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 →

Dyson lose court battle against Vax
Following my earlier post, Dyson has just lost a court battle against Vax about the near-identical vacuum cleaners that Vax produce. How this can be I’m not sure, but obviously the court doesn’t care if it’s a complete design copy. Pah! 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 →
Megabus offering bunk bed buses
This seems like a pretty decent idea, although I would worry if there’s lots of roundabouts on the route :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15392176 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. The Spaceport is called “Spaceport America” and cost $209 million to build, but part of that was funded by the US taxpayer. I wonder how many of those taxpayers… Read more →

Vax obviously can’t be arsed..
Poor old Vax. Dyson has come along and vacuumed up the market (or should that be hoovered?) They’re pretty screwed so, with Dyson taking Patents out everywhere, Vax have just copied the shit out of every Dyson vacuum cleaner. It’s not just the odd likeness either, they’re cloned. 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 →
