In this month’s Vine program from Amazon I was fortunate enough to get hold of an electronic picture frame for review.  When I was looking to buy a similar frame for Jayne last year I did look at the Philips ones but they were just a bit too expensive compared to the Kodak I eventually […]

The dark side of Doctor Who?
November 21st, 2009 · Comments Off on The dark side of Doctor Who? · Life
I saw this on Monday on the Guardian’s twitter feed, totally misread it and then went to all the trouble of making a screen capture and forgot to do anything with it. Here it is, better late than never…
Campaigning on affordable housing

I was out in Horsham’s Carfax again this afternoon with colleagues from Horsham Labour Party to try and persuade shoppers to sign our petition about affordable housing.
Them Crooked Vultures
November 21st, 2009 · Comments Off on Them Crooked Vultures · Music
The self-titled debut album from Them Crooked Vultures appeared on Spotify this week. I had been looking forward to hearing it and I wasn’t disappointed. Unsurprisingly, a lot of it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age. In fact if I had heard it in a sort of ‘blind-tasting’ I would have guessed it to […]
Cheap Janet Jackson rip-off
November 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on Cheap Janet Jackson rip-off · Music
I turned on the TV to have a little distraction while I sat down with a cup of tea and some cream crackers with Laughing Cow spread on them, ((serving suggestion))Â and was immediately presented with the BBC’s Children In Need concert from the Albert Hall just as Cheryl Cole was being introduced.

Plausible spam
November 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on Plausible spam · Life
I have been having a few comments here that turn up in the spam queue for my attention that have been extremely plausible.  Spam comments are normally very generic at their best, but more likely to be totally unrelated to the post they are on, and thus very easy to spot, but this new crop […]

I kissed a girl and I liked it

Never really thought much about Katy Perry. Heard a few of her songs and didn’t dislike them, but never really had an opinion about her. Until now. I have now decided that she is brilliant. I wonder why…
Happy, happy, joy joy

Last night I was streaming a semi-random set of songs and relaxing while I listened to them and one particular song really stood out. I would say it cheered me up, but that implies I was depressed. Which I wasn’t. Let’s just say it brought a smile to my face. In amongst tracks by Neil […]

The Noughties by Tim Footman
November 18th, 2009 · Comments Off on The Noughties by Tim Footman · Life
I have just finished the last book in my supply of freebies from Amazon’s Vine programme. It is a history of the decade 2000-2009 called The Noughties by Tim Footman. Like somebody hearing a World Trade Centre joke on September 12th 2001, my first reaction on seeing it was “too soon” so I approached it […]
Spizzifying Spotify
November 17th, 2009 · Comments Off on Spizzifying Spotify · Music
I just found a single Spizz track on Spotify and it is a bit of a surprise one. I have all the Spizz singles (somewhere) from the first Spizz Oil 7-incher through to the Spizzles, plus the Spizzenergi:2 single ‘Work’. I have both the A&M albums and all the compilation CDs that were officially released […]
