Twitter becomes a powerful customer service tool.

Twitter surprises me at times. Just the other day I mentioned that I’d eaten loads of food and “felt a bit fat”. I then got loads of tweets tring to sell diet pills and crap. Today I posted this tweet which pointed to a BBC News story on the huge British Gas profits. Their profits are pretty shocking because they’ve… Read more →

An iPad offer for my followers

If you are interested in getting an iPad I can get hold of them through a contact. The numbers are limited and he has 10 iPads going for less than half price – it’s first come first served. He has already sold one (pic is attached so you can see what you are getting – they are from a cancelled… Read more →

Pizza advert boy..

We live in a small village so it was pretty hilarious to see some teenage lad wearing a rather large cardboard pizza box advertising the local pizza place. I took a snap, ‘cus I’m evil, but he was struggling somewhat because of the wind.. Look what happened as he walked up the hill.. Read more →

Walking pizza advert

I saw this kid walking through our village. He was wearing a rather large cardboard pizza box which advertised some local pizza place. It was very windy today. Look what happened as he struggled up the road… Read more →

Cars are ruddy expensive.

What the hell is happening to car insurance ? I’ve just had my renewal quote from Direct Line and it’s a massive £773.80. It’s gone up by more than £100 in a year. Sure, I had an accident some years back, but even if I remove that and do a quote on one of those irritating comparison websites I’ve only… Read more →

So, that didn’t go well then…

When was the old server due to be turned off? The middle of February. No problems, that gives me loads of time then. What ? You’re turning it off TODAY ? Crap. That means my poor cupofcoffee blog has gone, and all I’m left with is a very old backup from the middle of 2010. Oh well. It’s no great… Read more →

More Government web spending madness

Another bit of excellent Government spending. 6 Million quid for putting websites into search engines. The Department of Health spent £4.4m in “paid search” costs. The full story is here on the BBC. Hey BBC, if you want this story in Google I’ll get it done for half a million. Cool? Done. Read more →

An excellent car repair

I saw this errmm.. people carrier thing outside a restaurant today. I think it was one of those American thingies. Either way, it was a bit worse for wear. I loved the repair attempt that the owner had tried out. It’s literally bits of metal with screws into it. Best of all, most of the bodywork he’d screwed into was… Read more →

Another day, another load of links

Every now and then I spit out a stack of links to sites and pages that make me click “forward to”.  If you follow me on Twitter then you’ll probably have already seen them, but here they are again for convenience.. The UK “Cafe Culture” has failed (contains swearing) – TheDailyMash Sad gits with too much time on their hand… Read more →

The world has gone mad

Is it me or has the world gone insane today ? A 5 year-old boy walked into Lidl last year with his mom and was accused of stealing a bag of crisps by the cashier. He was held by the arm that, in a court case heard today.. “Amounted to false imprisonment and assault.” He and his mother won a… Read more →

This is a watch

On the left here is a watch. It’s a watch .. it’s not what you think it is. These are actually given out by the NHS, and they’re to show that you’re free from any STI’s. You even get some free pants to show that you’ve been tested. Read more →

Shitterton – You can’t stop the rock

Oh, the poor village of Shitterton. In recent years this sign has been pinched many times by people who find the name “amusing”. I can’t think why… Local residents have grown tired of the thefts, so they’ve paid for a huge rock and then etched the name into it. I’m guessing that it’s not going to stop the rascals blocking… Read more →

Bloke changes his name to Buzz Lightyear

I really don’t know where to start with this guy. He has a purple bucket on his head. For f***s sake. A purple bucket. Then he’s gone and changed his name to “Buzz Lightyear”. Just keep away from the local schools mate. You’re going to get some weird looks. Oh, and somehow this guy has got a girlfriend. If he… Read more →

Sky HD

We’ve had a standard Sky+ box for some time and have fed the picture through a DVD record which upscales the picture to HD. The results weren’t too bad, but recently I bit the bullet and upgraded to Sky HD with full 1080 output. The results? Well, I’ve got to say, I’m a little disappointed. The picture from Sky 1,… Read more →

Windows Mobile sites start the switch..

It’s interesting to see once Windows Mobile-only sites branching out to cover Android now. Coolsmartphone did the same last year, and recently added iPhone news. Now it looks like PocketNow are doing the same with WMPoweruser (which I’ll not link to as it’ll hurt your brain) also thinking about jumping ship. Interesting times indeed, but not good for Windows Mobile. Read more →
