Yes it is only two weeks until the big wobbly sausage! If that makes it sound like I am losing my marbles a bit, I refer you to this story in the Telegraph, specifically the end bit.

Subheadline of the week
March 18th, 2010 · Comments Off on Subheadline of the week · Life
I can’t find any way to read this story from The Register without my mind boggling. The headline is eye-catching enough (Florida woman prangs car while shaving her privates) but the subheadline is pure genius.
Golden Brown – with a touch of grey

Apparently the Stranglers will be playing at Glastonbury this year. I was astonished to learn today that their drummer, Jet Black, is 71. No wonder they decided to pack in touring. I know it is a job you can do sitting down, but I still think it requires a lot of energy to play the […]

If you saw a link on a website that pointed to http://5z8.info/cats-being-dropped-into-the-sea_p6d8l_hot-older-goats.mov I bet you would think twice before following it – and then decide not to. If you received an email with a link to http://5z8.info/olive-loaf-penetration.gif_u0p8z_ninjastaroutlet it would probably get stopped by your mail filters and marked as spam or potential malware. But you […]
Now that’s what I call a health warning

Did everybody see the story about the bloke in Indonesia who was smoking a cigarette when it exploded and blew six of his teeth out? A couple of things to note: He got compensation of £335 (plus medical expenses). Doesn’t sound a lot for what must have been a pretty traumatic experience. The brand he […]

National TV Awards
January 22nd, 2010 · Comments Off on National TV Awards · Life
I caught something on the news this morning about the National TV Awards which really summed up for me the atrocious state of British TV at the moment: X Factor won the award for best most popular TV talent show, which implies there are now so many of the damn things it is worth having […]
iPhone alternative

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!

Hat tip to Angry people in local papers 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… You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
Postal miracle

I received a letter today and I have no idea how it got to the right house.   The address on it was my name but the address of the secretary of Horsham Labour Party – yet it was delivered to my house. In the past if anything has gone to Ray’s address he has either […]

Run that by me again
October 11th, 2009 · Comments Off on Run that by me again · Politics
At work we have TV screens in various public areas like in the canteen and the lobby area outside the lifts. The screens display a slideshow of company information, but also have a scrolling RSS feed of the latest BBC news headlines. On Friday one of the headlines was “French ‘boy sex’ minister issues denial” […]
