Cup Of Coffee

The all-new Knight Rider is just around the corner. Here in the UK I’m guessing one of the billions of channels will pick it up, but here’s a 30-second trailer for the new show. For some reason Kitt sounds like Optimus Prime (Transformers reference) and the car has suddenly become huge, ugly and crap. Shame :( Apparently the Hoff is… Read more →

Let’s hope they don’t completely ruin it like they did with the Cobalt platform (which they bought for about $2 Billion and then ditched) eh? Expect to start paying a wad of cash for the ever-excellent MySQL sometime soon. :( Link – sun.com Read more →

I want to keep this story fairly generic because I’ve probably annoyed a few people. Last night I came home from work, as I normally do, and – yet again – the son of my next-door neighbour had parked his huge old car outside our house. Emily had parked her car on the drive, so I had no-where to park… Read more →

Here’s some interesting foreign tuna in a tin.. :) Sorry, I just had to.. :) Read more →

You’ll have noticed a few changes in the look and feel of our site of late. We did this over the Christmas break and there may be some additional changes through 2008 which we’ll be getting your opinion on. I’ve noticed a few other Windows Mobile websites doing changes too, with some even passing comment on how our site looks.… Read more →

I’ll be honest here – I’ve absolutely no idea what’s happening in America right now. The voting, election system and all this winning of States etc etc makes no sense and, if it’s anything like last time, the guy with the most votes will probably not win anyway. However, I found this story written by Jimmy Carter, who’s explained who… Read more →

We watched a couple of films this weekend. The Bourne Ultimatum and Die Hard 4.0. I decided to do a review of both films. – The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) – Fantastic, gripping, gritty, thrilling. – Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard) 2007 – Utterly crap. Now, if you’re going to watch any of the Die Hard movies you… Read more →

Aussie car show “Summernats” has got itself into trouble after crowds of drunk blokes surrounded the “car girls” and demanded they flash their boobs. ….over to the Austrialian Daily Telegraph for the pictures… I love this particular pic, I think it sums the Aussies up perfectly. :) Link and picture credit – Daily Telegraph Read more →

Far be it for me to comment on the inner workings of the police in Los Angeles, but I’m still not sure why one woman needs 6 police cars, an ambulance and a fire engine. It’s early days at the moment, and there’s rumours that Britney was under the influence of something. She’s apparently being taken to have “mental evaluations”… Read more →

Another YouTube video, another news item. These lads filmed themselves at 134mph on a motorway near Liverpool and now the cops are looking for them. They made several errors… 1) Don’t film yourselves doing it, because if someone gets the footage, you’re in trouble. 2) Don’t put the footage on YouTube. Unfortunately there’s far more videos of people speeding on… Read more →

First up I’ve got to apologise. I’ve been looking at my recent blog posts and there’s a lot of moaning and whinging. It’s all very negative and certainly something I’m going to avoid in 2008. But then… …this story appeared…. perhaps it’s just me, but if I had a chip-pan fire and used my manky, stained, fat-lady pants to put… Read more →

We’ve now been online for just over 5 years and, with 2008 about to begin, I’ve been looking at the stats. We’re now getting over 27 million hits per month with almost a million unique visitors. Strangely though, our top 20 search hits come from the following… Yup, Gemma Atkinson did get mentioned quite a bit here, although why people… Read more →

A few weeks ago I had to take some time off after getting a serious bout of man-flu.. no, really – it was bad! For those of you who aren’t aware just how bad man-flu is, have a look at this video. Link – glumbert.com Read more →

Now, a word of warning on the links below. They may include a bit of f’ing and jeffing. However, they’re well worth a click. I’ve only just got into the DailyMash website but it rocks – very funny satire and commentary on the events of today. Top stuff. :) Those of you in the UK will already be aware of… Read more →

Shops usually use some pretty weird tricks to entice you in. They may reduce one item quite heavily or have one really big offer to get you in the doors. However, this advertising banner at the local BP petrol station confused me. Why would a multi-coloured foam make me want to use the car wash? Will it clean my car… Read more →

Last night I was on the way home after being forced into doing 6 whole hours of work. ;) The M6, which was fairly empty at 9.30 in the morning, was packed with nutters doing the “brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate”-driving style. After a short while the motorway ground to a complete halt due to the amount of people… Read more →

This morning on the radio the DJ was speaking to a lady driving to work. She’s on her way to the House of Fraser and it’s her second day back after the Christmas holidays… “Boxing Day was mental”, she says, “people were queueing before 8am and we didn’t even open until 9.30am” Then, on GMTV could be seen FIGHTING as… Read more →

(Commence rant) What the cock has happened to McDonalds in recent years? See, I used to visit McDonalds quite often when I was a young pup. At college and during my nightclubbing days I’d perhaps nip in for lunch, then we’d stumble into the local Maccies for 3AM beer food after visiting the local club or bar. Now I don’t… Read more →

Gemma Atkinson tends to keep popping up on this site. Believe me, if you stick “gemma atkinson site:coolsmartphone.com” into Google you’ll get a fair amount of results. She’s just come back from her appearance in reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity…” and she’s trying to keep her profile high by… launching a range of bras. Oh joy.. Now, the following… Read more →

As someone who used to dance around like a music like this (oh, who am I kdding, I still do), I have to post this video….. One guy, one drum-kit. He’s banging the hell outta those drums and there’s no electrical equipment in sight. Top stuff :) Oh, and smoking is bad – mmm-kay? But I did like the fact… Read more →

That’s it, you can’t deny it any more. There’s UFO’s and aliens everywhere. Look, the Russians found one… Read more →

Woha!!! Look what’s about to return to our screens! Yes, it’s Knight Rider. The mighty Hoff is sadly not part of it any longer though. A lot of my childhood was probably spent watching the original series, with the infamous talking car (KITT) and Michael Knight talking into his watch. The Wikipedia page is surprisingly detailed – the original series… Read more →
