Cup Of Coffee

On Thursday I went to the barbers. Here in the UK men go to a traditional “man place” to get their hair cut unless they want one of those weird spiky hair-cuts that teenagers and generally cool people want. Unfortunately I wasn’t really paying attention, and I didn’t quite get the haircut I wanted. I’ve done this [...]

I received this email this morning. It’s a typical junk / phishing email… I was just expecting a badly stuck-together Government website, but this one is quite nasty. It actually has links to several carefully-crafted bank-login pages, so it’ll capture people using any high-street bank. They’re all very well done too, with only the URL [...]

There’s no stopping it. Just to prove, they’ve put this on their main page…

I’ve moved “Dons World” over to www.donscomments.com. This will be filled with funny and strange comments overheard in offices around the world.

They’ve got one of the most insane recycling systems in the UK. Click here to see how the bizarre system works. Newcastle-under-Lyme is famous..

Anything I hear in the office that sounds funny will be going here. Today we have this.. “I’ve been out with a Chinese girl once. The thing [...]

Spam scanners do a really good job. Sometimes too good. You’ll find yourself sitting there thinking, “Hey, I’m sure I used to get loads of mail – I used to be so popular”, then you’ll kick yourself and remember that it was mostly junk. So, when a mail does slip through the net it’s usually [...]

I’m a bit late to the party on this one (nearly a million views as I type), but this kid is 13 and peforms an pretty stunning version of “Paparazzi” for the crowd, who quickly become mesmerized. He’s done many more, which you can find here in his YouTube channel. I think this kid has [...]
