To have your membership list leaked once is unfortunate. To have it leaked twice is just careless. And funny.

Tainted Love
October 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on Tainted Love · Life, Music
Synth Britannia on BBC Four the other day reminded me just how bloody good some things were in the British synth-pop explosion. Laurel and Hardy are also brilliant, so just how good would it be to combine the two? (hat tip: glinner) You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
All booked up

Quite recently I was worried that I was running out of things to read. Somehow that has turned into having a growing backlog of books waiting to be got through.
Death of Autotune
October 17th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Music, Technology
On his latest album, The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z has a track called Death of Autotune. Would that was true. I have been at a party, in fact I should still be there but I have slipped off home for an hour or two. The DJ has been playing a lot of modern music, which is […]

I mentioned my miracle mail to a colleague in Horsham today. She happened to know that the Secretary at Hrosham, whose house it was addressed to, was in Crawley the other day.  He probably dropped the letter off at my house while he was here; that seems far more likely than any other possibility. So […]

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 […]

Blind summit
October 16th, 2009 · Comments Off on Blind summit · Life
On the way to Effingham this afternoon we passed a road sign that warned of a ‘blind summit’. I take this to mean that when you are approaching it you can’t see things coming up the other side of the hill. Am I missing something? Isn’t that a characteristic of all hills?

Gross-out horror for the sake of it

Earlier this week I watched Staunton Hill on DVD. Or to use its official title “Cameron Romero’s Staunton Hill”.  I wasn’t too impressed, and was glad I got it free through Amazon’s Vine programme and didn’t part with money for it. Cameron Romero is the son of the legendary George A. Romero, who gives it […]
