Cup Of Coffee

What the hell ? We’ve seen the Aibo dog previously, but now there’s these freaky-weird robotic cats. The robotic pussy comes courtesy of Necoro…. Weird and wrong…. But I guess they won’t rip up your sofa… View the video here (mov file, needs Quicktime) More info – necoro.com While I’m here, there’s yet another classic sweary sweary parody of the… Read more →

After stories regarding the “Happy Slapping” craze amongst teenagers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4539317.stm) it appears that websites like Chavscum.co.uk are fighting back. They’ve come up with a new t-shirt, however some people thought that it didn’t quite get the point across, so this one is now ready to order (a bit of swearing below)….. just to be on the safe side.

We hate “the frog”, we hate everything to do with this annoying toss. It’s therefore great to see this news story which states that mainstream TV-Channel ITV is “reviewing” the Jamster campaign after a flood of complaints have come in. Complaints were originally made to the Advertising Standards Authority – however they are unable to act, as they only control… Read more →

I’ve just been trying out Netscape 8. Very strange. It’s got tabbed browsing, it’s got RSS integration and more. However, the “rendering engine” can either be set to “Internet Explorer Rendering (default)” or “Firefox Rendering”. I’m confused. What is this ? IE with a different front end ? Firefox with a different front end ? I like the RSS integration,… Read more →

I was in the pub last night.. normally it’s my refuge from the world. Some lager, some chat, and all my problems go away. Until… over the gentle background noise of a pub comes… BA DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING BWAAAP BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA ..and then… Read more →

Before I begin, I’d just like to say – in response to this story – he was “familiarising himself” ????!?!?! At 159mph ??!?!?! Ahh anyway.. That damned frog! AGH! It’s ruined MTV, MTV Dance, MTV Base and all the other music channels.. now it’s on a quest to ruin the half-decent channels of TV-land. However, we have the valiant graphic… Read more →

Good to see that the Royal Mail have announced record profits of 537m. They’ve now got the best record of deliveries in a decade, with less letters lost now than before. I wonder though – why the FRIG can’t they get our post through the door before noon ?! We used to get our post before I went to work… Read more →

Before I start my rant, here’s a picture of how Google used to operate in the 1950’s… :) I had a letter today from the guys at the M6 Toll. It seems that they’re going to ramp up their prices yet again on June 14th 2005. Here’s the sheet with the new prices…. This comes after traffic has dropped on… Read more →

It’s not often I get totally and utterly peed off with stuff. Generally I’m an easy going chap, happy with the world and everything in it. However, sometimes I can get extremely annoyed… today is one of those days… I firmly believe that somewhere in the world, perhaps in a little hole buried deep in StupidVille, there’s a big bunch… Read more →

If you’re in the UK you may have seen this bird on the right (sorry, I shouldn’t say “bird” – I should say “female TV presenter”) on a TV Programme called “Property Ladder”. I got this funny animation of her (right) in an email today. Shortly after I got another email, also about a femal TV presenter. I’m going to… Read more →

Let me start by quoting a recent Harpic Bleach advert… “Keep your toilet fresh and stop nasty surprises nipping up to the rim….” (Shot of posh woman lifting seat) “…like the mother-in-law..” So remember that people – Harpic Bleach keeps your mother-in-law away from your rim… (COUGH!) This weekend I went back to the hair-dressers / barbers – you know… Read more →

I’ve just put this promo video online, which comes courtesy of our great friend Doofus. Log in, check it out and lemme know what you think ! Click here for the link Read more →

It’s not often that I shamlessly plug a company on this site…unless.. a) I’m involved in it. b) I’m getting some money for it. (Woah is me with my empty donations bucket!) c) I’m getting some semi-naked female dancing in front of me for several hours. But I’m gonna break the mould just this once, ‘cus I like this shop… Read more →

Watch it or else.Modern Toss 1 I love this one the best.. :)Modern Toss 2 It takes a specal kind of rock’n’roll fan to witness the face of the King himself in a hairy… Read more →

I’m going to sound a tad like Jacek now, but it would appear that PodCasting really is taking off. Even Sky News is now doing their own PodCast with a very good description about what PodCasting is… “Want to listen to news and sport when you want? (PodCasting) lets you download the latest audio news and sports reports from Sky… Read more →

I’ve got to apologise for this in advance. Just a quick blog about a “service” which you may not be aware of. It’s hidden in your local Arc Carwash and it’s probably not advertised. This particular “service” is for the gentlemen, and I’m going to let you into the secret now… Inside every Arc Carwash you’ll see an advertisement for… Read more →

So I guess that was a pretty good weekend. Aside from the idiot who decided to plonk two hUuuuUUuuuUuuGgggGGEE wide-loads on the M6 at 5.30pm on a Friday. Clever. They took up two lanes, plus they were doing about 25mph, so everyone – trucks and lorries – were moving into the outside lane to get around them. Ever item of… Read more →

Today I will be mostly playing about with the streaming on UK1Music.com and checking the config files on the server. It sounds a bit dull, however we’ll be pumping out some absolute quality dance tunes all day and most probably all weekend whilst testing, so if you’re up for some background music while you browse, click here for our test… Read more →

I never thought I’d ever be daft enough to download Spyware or a trojan, but.. yes, it appears that I am actually that daft. This week the Smartphone news has been a tad slow – not a fat lot happening really. Perhaps everyone has started their summer holidays early ? Tssskk.. a bit of sunshine and everyone decides to take… Read more →

I was reading Pauls’ blog today. For those of you living in a cave for the past few years, Paul is the webmaster and head honcho of MoDacO.com, the Smartphone and Pocket PC super-forum. His recent post about washing his car with some Flash car cleaner reminded me that I should get mine cleaned.. and perhaps take more care of… Read more →

What an absolutely lovely sunny spring day it was here in the UK today. It was around 18-20 degrees C and people were enjoying a day in the sunshine. People were doing typical British things that always happen when the sun is out – cleaning their cars, mowing the lawn or cleaning their windows. Anything in fact that’d get them… Read more →
