This is 3 years old now and I’ve probably mentioned it before. The original 12″ is obviously much longer, but here’s the main radio edit for you to enjoy. I heard it in a mix on JemmOne recently and it still kicks ass. Yes I said ass. Here’s the longer version, which takes a bit longer to build but is… Read more →

So, I blogged about Cosmo recently. Put simply, we went, we had a poor experience, so I emailed them to complain. Their response was pretty long and detailed, and explained exactly what happened and why. They apologised, briefly, but most of their response detailed every event that occured in detail. They sent me some vouchers, but sadly they weren’t worth… Read more →

This is wrong on so many levels, but hey – here we go. A taped conversation between a train driver and a signal box.. err.. man.. Read more →

Hard to categorise this one but hilarious to watch the faces of peoplell listening to it once it gets going :) Read more →

For reasons I can’t explain, I put £35.35 worth of diesel into my car this morning. I was quite impressed. Well, I was as impressed as you can be at 7.15 on a windy filling station. Here in the UK you can either pay at the pump or walk inside after sticking your selected fuel in. I went inside and… Read more →

Our wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, companies are increasing the prices of everything above inflation. Rail fares are the latest to increase and I found this comment (pinched from the BBC News site) particularly true… This is Government thinking: We need to reduce car journeys : Increase fuel duty = less people in cars, more on the trains… Read more →

Obviously there’s a lot of anger about the ask.fm website at the moment. Rightfully so. A teenager recently hung herself after getting bullied on the site. Unfortunately the fix to this won’t happen, at least not quickly. Firstly there’s the big problem. Bad parenting producing kids who never learn about consequences. These kids can use the internet unmonitored, writing anything… Read more →

Oh my lord. This is excellent. I’ve just switched it on as one character said…. Have you ever accidentally masturbated to a young picture of your mother? Wowser… Read more →

I stumbled across this page whilst researching Sky TV for a story on Coolsmartphone. It’s surprising how stupid some people are. Of course, it would work. All you’d have to do is take the dish to Australia, point it at the ground, then move that little thing called “the Earth”… Read more →

Sky have just whack up the prices on their TV packages. If you’re a customer you’ll notice it increase from September 1st. Letters have been sent out which tell you how Sky are investing heavily in programming or some crap. I tell you why they’re putting the prices up shall I? Are you ready to find out why they need… Read more →

The Government want to censor the internet and it looks like they’re getting their way. However, YouTube continues to do whatever the shit they want. On the homepage is a link to the raw crash footage from the Spanish train disaster. I’m not logged in and, upon clicking, there’s no warnings (as there would be on the TV news) about… Read more →

So, with our lovely Government about to turn the firewalls up to 11 (and block 65 MILLION WEBSITES BY DEFAULT unless you opt out), this is going to be happening a lot more. Some firewallsa are cleverer than others, but the EE one is luckily fairly simple.. Step one, try to go to thepiratebay.se.. Oh no. We can’t get there.… Read more →

Yep, crime here in the UK is down despite the fact that we’ve got less police. The PM has jumped all over every TV channel to confidently state that the police can cut crime even with less staff. Errr….. Or, Mr Cameron, what it could be is that there’s less police to record crime.. perhaps? FFS! Read more →

The minimum pricing plan for alcohol was a big part of the Government campaign to make Britain a more healthier place. Now it seems like this plan is in the bin. As for making all those cigarette packets plain, well that’s now on hold. It’s all because the Government are coming under pressure from their mate’s in big business. Another… Read more →

…says a report written by some people who are deeply involved in catering. Dear me. How much worse can this get? Every day there’s a news story that seems to confirm how truly terrible our Government are. Who thought it ess a good idea to commission these people to do a report on school lunches? Idiotic.

I can’t embed this particular advert, but I must admit that this is one of my favourite ads at the moment. It’s for those “man crisps” from McCoys.. Love it :) Read more →
