An unfortunate name..

I’ve found a rather interesting town in Canada that I think you should try and visit. It has a rather … unfortunate name … however, as you can see, it’s a beautiful place. They call this place “Dildo”. Yes, you heard right.. Dildo. This page tells you about the town.. “Every summer Dildo sponsors Dildo [...]

Best invention, ever?!

This is simply stupendously ingenious. In fact it’s possibly the greatest invention of our time. Called the “BeerBelly” it sits around your gut and holds a huge quantity of beer in a plastic container. After filling it up you simply drink your favourite beverage through the attached straw. Then you just slip a t-shirt on [...]

Bullseye is back and it’s fantastic!

After watching a few seconds of the absolutely terrible Saturday evening TV show, “An Evening With Coronation Street” and suffering yet more “Top 50 Best Ever”-something-or-other shows I’ve had enough. No more dance shows. No more flippin’ talent shows, no more reality shows! But wait… I’ve found the replacement. I’ve found a TV show that’s [...]

Drunken thoughts..

I went out drinking last night, which is something – I assure you – I rarely do (ahem!) After quite a few beers I got in the taxi which I’d pre-booked. It’s usually the same taxi firm every week so you get chatting to the driver. This week I was just a little bit drunk. [...]

Sky+ on the cheap – my quest for a new PVR

Here in the UK the multi-channel world arrived many years ago. These days it’s gone far and beyond mental.
