Stoke, BBC Radio WM, BBC Radio Leicester, BBC Radio Shropshire and BBC Radio… Read more →

October. Heat. Mega.

I guess I could fit this into a tweet, but heck – Twitter is killing the traditional blog so I’m rebelling. Eat that Twitter… …oh bum.. this is going to get posted automatically on Twitter anyways… Doah. Well, after the rather glorious weather this weekend (shorts and sun-tan lotion in October here in the UK just isn’t something you ever… Read more →

eBay Illiteracy

eBay is a great resource and can help you save stacks of cash. However, it does reveal those “real people” who use the internet. Let me explain myself a little. I often think that people reading this blog are pretty intelligent and work in IT or similar roles. There are those, however, who sit on Youtube and eBay all day… Read more →
