Last week I finished the Maf the Dog book, or to give it the full title: The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his friend Marilyn Monroe, which was another book I got through Amazon’s Vine programme.  I actually got it last year, at which time there was a bit of a […]

It took a while to get there, but I have just finished reading State of Emergency, The Way We Were: Britain 1970-1974 by Dominic Sandbrook. It is a real door-step of a book, about 5cm thick in hardback and I have started and finished reading several other books since I started this before Christmas, but […]

Last week I watched a film called Black. I knew nothing about it beforehand, but really enjoyed it. Plenty of action, and it didn’t outstay its welcome at all. Here is what I wrote about it on Amazon.

This evening I watched a film called Fanboys on DVD. This was another film I got through Amazon’s Vine programme, so the least I can do is link to their product page for it. The film is about a group of total Star Wars fanatics so keen to see the Phantom Menace that they decide […]

Well I have finished playing with the new Flip UltraHD which arrived from Amazon yesterday. For anybody interested, the full specs of all the different models are here. I was a bit frustrated that it didn’t arrive on Saturday so I could try it out at the CCAR party and a bit miffed that when […]

I recently finished reading Union Atlantic, a debut novel by Adam Haslett – another book from Amazon’s Vine programme. I was a bit underwhelmed by it.
The rainbow kettle
August 24th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Life
I had a bit of a result with the Amazon Vine programme this month.  When I got the list of products to choose from, there was a kettle on there. I had recently noticed that our kettle was dribbling a bit, which annoyed me somewhat, but not enough to go out and get a new […]
