Cup Of Coffee

Many weeks back I wrote a big blog post about a night out in Birmingham. For one reason or another I lost the original text and never actually posted it. However, I recently found a video on my phone from the night in question so I thought I’d re-write my original blog. We’d decided to go to Birmingham on a… Read more →

I’ve had a rather strange weekend. It ended last night with me getting a severe dose of man-flu, which I’m still suffering from this morning. Emily seems to think it’s just “a bit of a cough and a sore throat”, but only us men can know the real pain of full-blown man-flu. On Friday I watched “Road Wars” – a… Read more →

Ahh – this bloke was having such a good time too! Police eh? They spoil all the fun! :( Read more →

“Right then Dave, we’ve finished up here. Let’s go home” “Righto” “Bugger!” Read more →

This news story nearly made my eyes water. Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!!! If you’re in Liverpool and you meet a girl called Amanda Monti, STEER CLEAR!!!! Read more →

Hold on, let me get this right. Carling have come up with a new lager, called C2, that’s weaker than normal Carling? ARE THEY COCKING INSANE?!?!?!?!?! Carling is weak enough already! Adding water to it and calling it “C2” is NOT a good idea. Read more →

I’ve not really watched Formula 1 for years, but after the rise and rise of Lewis Hamilton I’m suddenly getting back into it. Tonight I watched the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis on ITV1. Wow, and I mean wow. That guy drives like there’s a missile following him around the track. He’s 22, he’s never driven on these American tracks… Read more →

Running a site like this can, at times, be a bit of a love / hate relationship. I rarely get chance to just browse. Y’know, a bit of floaty Googling, randonly looking at things out on the internet. Tonight I started looking at some old computer sites and found Commodore-Amiga-Retro.com. This really threw me back to my first few computers… Read more →

OK, OK, I know it’s another one of “those” shows where the public vote in and people get booted off and publicly humiliated, and yes, I know I’ve mentioned it before, but… little Connie Talbot is now in the final on Sunday (tomorrow). Sure, she’s six and people are partially voting purely because she’s cute, but she’s got an amazing… Read more →

A lot of the car shows on TV are currently trying to outclass each other. Fifth Gear and Top Gear are fighting it out and recently Fifth Gear tried to do more than 200mph on the German Autobahn. From what I remember, I don’t think they did it. However, car magazine AutoCar took the “oh my god” Bugatti Veyron onto… Read more →

That daft woman stuck in our local floods the other day seems to have got her fat backside plastered all over the internet since we posted it yesterday. But woah, I’ve found something else. You’ve got to admire the sheer willpower of this crazy lady, who spends a full 4 minutes trying to parallel-park in a street. The car is… Read more →

I promise not to mention this too much more, especially after my numerous blog posts, however I’ve just managed to get this scanned. Here’s me stood next to the Richard Petty car before I hopped into my Jimmie Johnson number 48 car. Again, if you’re planning to go to Florida any time soon, make sure you book up with the… Read more →

Here in the UK it’s absolutely throwing it down. There’s floods, closed roads and trapped cars. The TV crews are out in the raining to capture the moment, and I couldn’t help but laugh at the rather stupid woman who in this live broadcast from up the road in Sutton Coldfield. She… a) Drove her old Fiesta into a road… Read more →

I know I shouldn’t, but somehow I’m finding “Britains Got Talent” quite entertaining. For a kick off it’s only on for a week, which means it isn’t going to drag on for ages, plus the audience aren’t exactly holding back in their opinion. Here’s the ..ermmm.. “unique” Caroline Boyes. They let her into the semi-finals after she made the judges… Read more →

An American TV show called “Bridezillas” follows seemingly nice women as they plan their weddings. For some reason they decided to stick them in a wedding cake eating competition… with no cutlery … Whilst you have to give some of the girls credit for fitting such a lot in their mouths (ahem), I wonder how many of their future husbands… Read more →

I was watching one of the satellite channels last night (don’t ask me which one, I think it was E4 +2 and a half) and Father Ted was on. I’ve always enjoyed this show and will record or watch the endless repeats that are put on.. Here’s a clip I just found on Google video. It’s Father Jack in one… Read more →

Agh… No. I feel like It I’m being pulled in by some tractor beam. I know I shouldn’t watch it, I should be watching something more high-brow. A documentary perhaps, or a film… But no, instead I watched …… …Britains Got Talent… It’s more Read more →

I’ve got to type this quick before the story begins to bore me too much. Following my earlier blog post Paris Hilton is now back in prison again. After *bribing the local Sheriff to get her out under a completely faked “serious medical condition”, she’s now been ordered by the court to get back in jail and complete her sentence.… Read more →

….and she’s out! Yes, proving yet again the power of money and fame (and an apparent “sickness” she picked up), Paris Hilton is out of jail after a mere 3 days. Next time you’re drunk behind the wheel, or driving around when you’ve had your licence revoked, don’t worry – if you’re rich enough and dumb enough you’ll probably only… Read more →

This popped through the door this morning. If you ever have the misfortune to receive this letter, just bin it. Domain Registry of America / Registration Services Incorporated are known cowboys and will try to grab your domain and lock you into an agreement to renew it. Although the costs are fairly reasonable, they will no doubt ramp up the… Read more →

Here’s how much petrol I put into the car this morning. It’s a full tank – almost 60 litres and cost 58.60. This works out at around 16 gallons for 58.60, which is $116.85. That’s 3.66 per gallon, or $7.30 per gallon. Yes, it is expensive! When we were out in Florida a couple of weeks ago it was front-page… Read more →
