Agh… No. I feel like It I’m being pulled in by some tractor beam. I know I shouldn’t watch it, I should be watching something more high-brow. A documentary perhaps, or a film… But no, instead I watched …… …Britains Got Talent… It’s more Read more →

I’ve got to type this quick before the story begins to bore me too much. Following my earlier blog post Paris Hilton is now back in prison again. After *bribing the local Sheriff to get her out under a completely faked “serious medical condition”, she’s now been ordered by the court to get back in jail and complete her sentence.… Read more →

….and she’s out! Yes, proving yet again the power of money and fame (and an apparent “sickness” she picked up), Paris Hilton is out of jail after a mere 3 days. Next time you’re drunk behind the wheel, or driving around when you’ve had your licence revoked, don’t worry – if you’re rich enough and dumb enough you’ll probably only… Read more →

It’s sucked its’ last suck. This evening it started emitting a strange burning smell so we turned it off and checked the belt thingy at the bottom.… Read more →

I can’t help but imagine the conversation that took place between the British Olympic Association and the designers of the Olympic logo… British Olympic Association – “Hello, we’d like a logo for the Olympics please.” Designers – “Errr…. sure, what sort of design do you want?” British Olympic Association – “Well, according to the research we’ve done over the last… Read more →

Driving home this evening was just insane. There’d been a crash on the M6 at Junction 15 and somehow the driver had managed a head-on collision with ….. the crash barrier. Now that takes skill. After pulling away from the rubber-necking throng I noticed a people-carrier wedged firmly in my rear-view mirror. I mover over then he, and another three… Read more →
