What. The. Hell.

Not totally sure what’s going on here, but I love this advert and everything about it. I heartily endorse it. Please, PR people, send me lots of the stuff it advertises. Thanks… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpcO3WdrgsQ Read more →

Things to make you angry..

1.. We’re all getting taxed to heck and the current austerity measures are putting huge pressure on hard working people. 2.. Big companies are getting away with paying little or no tax. When the Government challenges them nothing is done because the loopholes are legal and, although not “fair”, completely OK to use. 3… MP’s, following the expenses scandal, have… Read more →

This evening

I’m in Cocoa Beach and, because we’re hungry and half-way through a journey, I stopped at Wendy’s. After ordering my food I noticed a lady come in who the staff seemed to know well. They appeared to groan when she appeared. Se asked me if I was in the “line” and then we ended up chatting about fairly dull details… Read more →

In the USA

Random thoughts from today. I spoke to a lovely lady from Georgia. She told me that she’d driven 7 hours to get here (Florida). She was the 24th person that I’ve spoken to over the years who has muttered those immortal words… “Oh my, I LOVE your accent.” She told me that she was from the South, which I knew… Read more →

The Motorhouse in Cannock is history

Well, that happened quickly. Back in February a number of staff lost their jobs at the company but the company continued to trade. Just a few days ago The Motorhouse were on Twitter encouraging people to pop in, but then just a few short hours later every single car had been removed (and believe me, there’s a lot of them). … Read more →

Are you a real man?

This. This will decide my friend. If you’re a real man the next minute will tingle the hairs on the back of your neck and will create sudden and deep urges in your loins. It will breathe life into areas of your body that you thought didn’t exist. It will make you sweat, it will make you want to hunt… Read more →

Microsoft will fix Windows 8 and make it even worse

Sigh. Here we go again. The world and his mother bang on the doors of Microsoft HQ.. they all state that they hate the new Windows 8 interface and want their Start Menu back. So Microsoft, yet again, ignore them and do something different. Back comes the Start button but, sadly, that’s all it is. Press it and you’re back… Read more →

Evening all, have a dollop of this

Wowser. Tired. What a week. The spring sprung for a whole day a few weeks back, now we’re in a windy and wet Bank Holiday. On the way home I flicked around various radio stations and stumbled across the utterly awful “Free Radio”. It was the all-request show, which is never good, because it means that overly-hyped-up people call in… Read more →

So, I got a CD…

So, I found this CD tucked under my windscreen wiper. I figured it was a new form of leafleting, and unfortunately my curiosity got the better of me and I opened the files on the CD. Don’t ask me why, but I did. After a few seconds you start to question the sanity of the people who are spending time… Read more →

Beat-boxing bird

Remember the original Levi advert with Mr Oizo? The first few adverts didn’t show the product or mention it. It was just the puppet bopping away to the tune for 30 seconds. It worked big time.. Now there’s another one, and I’ve no idea what it’s advertising … It is rather good though … http://youtu.be/QsAOVAUgw80 Read more →

The Pellatons

So, I’ve never heard of this group and, despite trying, couldn’t really find much on the t’interwebs about them apart from an old Facebook page. Anyhow, they’re actually very good indeed, and performed a lot of their own material which was actually better than some of the covers they performed. This track was particularly impressive and I quickly filmed it… Read more →

Boom!

This advert seems to have taken in a life of its own now. Other adverts have started using the word “Boom!” and now people seem to be saying it a lot more… http://youtu.be/pSLO1uwRFNE Read more →
