Cup Of Coffee

Being at a wedding recently and seeing the resulting photographs has given me a new appreciation of good photograpy. Whilst this isn’t anything like a wedding, these military gallery of explosions, guns, aircraft and ships in action is stunning.

I just had to blog about this Dilbert strip. I think it pretty much sums up what’s happening in the economy today :( Read more →

Who wouldn’t want this eh? Put your 32″ LCD TV away because this knocks it out of the park. It’s a house in Los Angeles called the “Skyline Residence” and has it’s own outdoor cinema screen. Just sit on your outdoor sofa and pick up the remote! Link – kostasvoyatzis.wordpress.com Read more →

This site is all about the very latest and advanced mobile phones available, however we rarely think about the network infrastructure behind the magic. This mast / cell tower / transmitter (whatever you want to call it) recently appeared a few miles from where we live. Sure, the infamous “flat spot” of network coverage has now been sorted, but on… Read more →

So, here’s what you can buy in Selfidges. A huge cactus – about 5 foot high, complete with bow… just 450 quid. Yes, 450.. and it’s a huge pointy object… Mental… Read more →

Having a small child means I’m watching a lot of kids shows at the minute. The amount of double-entendres is crazy. In one of the many shows this appeared.. I really don’t know what to think, so I thought I’d send it to you guys.. :) Link – flickr.com Read more →

I’ve not watched much of this programme but several people have advised me to check out the YouTube video of last nights’ “Dancing On Ice” on ITV1. I missed this completely, but I’ve got to give it to Todd (who used to be in Eastenders) for giving the whole ice-skating thing a go. I’m absolutely rubbish at it and would… Read more →

You’ve got to give to Richard Branson, he knows how to do stuff. I met him once on one of his planes. Top fella. Anyhow, we’re now living in a world of political correctness and most people are too afraid to say anything even slightly radical. A TV ad for Virgin Atlantic here in the UK is usually a glossy… Read more →

Last night we went to see Transporter 3. It was a film I’d be wanting to watch after enjoying the spectacular first movie and passable follow-up. I was a little worried about whether it was any good because things were getting a little “silly” in Transporter 2 – like when Jason Statham drives his car off a multi-storey car park,… Read more →

When you have a small child sleep becomes an extremely sought-after commodity. After having three days of the winter vomiting bug and then starting a nice bout of man flu (with coughing and everything) I was having a nice bit of sleep. It was 2.30 AM and I woke up.. I knew something had woke me up and I presumed… Read more →

A few things baffle me about this news report. The introduction of speed limiters into cars with satellite technology on-board means that your speed will be adjusted automatically to ensure that you’re within the limit for the road. Great yes? Well, put it this way, if the reporter had a dirty great truck behind him whilst testing the system I… Read more →

Yesterday I blogged about the cardboard mountain outside our house which was caused by the Christmas toys. I don’t currently have time to take it all to the recycling centre, so I put the huge pile of cardboard on the end of our drive and hoped for the best. Strictly speaking the bin men could ignore it because it’s not… Read more →

This year was Billys’ first Christmas and we had a lot of toys. You may or may not be aware that most childrens toys are strapped into boxes with lots of cable ties, screws and wires. It takes long enough to remove all this stuff and actually get the toy out but the cardboard that remains uses up more space… Read more →

Agghhhh !!! Get out of my head ! This video may confuse at first, but the next time you heard the Rockafeller Skank you’ll be singing this … Link – Check it out now, the … Read more →

It’s a real shame that some of our most famous brands are now becoming victims of the global credit crisis. Woolies have so quickly slipped into the abyss that it’s shocking. Victims of increasing competition and internet shopping, they’re even starting to sell the fixtures and fittings – shelves, filing cabinets, office chairs and even the lockers that the staff… Read more →

I’m becoming aware that every few weeks I pimp the hell out of The Daily Mash but it’s just utterly brilliant. This story about the bail-out of the British car industry (Is there one? Really?) is bang on the money, and is especially funny for me as I drove into the back of a Range Rover Sport recently.. :) Read more →

I spotted this tap in some public toilets (I forget where) and decided it was worth a blog post. This is one particularly happy tap :) Read more →

I was lucky enough to be in Seattle recently. The radio and music is very different in the USA and I searched through the local stations with the radio in the hotel. Most stations were talk shows, traffic news and endless amounts of adverts, however C89.5 was a blast of fresh air. The music was just… brilliant. Proper dance tunes,… Read more →

It was certainly interesting to hear about a shoe being thrown at US President Bush. Firstly I was amazed that it wasn’t an American citizen that had done it, secondly I was pretty shocked at the accuracy of the shoe-thrower. The Iraqi reporter apparently shouted something about Bush being a dog, then chucked his shoes at the President. This event… Read more →

It’s not often I see a low-tech phone, however this is the Doro HandleEasy 326. We’ve mentioned it before and now there’s one in my hand. It’s not just for senior citizens – I was perhaps wrong when I said that earlier. This is also ideal for people with sight problems and the large buttons make it easy to dial… Read more →

I’m going to buy a big gun and have it mounted on my bonnet. That’s it, I’ve decided. Want to know why ? Well, my journey to work this morning took twice the time mainly due to idiots. It snowed a bit last night. Not much, hardly anything to worry about. The main roads were clear and everything was moving,… Read more →

Perhaps it’s just me having a mind permanently stuck in the gutter, I dunno. This is an advert that popped onto one of the many childrens TV channels on Sky. It’s for a toy called “Helmet Heroes”. Damn.. So many crude jokes.. So little time.. Link – FlickR Read more →
