The Daily Mail website has a story about ‘Osborne’s plans to hit workshy’. Scroll down to the bottom and there is this remarkable image. Not the first time I have looked at the DM website and felt like clawing my eyes out, and it won’t be the last I am sure.

Love bomb

President Ahmadinejad has unveiled Iran’s new weapon: a UAV which can carry 500 pounds of bomb and drop it 620 miles away. He says that ‘the key message is friendship’. So its a friendly 500-pound bomb?  He also said: This jet is a messenger of honour and human generosity and a saviour of mankind, before […]
Outbreaks of perversity

A couple of news stories today that caught my eye. First of all from the Telegraph: Transvestite had sex with a dog at English Heritage castle and then closer to home there is the Lewes knob-poster. Just a couple of comments and observations to make.

A glitch in the matrix
June 15th, 2010 · Comments Off on A glitch in the matrix · Music, Technology
According to Spotify’s ‘related artists’ feature, “users who listen to Nightwish also listen to… “ Within Temptation, Disturbed, Iron Maiden, Linkin Park, Rammstein, Bullet for my Valentine, System of a Down and… um…  Enya. They are not wrong though. I saw the name and thought, yeah. Haven’t heard any Enya for years, let’s have a […]
Only two weeks to go

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
March 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off on Golden Brown – with a touch of grey · Music
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 […]
Pointless, unproductive and fun

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
February 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off on Now that’s what I call a health warning · Life
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 […]
