Bus Advert
You’ve heard of Mega Bus. Perhaps they should advertise their services like this Danish bus company called “Midttrafik”. If you stick the subtitles on (look for “CC”) it’ll make a bit more sense.. Epic.. Read more →
Just spotted this in Tesco
I’ll try to be delicate here. But… Ummm… Y’know what Guinness tends to “do” to your… Ermmm… toilet…? HP have decided that sticking it onto a SAUCE would be a logical step. Sorry HP… Not for me. :) Read more →
I’ve just told my son all about Star Fleet
This goes way back to the very early 1980’s. It was call “X Bomber” but here in the UK got known as “Star Fleet” with Brian May (he of Queen) releasing an album dedicated to it. The opening titles are epic. This was a fantastic programme (I’m going to put my fingers in my ears so that I can’t hear… Read more →
I can’t begin to tell you how much this made me laugh
Perhaps I’m just very childish, but the presence of Mrs Clutterf buck in one of my sons bedtime stories was too much to bear last night.. ;) Read more →
Boris Johnson. Crazy. More MP’s and Mayors like him please.
This closing speech at the Olympic and Paralympic Parade is epic… Read more →
Broken down Porsche
We got held up this afternoon by a broken-down Porsche. That in itself should be enough to raise a small but smug smile on the faces of many, but as we drew closer I noticed that the bonnet was up… Anyone notice the problem with that? Trying to fix your broken-down car by popping the bonnet? On a rear-engined <… Read more →
Steam – It’s great …
Avoid real life. Play online games… :) Read more →
Local newspaper fail
Where do we start with this photo? I mean really? The photographer must’ve turned up pissed. Sure, he’s got a nice shot of the ground, but what’s going on with the dogs? They’re bored, they’re walking off somewhere to the right.. Meanwhile, the girl on the right has her face obscured by one of the torches and.. hang on. What… Read more →
What’s my name?!
When I’m abroad no-one seems to get my name right. In previous years I’ve been known as “Lay” on Starbucks cups, but I’m particularly proud if this one. To be fair it was ordered over the phone, but when I went to collect it even they were a bit puzzled as to how they got it SO wrong. Read more →
Food warning
Are you a sensitive individual? If so, the food might be allergic to you.. Read more →
Spotted on holiday
Just in case you can’t work out how large this bottle is, those on the left are the NORMAL large bottles that you see on the supermarket. The ones on the right are the kind of thing that’s normally mounted upside-down in pubs. Because many of us don’t have the ability to mount each bottle to our walls, they gave… Read more →
The sad passing of Terry Nutkins
The Really Wild Show was on during my childhood and, along with Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan, Terry Nutkins presented. He sadly passed away today at the age of 66 and loved animals all his life. He leaves 8 children (yes, 8!) Whilst this is a terribly sad day I must mention how fit Michaela Strachan still is, all these… Read more →
After 10 years of writing..
I have to admit that this is my finest work to date. Sure, you may think that it took just minutes to do, but there was blood, sweat and tears poured into that my friend.. If serious broadsheets like The Telegraph or The Times are listening, I’m heading your way… Link – Serious Adobe Flash Article Read more →
Well now, that’s just showing off
Meet Sportacus. He’s got a really big rocket… Read more →
Morrisons have gone a bit space age
The local Morrisons have got themselves a … thing in their produce aisle. It seems to spray mist all over the vegetables. It all looks a bit space age if I’m honest. The people of Stoke-on-Trent seemed to ignore the fresh veg though, as the oatcakes were on special offer :) Read more →
Don’t ask me why…
A coupe of cats we saw on holiday. I’m sure that one on the left would cost quite a bit. Isn’t that a pedigree of some sort ? Read more →
I want a wall like this.. :)
Oh yeah! Living the dream baby! 6 TV screens on the wall. This, if I ever have enough money, is how I want the wall in my “den” to look … Y’know… In my mansion… Read more →
Virgin manage to hold up West Coast decision
I’m quite a fan of Virgin trains. They run well, quickly and of you get a good ticket then they’re pretty cheap too. The recent decision to give the contract for the West Coast Mainline to First Group raised more than a few eye-brows. First Group bid very highly and seemed to guarantee a massive kick-back to the Govenment. One… Read more →
Solar power in the UK.. It confuses me
There’s a number of properties getting solar panels in our area. I’m assuming that they produce electricity which gets used in the home and it seems to be increasingly popular since the Government started pushing it. In Cyprus they also have solar panels, but these appear to produce hot water instead of electric. The tanks on top appear to store… Read more →
Another classic Heat news item
Oh dear. Spot the glaringly obvious error in this article from Heat. Perhaps it’s a new version of the iPhone… :) Read more →
