Unprecedented – A word being abused during the floods
Have a look in the dictionary and you’ll see the word “Unprecedented” described as… Without previous instance; never before known or experienced; unexampled or unparalleled: an unprecedented event. So why the hell are we calling the repeated flooding here in the UK described this way? Here’s a look at the news items today.. Stop making it seem like a once-in-a-lifetime… Read more →
Red 2 – Well, Top Gear ruined that film for me
You’re probably familiar with the Top Gear track. It’s been home to the “Stig” for quite some time, and a few years ago they filmed parts of Casino Royale there too. However, because it’s so well known, the Dunsfold Airfield kinda spoiled Red 2. This film was on last night and, in what seemed to be every airport scene, it… Read more →
Adele from 8 years ago
Here’s Adele in 2007 when she was just 19. This is actually a year before her debut album was released (also confusingly called 19), in 2008. In this video, about a couple of minutes in, you’ll see DJ Annie Mac looking absolutely gob-smacked. How things have changed for Adele… :) Read more →

Spectacular cable management
Way back when I was first starting in this whole IT game, I did some cabling. I tried to be neat, but to be honest it’s always a constant fight. Now, I hate linking to 9gag but they have some spectacular examples of cable management. Ooofff… nice. It’s enough to make you moist :) Read more →
This girl is 5. She’s 5!
Check this out. The best I could do would be to make some sort of hap-hazard noise, much like an elephant tumbling down a hill… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i44dEgyxULk Read more →
Heard a funny noise in Manchester today?
That’ll be the wind hitting this thing, the Beetham Tower… Sadly, when the wind kicks up, a very strange noise comes from the tower, and it seems to be caused by the glass blade. This has been happening for years and they’ve tried to fix it, but as you can see it’s still not fixed. In 2012 architect Ian Simpson,… Read more →

5 Seconds of Summer / Duran Duran
AHA!!! Thank GOD it wasn’t just me… Just minutes ago I posted the classic 80’s Duran Duran track next to that 5 Seconds of Summer thing and… well, if you mash them up…. Read more →

Remember that charity cycle ride?
This is the new track from “Stealing Sheep”. It’s called “Apparition” and is really rather good. The video too, is lovely… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqVYDRM842s This lovely video, filmed in a lovely village, reminded me of all the lovely places I cycled through on the charity ride earlier this year. We cycled along the Pennine Bridleway from the edge of Howgill Fells in… Read more →
Welcome to Syria
Here’s some Russian drone footage, combined with some insane electronic music to make it seem “cool” and almost like a compute game. Either way, it’s basically footage of what’s happening right now in Syria. Pretty terrible. The place has been blown to shit. No wonder people want to get the hell out of there.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q60yBQG8XI Read more →
43 deaths or injuries – by gun-toting toddlers.
This is just flat-out the most depressing chart ever. If the NRA had their way, toddlers would be given more guns to protect themselves from other toddlers. IN-SANE… (Borrowed from Washington Post) Read more →
Morrisons just dropped the ball. Aldi and Lidl win again.
The big supermarkets are all suffering at the hands of the discounters. Customers are now choosing to do regular “top up” shops and they’re being clever too – realising that cheaper doesn’t always mean “not as good”. However, a year ago Morrisons launched a loyalty card scheme called “Match & More”. It replaced their “Morrisons Miles” scheme for petrol users… Read more →
More shootings in the USA. The situation is insane. Everyone knows it.
The President is visibly exasperated by the sheer insanity of the NRA here. Watch for the bit where her references the UK and Australia, plus – when mentioning how the NRA want more guns to make schools safer – he says, “Does anyone really believe this?” Honest guy. Read more →
Big news! We’ve all been lied too! HURRAA!!
A BBC news item (that can be found here) reveals that those smooth, calm lab tests are nothing like the normal driving we all do in our cars. They found that diesel cars which AREN’T part of the massive VW scandal produced far, far, FAR more emissions that is allowed by law. They’re guffing our nitrous oxide like you wouldn’t… Read more →
