Campaign against road pricing here!

I never normally forward these chain email thingies – especially those “forward this message of good fortune to 5 friends and you will be rewarded with good luck for years on end” cobblers, however this one is definitely worth forwarding. It’s a petition to the Prime Minister to scrap the planned vehicle tracking and road pricing policy. Strictly speaking it’s… Read more →

Why I love Sky+

What a day. I’ve been quite mobile today, dashing about from one place to another. It’s good, though, so good, to be able to come home and plonk myself in front of TV. I’ve been watching some blogs about all this Windows Media Center mularky – I’ve tried it myself, but … sorry my Sky Plus wins every time. I… Read more →

Shock! Naked bits in TV ad!

I used to love watching Camberwick Green as a kid. This and Trumpton stick in my mind along with the whole “Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb” stuff. Classic!

I’m not quite sure why they’ve gone to all the time and trouble of making it look like a tree, because it’s in the middle of a… Read more →

Can I run a car website instead?

Next week marks the start of CES – a trade show featuring all the latest technology and consumer gear. It’ll no doubt feature some pretty interesting announcements in the Windows Mobile world. Sometimes though, just sometimes, I wish I could run a website about cars. Sure, we get to play with some of the latest mobile phones and talk with… Read more →

Menu tweaks

As you can see I’ve been twiddling around with the menu system on the left side of the page. I did this mainly because it was previously a bit messy, but I’d like to know of your opinions now I’ve changed it. Should I leave all the “News”, “Interact” etc stuff in or not ? What d’ya think ? Let… Read more →
