Another classic from the office today.. “He just said I should have a nice day. What am I ? American?” Read more →

No Sky TV. Nobody uses your website like this. Nobody smiles while looking at the hugely expensive TV packages. Oh, and we don’t lie down like that either. It knackers your arms up after a bit and you have to admit that it was a bad choice of position. ;) Read more →

I’m starting a new section today. It’s due to the very strange comments that go around the office and I’ll be tagging them under the “Dons World” category. Anything I hear in the office that sounds funny will be going here. Today we have this.. “I’ve been out with a Chinese girl once. The thing that put me off was… Read more →

Spam scanners do a really good job. Sometimes too good. You’ll find yourself sitting there thinking, “Hey, I’m sure I used to get loads of mail – I used to be so popular”, then you’ll kick yourself and remember that it was mostly junk. So, when a mail does slip through the net it’s usually one that someone has manually… Read more →

I’m a bit late to the party on this one (nearly a million views as I type), but this kid is 13 and peforms an pretty stunning version of “Paparazzi” for the crowd, who quickly become mesmerized. He’s done many more, which you can find here in his YouTube channel. I think this kid has got a bit career ahead… Read more →

Nagh… Vodafone. Stop it with these ads. You’re killing me. Oh. Pass the tissues… Read more →

Hmm.. who’s idea is this? The election results are to be beamed onto Big Ben “from 05.30 when the first results are announced.” Hmmm.. isn’t it kinda getting light at 5.30am ? No-one is gonna notice a laser show on Big Ben in the morning sun are they ? Oh, and if you read into it more you’ll see that… Read more →

Peter Kay said that he wouldn’t be doing any more of these, but I’m SO glad he’s changed his mind (I’m sure it wasn’t the cash) :) Here’s a preview of the new advert for John Smiths featuring Peter Kay. Love it! Link – JohnSmiths.co.uk Read more →

There’s an election coming up and, on Thursday, we’ll head to the polls to vote. However, I have a problem. I don’t know who to vote for. It’s not because I’m a floating voter, it’s because I’ve not had much information. Just days away from the election I’ve had two leaflets for local candidates. One was for the UK Independence… Read more →

Jon Stewart takes the piss out of the British election for five glorious minutes. Ahh.. ‘tis painfully true.. Link – http://bit.ly/dA5lbi Read more →

So, last night I had an idea. It’s not often that happens, so I held onto it and wrote it down. The leadership debate was on again. No laser shows this time (the Sky News one had a really cool laser show) but they all had a good ‘ole argument and Gordon Brown admitted that he’d been stupid. Anyhow. If… Read more →

Hmm.. How the heck did this Mercedes driver do this ? Well, I can’t really understand how, “Authorities in Tulsa, Oklahoma have been left baffled”. It’s pretty ruddy obvious. They’ve reversed too fast or been shunted somehow. It’s not like they’ve done some sort of James Bond-style leap from another building is it ? :) Link –BBC News Edit –… Read more →

..and the “Fail Award of 2010” goes to.. Mr Gordon Brown… A big round of applause please.. Oh dear.. Watch Gordon squirm.. Poor chap. Still, at least he’s got a couple of homes that the tax payer funded somewhere.. Doah ! DOAH ! D O A H !!! D O A H !!! Link – BBC News (With captions) Source… Read more →

This is perhaps one of the best shows on TV at the moment. It should be made into a film or something. Putting an Audi Quattro with Gene Hunt in a movie, them properly chucking it around corners and shooting bad guys. This is how all police should operate. In fact – don’t vote for anyone in the election unless… Read more →

I’d like to take a moment just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became a Prince of a town called Bel-Air to pimp my flickr.com gallery. It’s full of pictures uploaded direct from my phone(s). Here’s a few from this weekend. They’re sometimes funny, sometimes interesting. Firstly, this weekend we were in Trentham Gardens and I rather liked… Read more →

Robbed from the b3ta.com newsletter.. What would happen if those platform games were real.. Old paintings come to life.. Those fake accidents we see in crappy TV ads, all in one funky video.. Read more →

I’m a huge fan of The Daily Mash and today there’s another two stories that I’m going to unashamedly pimp. The first relates to Ryanair – the airline everyone loves to hate. They weren’t going to pay out for hotel costs for European passengers affected by the volcano dust, but now – after realising it’s actually illegal not to –… Read more →

Why is this ruddy woman in the news. Unless there’s a story about Jordan exploding then I don’t want to know. Apparently she got sick of waiting for a flight back from Egypt and instead chartered a private jet. To make the money up she offered to fly anyone else home too, at a price. Oh balls I’ve just talked… Read more →

I’m a little lost by this whole volcanic ash cloud thing. I’ve only caught bits of information but, from what I understand, some big-ass volcano has kicked off in Iceland and splatted loads of dust into the upper atmosphere which could get stuck in plane engines. This is obviously a bad thing, so the skies above the UK and beyond… Read more →

Speed cameras do have their place. A lot fail though, with many of the fixed cameras by my house being raced through by boy-racers who are well aware which ones have cameras in. Average speed cameras are in place on motorways now, but it’s mostly confined to the M25 and within road works. This works. Today news appeared about a… Read more →

Dear TalkTalk. Please go away. Stop sending flyers through my door. Stop sending letters through the post. Stop sending salesman to our door at 7PM to try and sell your broadband. I don’t want it. I’m already a customer of yours for our telephone service. Yes, I know it’s cheap and I get what I pay for. Your customer service… Read more →

So, you’re an Apple software engineer on a night out. You have the next iPhone in your pocket. No-one has seen it before so Apple have cleverly disguised it as an iPhone 3GS. You go to a bar. You get too drunk. You lose the phone.. http://gizmodo.com/5520438/how-apple-lost-the-next-iphone Weeks later, the phone turns up on gizmodo and it’s pictured .. lots..… Read more →
