Cup Of Coffee

So you know all about my car accident yeah? Well, the New Year got off to a crackin start for me. Just a week ago I was bumping off a tree, slamming into a lampost and blowing airbags. A week later and I have an Astra with a mind of it’s own. There I was, pootling up the M6 when… Read more →

Boxing Day this year is going to be etched on my brain. Partially because I was up at 5AM taking Emily to the airport (her working on Boxing Day and the day after without coming back in between isn’t good fun), and partially because I’ve just hit a patch of black ice and slid off the road. Police were there… Read more →

I’ve today hit a very unexpected problem with incredibly bad timing. Me and my darling have booked a holiday for next week so we can spend some time together (working all year without a holiday is bad). However, with Christmas still a couple of weeks away (and presents to get), the cashpoint took great delight in telling me, “Available funds… Read more →

I’ve had a few emails from people saying, “Hey, when you go to Mobius (click here for the MSMobiles definition of what Mobius is) can you ask about the MPx / MPx220 / etc etc etc and get some pictures of the etc etc etc…” I’m not there unfortunately, however if you want to keep up to date with what’s… Read more →

The Band Aid single – y’know, the new one. Yes, we want to do our bit and give to charity, but do they know that the new version is a huge pile of arse ? This BandAidDilema site encourages you to go out and buy the single (therefore giving to charity), then smash it up in a variety of ways… Read more →

I’m gonna get a bit personal here. Me and my darling are engaged – we have been for quite a while – and now we’ve decided to finally set a date. Although, to set a date you have to get a Church and a Wedding Reception venue. Getting a venue is hard enough.. you have to think of a date… Read more →

Any tiny ounce of street cred I might have left will now be blown out of the water. See, last night I ended up watching Coronation Street. For those of you who aren’t aware, there’s a pretty big storyline going on at the moment. It features a lady called Maya, who got together with this dude called Dev. Anyways, he… Read more →

Tonight I’ve been force fed Conviction on BBC3, purely because the missus has the remote control. Anyhow, I’ve just been picking flies with this programme. Although it’s a flagship show for BBC3, it’s crippled by a tiny budget – there’s problems with it, such as invisible helicopters, car crashes that are never shown (‘cus it’d cost too much). The best… Read more →

You may have heard about the Firefox web browser. It’s had millions upon millions of downloads so far and is getting absolutely rave reviews. I downloaded it when it got it’s release on Tuesday, and I must confess – it’s damned good. Sure, sure, Internet Explorer still has an edge with some things because – since Netscape got a bit… Read more →

Weird request this, but I guess anyone who’s seen the most recent series of Little Britain on BBC3 will have seen the short sketch with this character (right) who sits in front of a computer and has no personality or common sense. She shrugs her shoulders when potential customers ask for a loan. After typing in their details she says,… Read more →

You know about these email scams yeah ? Basically, as a rule of thumb – NEVER EVER click on a link which asks for your bank / credit card details in an email. It’ll take you to a site or pop-up which has the REAL site graphics / content showing – but all your details go to some guy, who’s… Read more →

Podcast Podcast Podcast… what the hell is that eh? Well, it’s taking off big style. This is basically a recording – whether it be the latest news, music or general ramblings – encoded as MP3 you can copy it to your Smartphone and listen to it. A few Smartphone websites have taken this up. MSMobiles.com and Mobile Gadget News have… Read more →

So, you’re driving down the M4 when, to your horror, you see some nut-case driving directly TOWARDS you. Yep, he’s on the WRONG side of the motorway and he’s hurtling towards you in the heavy rain! AGH! What do you do?! Take action, move out the way?! Flash your lights? Wave at him?! Alert following drivers!? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh….. you take a… Read more →

Here it is, the new camera phone from Nokia. It’s a retro 1980’s-style phone with the latest camera technology which lets you take pictures with 35mm film. Now.. you’re in for a treat here, because I’m very very drunk and I’m watching that classic Beverly Hills Cop movie. The missus is in Toronto tonight, so I’m all home alone and… Read more →

Back in the ’60s, when mobile phones were just a pipe dream, a guy called John Edwards decided to try and create a truely mobile phone. However, he needed a bit of cash. He went to his local Midland Bank to ask for a loan (Midland Bank is now HSBC Bank) but the manager decided that his idea for a… Read more →

The Hoff rules, but not quite this much.. http://www.davidhasselhoffonline.com/ The owners of the KWOON… Read more →

The guys at B3ta.com are a pretty mad bunch. They’re a massive swell of nutters who tweak, adapt and blend pictures with Photoshop to make them funny ‘n stuff. If that didn’t make sense, just click here and see for yourself. Anyhoo, every week they have a newsletter which is full of funny weblinks, jokes, news and top tips. Last… Read more →

As mentioned earlier, I had a rather blurry weekend thanks to the demon drink. Getting so utterly and completely trolleyed is a rather complex and interesting journey. It’s just like arranging a trip, and either requires careful attention to detail or sheer minute-by-minute reckless decision making :) I think it was the latter :) All this due to a wedding… Read more →
