Cup Of Coffee

Woha, this lady had a very lucky escape after falling in front of a train in Boston. It looks like she’d had quite a bit to drink and fell head-long in front of a “T”. Luckily some very quick-thinking passengers waved down the train and it stopped just short, saving her life. She then wobbled back onto the platform. Link… Read more →

Eekk! The greatest TV show on earth returns on November 15th ! It’s shifted back and hour to 9PM but the original British version of the programme will be on this Sunday for it’s 14th series. Unfortunately there’s only 7 episodes in this series, so soak it up! Link – BBC Top Gear Read more →

Gordon Murray is an ex-McLaren Formula One designer. He’s worked on the fastest, sleekest, most awe-inspiring cars in the world. Today he’s shown off his first ever electric car… errr…. Via – BBC News Read more →

Look what I saw on the way to work this morning… He was driving like a maniac too. It could’ve had something to do with me waving like a fool at the cameras :) I can’t wait for Google Maps to update!!! :) More (bigger) shots here, here and here. Read more →

I had to post this one :) After my last blog post perhaps Twitter isn’t so bad after all.. Read more →

Well, I think it is. Sure, I’ve got less time now than I used to (having children definitely does that), but I’m finding that if you post a Tweet then you generally “get off your chest” what you would’ve normally blogged about. My blogs have dried up recently, and I think it’s got a lot to do with it. I’m… Read more →

And in the news today, James May makes a house… a full size house.. out of lego. He’s trying to give it away though because Legoland won’t take it. Why not?! If you’ve got a big truck you can have it for free! However, I kinda got distracted by this other story involving Rosie Webster from Coronation Street. Can’t think… Read more →

Woaha. The dust storms in Sydney must be a very strange thing to experience, especially for children waking up to images like this. The red dust has been blown across the city by desert winds and has caused this red mist everywhere. Flights have been disrupted and people have started to wear face-masks. The pictures in particular are like something… Read more →

Weird. According to dnscoop.com this site is worth over $1 million ! Why, then, is my bank account so overdrawn ? If anyone has $1 million and wants to buy this site and keep me on board, do give me a shout, I could do with some money for the weekly shop… Read more →

Countdown is a TV show that launched Channel 4 some 75 years ago here in the UK. When it first came on we all naturally assumed that Channel 4 was going to be utter rubbish filled only with inane quiz shows and random muusic shows. Strangely the first ever programme – Countdown – is still going strong. This is a… Read more →

A while back the American supermarket chain “Walmart” took control of Asda. Since then your local Asda has got bigger and bigger, but in American Walmart stores they’ve got a new sport – spotting weird things and people, then snapping them. Photos are uploaded to PeopleOfWalmart.com where you can see them in all their .. err.. glory.. Here’s just one..… Read more →

OK guys, it’s the big Bank Holiday weekend. We’ve got to push sales hard. Let’s just go through the list .. Massive TV ad campaign? Check. Massive press campaign? Check. Web hosting with a reliable company? Errr.. Read more →

We get posts in the forum which point out unlock sites on a weekly basis. This one (unlocksearch.com) seems to be a bit dubioous. I tried a few models and every single one said it was “unlockable” for only 3.99. After a bit more faffing about I decided to make up model names and, lo and behold, it can unlock… Read more →

This blog post is probably just for those outside the UK as I’ve never seen the “infamous” IE8 adverts myself. The ads, which Microsoft are using in the US to pull people away from older browsers (and .. err.. Firefox) are pretty funn, although this particular one (below) does involve a fair amount of vomit. Just rest safe in the… Read more →

In the video below the pilot states “I apologise”. Yeah. I think perhaps you SHOULD have said “I apologise for being so utterly stupid that I nearly killed everyone and not spotting the bloody roof above me”. Other stupid comments in this video include the camera man saying, Read more →

I doubt that there’s a quick-fix to this type of spam. Spammers are quickly realising that they can sign up to Twitter, post a Tweet saying, “I’m a hot brunette, check out my site here…” and then start following as many people as possible. An email will then drop into your mailbox, telling you that you’re being followed … When… Read more →

This happened not far from where we live and it’s great to see both lads involved going down for murder. I’ve read about this in the local papers for the last few months. Michael Eccles simply went to the local shop by his house and got set upon by a drunk 16 year-old-lad and his 20-year-old mate. They kicked him… Read more →

Nice. After adding stacks of “longer than 10 minute” videos YouTube have now banned anyone, regardless of who they are, from uploading vids longer than 10 minutes. :( Read more →

Now, I don’t often get a Sunday newspaper. Not, at least, unless the local paperboy screws up. This week I spotted this in a magazine with the Daily Mail. This is a newspaper that I don’t really rate because it tends to rant on about how crap Britain is and how everyone living here is rubbish at everything. The magazine… Read more →

I know I shouldn’t diss the people who could end up helping you in an emergency, but these two ladies made me a little concerned. They’re both with the St Johns Ambulance and I’m not saying for a minute that they don’t do a good job, but… come on. What happens if someone needs help on the other side of… Read more →

Bugger. Twitter is completely busted now. Looks like I’ll just have to shout loudly in the office and tell everyone what I’m doing instead… Update – Ah, looks like a massive DOS attack. Read more →
