One good thing I did see in Waterlooville was the sweet shop, which had these in the window.. I really can’t imagine somebody saying to their kids “if you eat all your greens I’ll let you suck some camel balls after dinner”.

Also not to be […]

My favourite Robin Williams line

August 12th, 2014 · Comments Off on My favourite Robin Williams line · Life, Politics

One reason why I like comedy is the way that a comedian can often manage to sum up a whole social issue in a one-liner that makes its point better than a politician could in an entire speech, and still make you laugh  When politicians try humour it is cringeworthy at best, but when comedians […]

All those adverts have one thing in common: they are trying to build up brand awareness and brand loyalty with the public. All the companies’ […]

Black boys – slight return

December 20th, 2011 · Comments Off on Black boys – slight return · Life

Some time back I wrote a little about the unfortunate mnemonic used to remember the colour codes for resistors, well now XKCD has come with an alternative. As it happens, I think their version is not very memorable, but I am greatly amused by their topical xmas mnemonic for remembering the order of the planets: […]

It’s your own time that you’re wasting

As ever, the ‘As if…’ website has the best perspective on Clegg’s time in charge of the country. Supply leader Nick Clegg fails to keep control as entire nation starts humming In a series of ‘Town Hall meetings’ Mr Clegg travelled the country pleading with people to ‘settle down’, ‘be quiet’, and to ‘get on […]

The wisdom of crowds…

July 7th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Politics

…of idiots? While Francis Maude has been busily rounding up government websites for the chop in order to save money, the government has been active in creating new ones to replace them.  Best of the bunch, just for the sheer entertainment value, has to be yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk.
