Cup Of Coffee

OK, so tonight we’re watching the Victoria Beckham thing. It’s all about their move to America following Davids’ move to LA Galaxy. According to the introduction the programme “looks at Victoria as she prepares for David and the children to arrive”. Well, what can I say? Victoria… stay there, please. Don’t come back. I’ve never seen such a stuck up,… Read more →

The whole iPhone thing can be both good and bad at the same time. I think there’s a lot that Windows Mobile can take from the iPhone user experience and features included as part of the standard build, however it’s not good that the iPhone doesn’t allow third-party software. These two videos are particularly good. Firstly it’s an iPhone commercial…… Read more →

Following the rather unfortunate incident with a pothole and my sudden need to get yet more tyres, I must give a plug to the guys at Burntwood Tyres. They’re based literally 500 yards from our house so they’re very convenient, especially when you’ve got two flat tyres on the left side of your car and can’t go very far! Not… Read more →

This news story actually appeared last year but has bounced back onto the internet thanks to reddit.com. The study reveals that America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies. Brits seem to think that George Bush is more dangerous than Kim Jong-il… It’s not so much the story that’s interesting, but rather… Read more →

This was robbed from b3ta.com. I’m not entirely sure why, but it made me laugh like a loon. :) Link – b3ta.com Read more →

Oh dear. Just a week after gettin two new rear tyres for the car (a rear wheel drive like mine seems to eat rubber), Emily went over a pothole and burst not one… But BOTH the front left and rear left tyres! The rear left one was brand new – I paid 100 quid for it last week and now… Read more →

We went to Brownhills again this weekend and ended up walking around the infamous Brownhills Market. It’s still the same as it’s ever been, despite several checks by Police and Councillors there’s still more illegal stuff than ever being sold in Brownhills Market. We found knock-off clothing, second-hand shoes (some with socks still in them) and, yes, the guys selling… Read more →

AGH! I just can’t get away from that damned iPhone! Every part of me says, “No, don’t mention it again”, so from now on I’m going to call it “that black fruit-based phone”. I have to show you guys this daft woman who obviously has a lot more money than sense. Armed with stacks of cash she buys the first… Read more →

Here in the UK it’s been raining none-stop for what seems like four months. There’s floods, floods and yet more floods. Everyone is flippin’ miserable and we’ll no doubt be running around in shorts the minute the sun pops its’ little head out. So, I give you this video. A lot of roads have been flooded and you’ve already seen… Read more →

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! :) Link – Christijan Albers drives off too soon Read more →

Fancy a new job? How about being a condom tester?. Durex are after 200 couples to test these… I’m not sure whether you’ll be able to get any money back if a test doesn’t go exactly as planned though… :) Durex are serious about the tests, but they can see the funny side. Durex marketing manager Sam White said…. “With… Read more →

Oh dear. The New York Times ran a story a couple of years ago about the scientific knowledge of Americans. Over the last three decades surveys have been conducted to track attitudes toward science across the world and Dr. Miller, who conducted this particular survey, is famed for his deep knowledge and excellent track record. The results of the survey… Read more →

I don’t know about you, but I really hate getting disturbed at home. I’m talking about those door-to-door sales people or the cold-callers trying to sell you crap. We’ve signed up to a couple of privacy databases and now we never get nuisance phone calls. We’ve also got one of those stickers on the door that says, “No door-to-door sales”.… Read more →

This morning I had an accident in the car. I went head on into one of those new Skodas’. It was a right mess – jam, sponge, jelly…. everywhere. If you don’t know what that’s in reference to, have a look at this. Read more →

This is Michael K Brandow, a lawyer from Chicago. He’s got more than 16 years experience and works for Brady, Connolly & Masuda. Someone should tell him that, perhaps, his photo isn’t the best in the world. He looks like he’s either … a) On the toilet b) Just been kicked in the privates c) Accidentally shot himself in the… Read more →

Yes, it’s gone – the site that everyone in the record industry wanted to close down is, finally, closed. Err.. except, it’s not… not really. It’s just back with a new name :) allofmp3.com sells MP3s – plain, normal, ordinary MP3’s without copy protection – for a LOT less than you’d expect to elsewhere. Albums, tracks and more were available… Read more →

I’ve tried not to blog about this purely because the people doing it aren’t worth any kind of publicity, however this afternoon a green cherokee jeep was driven into Glasgow airport and set alight. The individuals inside were captured and nobody was injured. This, of course, follows two foiled car bombs in London yesterday. The stupidity of these individuals is… Read more →

OK, OK, I said I wouldn’t mention it any more but I’ve had a few emails asking to see the video of me in “action” at Daytona. If you’ve not read the previous blogs about this (here, here and here), then you should try it. Many people go to Florida each year and no doubt they’ll take their children to… Read more →

A few miles up the road from here is a town called Cannock. You may not have heard of it, but it’s an old mining town which has now become famous across the internet due to amount of chavs living there (seriously, check ChavTowns.co.uk and other sites). Now, if you’re not entirely sure what a chav is, it’s worth looking… Read more →

I guess I’m showing my age here, but here’s a programme that I vaguely remember from my childhood. It’s not so much the lady in the builders hat, but the weirdly big computer behind her and perhaps the daft little car too. The programme is Chockablock, and I don’t even want to mention what year it was broadcast! Here’s another… Read more →

I rarely blog about political issues, but today Tony Blair steps down as Prime Minister. In his place comes Gordon Brown. Now, I’ll have to apologise for being so utterly shallow, but I’m not a big fan of Gordon Brown. My reasons are as ridiculous and nonsensical as ever but I’ll try my best to explain .. Before Tony Blair… Read more →
