Cadbury confuses….

I’m still undecided on this Cadbury advert. Half of me is puzzled by it (like, what the heck has that got to do with chocolate), but the other half of me has to admire the balls of the advertising company and Cadburys themselves for sticking this minute-and-a-half commericial on.

Two excellent internet finds

Some days you can browse the internet for hours looking for that certain program or utility and never find it. Then, other days you find everything you need and more. Today I found a few things, but I’ll need to explain a little more before I tell you what they are. I’m one of those [...]

Deidres’ Photo Casebook

Yes, it’s back and the acting is still as good as ever… If you’re not up to speed with this, it’s a video version of an agony column in a newspaper here in the UK. They use models to simulate the stories that have been written in and, although it may shock you, they’re not [...]

A website worth visiting :)

Blimey, what’s happened to the ITV website? It’s…. errrmm… Good! You can now tune into (near) live streams of ITV1, 2, 3 and 4 plus there’s streams of all your favourite ITV shows. So, if your other half wants to watch another channel and you want to watch something on ITV, just fire up their [...]

Think you’re having a bad day? Meet Tim Brady

If we’re honest with each other then we’ll all admit to exceeding the 70mph limit on motorways. I don’t know anyone (other than truck drivers) who keep under the limit at all times, and that shows daily when I get overtaken on the M6. Sure, there’s people doing 75mph, 80, 85, 90 and probably a [...]

Local webcams for local people

The ITVlocal.com website has some rather good streaming videos and live webcams. Their cams can be put into full screen and seem to be better quality than the BBC webcams. This is a shot from my nearest big city – Birmingham. It certainly looks much better than it did about 10 years ago thanks to [...]

Ad blocking

This little logo is for Adblock Plus. If you haven’t guessed already it tries to block the adverts displayed by various websites. Now, whilst I can understand people using this and other systems like it on the larger “popup crazy” websites, we’d like to ask that you don’t use these systems on Coolsmartphone.com. Why? Well, [...]

Oops, I think I’ve lost the plot

Yes, yes, I know. This is like, soooo last week, but I had to post it. Here’s that huge Britney fan crying about the press and how “evil” they were in criticising Britneys’ MTV performance. How dare they, it’s not like she’s got a drug problem or anything is it? It’s disturbing, worrying and a [...]

Where does your cat go? Find out!

Having been in our new home for a little over a month now, we’re finding that our cat (who you’ll no doubt have seen in every review we did in the last few months) has made herself right at home. We have no cat-flap, so she tends to go out of the lounge window. Don’t [...]
