Want an iPhone for Christmas but can’t really afford the huge monthly charges? Well here is something that is a lot cheaper and yet still reassuringly overpriced for what it actually is while being strangely desirable despite everything. Easier to use than a real iPhone as well!

Jayne and I hit the town in Horsham tonight: an Italian meal, followed by a walk down to the Queens Head to see Covered playing. We did that because Damian (AKA Pootergeek) sings with the band. He keeps inviting me to come along to shows, but previously they have all been down on the coast.

This is Bob Dylan’s new one – a Christmas song. I hated it within two seconds, but then it started growing on me and by the end I thought it was brilliant and the best Christmas song since the Pogues. Is it Christmassy though? Sounds like the music from a Jewish wedding to me.
Unfortunately it [...]

Saw this advert on Flickr and was immediately drawn to the bit about the posters being fade resistant for 200 years.
I know that you can do all sorts of things with science that are well beyond my understanding so maybe you can prove that somethng will last 200 years but on the other hand… its [...]
If Spotify didn’t exist then Spotinews wouldn’t exist. If Spotinews didn’t exist then I would probably never have heard of Shpongle nor got to hear their new album – Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland – and my life would be the poorer for it.
It is like an ethnically-tinged version of Ozric Tentacles!

Got back from another quick trip to France tonight. There were a couple of meetings today, but the first was at 10:00 so I went out yesterday.
Back in the old days I could have done it all in a day – when you could still fly from Gatwick to Orly and could turn up at [...]

You know what? I reckon even I could get a job as a police artist in Bolivia. Love the way they keep zooming in on the picture to try and make it scary…

I will be amazed if I have not already mentioned here how partial I am to drums. Not so much drum solos (though I am quite fond of them) but bands who have several drummers or percussionists in their line-up. Imagine then, how chuffed I was seeing the Decemberists on Later last week with most [...]
Sites like this are the icing on the cake of the internet, providing a respite from the doom and gloom elsewhere in my Google Reader feesd. Best followed in conjunction with Glum Councillors.

This is not the best blog in the world; its a tribute | Hosted by AN Hosting of 223 West Jackson Street, Suite 1014, Chicago, IL 60606
Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the other cat, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not AN Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...
...and the same goes for anything the sister writes here, not that she is writing much: come on Jane - pull your finger out!
