57 (hundred) channels and nothing on.

Thousands of channels. Access to catch-up services like Demand 5, ITV Player and so on. On-demand movies. On-demand programmes. ABSOLUTELY F*** ALL ON. Seriously, this is poor. TV at the moment is a mess of barrell-scraping reality crap, cheap soaps, repeats and low-grade documentaries. Read more →

More big companies dodge tax payments

Yet more proof that large companies, banks, celebs and big-earners are dodging tax here in the UK. Today it’s been revealed that eBay have paid just £1.2 million in corporation tax, even though they generated an £800 million turn-over. Like Starbucks, they’ve avoided paying tax by shifting money around. Starbucks hasn’t paid any tax at all here in the UK… Read more →

Social media advertising is essential

Richard Neill (whether he’s real or not I’m not quite sure) posted this rather epic rant about how the “fun images” of girls roller skating and rocking climbing was a little misleading, and the actualy time when a lady is on her period is actually very different. I’m not sure if the original post is real – especially as this… Read more →

That new Robbie Williams track is bobbins

I can’t listen to “Candy” by Robbie Williams any more. Not the original version at least, because this remix has been played endlessly in our house for about two weeks now. It’s by Max Sanna & Steve Pitron and is utterly brilliant… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssTFxFUC1uY Oh, and here’s the same thing, but with the added video and massive Samsung Galaxy SIII product… Read more →

Cookie pop-ups

I’m going to hunt down the stupid MP / committee / group responsible for forcing these random, varying, annoying cookie pop-ups on websites across the EU, then I’m going to smack them square in the face. I’ve removed all the warnings on our sites and I doubt that anything will ever happen. They’re nothing more than stupid and ill thought-out.… Read more →

Woah, close call..

Watch the guy in this video as Petter Solberg crashes out during the Rally de France on Saturday. He eventually hits a pole which brings down power lines. Just watch the guy underneath the pole – he calmly moves a vine out of the way and carries on – somehow he hasn’t realised that he’s just avoided a few thousand… Read more →

Watch out, I’m going to get political

I don’t often blog about politics. Vote for whoever you want, don’t listen to me. However, I’m completely losing faith with any of our major political parties. Firstly we have the Liberal Democrats. They promised something during the elections, then did the exact opposite. At the next election I’m not sure how they’re supposed to differentiate themselves from the Conservatives.… Read more →

Bus Advert

You’ve heard of Mega Bus. Perhaps they should advertise their services like this Danish bus company called “Midttrafik”. If you stick the subtitles on (look for “CC”) it’ll make a bit more sense.. Epic.. Read more →

I’ve just told my son all about Star Fleet

This goes way back to the very early 1980’s. It was call “X Bomber” but here in the UK got known as “Star Fleet” with Brian May (he of Queen) releasing an album dedicated to it. The opening titles are epic. This was a fantastic programme (I’m going to put my fingers in my ears so that I can’t hear… Read more →

Broken down Porsche

We got held up this afternoon by a broken-down Porsche. That in itself should be enough to raise a small but smug smile on the faces of many, but as we drew closer I noticed that the bonnet was up… Anyone notice the problem with that? Trying to fix your broken-down car by popping the bonnet? On a rear-engined <… Read more →

Local newspaper fail

Where do we start with this photo? I mean really? The photographer must’ve turned up pissed. Sure, he’s got a nice shot of the ground, but what’s going on with the dogs? They’re bored, they’re walking off somewhere to the right.. Meanwhile, the girl on the right has her face obscured by one of the torches and.. hang on. What… Read more →
