Cup Of Coffee

Tuesday, September 11th 2001 was just another day at work for me – as it was for thousands of people in New York and at the Pentagon in the US. Regular flights for others were to result in disaster. Images were engraved in our minds.. images so sickening and aweful. Man-kind showed what hatred can do. Remember here. Read more →

I’m continually impressed with the Orange SPV C500. So far I’ve dropped it twice and the “bird” has (purely by accident she says) thrown it at me once…. hey, I even stood on the thing too! Yet it still works, it’s a tough little Smartphone and I’m growing to like it more and more each day. It’s good to see… Read more →

Am I the only one who thinks US politics is a bit nuts? I won’t pretend to know much about it and I won’t pretend that UK politics is much better, but the Republican party is currently using images of the twin towers to win votes. This is a little.. well, I think it leaves a bit of bad taste… Read more →

Bank Holiday Weekends are few and far between. For those who are not familiar, it’s a three-day weekend, when .. Banks are closed. No, I’m not sure either. It could only be us Brits who have a holiday which is about banks closing. Lets face it, banks are pretty crap. They’re shut whenever you need them, but they always say… Read more →

Not much of a blog post this – just some stuff I need to get off my chest. Today I’ve been a bit hung-over, ‘cus I got completely trolleyed last night. I only just made the mini-bus to get me to the party, mainly because of two problems. One was the V Festival, which blocked up a lot of the… Read more →

This week (I say “this week” but it’s only Monday) I am bloody knackered. Why? Well, I spent another Saturday at Ikea buying wardrobes. I also had to endure the “cramming the crap into the car”-thing after purchasing it. See, as a bloke – three flat-pack wardrobes, plus plants, pots, accessories, drawers, shelves, lights and other gubbins should EASILY fit… Read more →

I’ve noticed that a lot of my own life is starting to creep into the site – just recently I posted a front page story about my trip to Ikea.. now .. that’s just plain weird.. So, in an attempt to seperate my jokes / life / general mish-mash from the “proper content” of the website, I’m going to introduce… Read more →

Here’s an email one of you guys forwarded to me today. Again, totally un-politically correct.. but there you go… Please, if you’re gonna complain, forward it to [email protected] :) Looks like an ordinary story doesn’t it – but can you spot the hidden Chav family ? http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004370315,00.html Tips … 1 – “He drove home their other kids, Chelsea, 15, Sharney,… Read more →

There’s so much stuff going on in the Windows Mobile world right now. We’ve got the C500 coming out next week, the MPx220 coming out this Autumn and loads more. There’s the bad news too, such as the MPx100, which has been reportedly cancelled.. although.. we’re still not 100% sure. A handset this far down the line, with such saleability… Read more →

I know I shouldn’t laugh.. It’s not very PC, but I thought I’d share this with you… Catch it while it’s online! The Government are issuing leaflets and doing a website to help prevent terrorists.. Real Government website – http://www.preparingforemergencies.gov.uk Spoof website – http://www.preparingforemergencies.co.uk/ Related story – http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004350520,00.html I particularly like the “We must be prepared to deal with any… Read more →

Last night the bird was flicking around the various Holiday TV channels for the latest bargains. Anyone with Sky TV pretty much knows that after channel 600 you’re into QVC, “Bid Up TV” and “Shop TV” territory, which is bad… But then I stumbled upon channel 694.. It’s called “The Advert Channel” .. it shows 24 hour ……………..adverts… in fact,… Read more →

I don’t like doing this, but I gotta. In fact, I even had an email just saying, “What a top site! You should charge a membership fee!” Now, I’m not going to do that (‘cus I know how much I’d grumble if I was forced to pay!) :) However, this site is bloody pricey, plus I spent 4 hours replying… Read more →

So, I’m back from Wales. A beautiful country, but for some reason, I wish there was a big-ass motorway through the middle of it so I could get around quicker. :) Right. First of all, I have an axe to grind. What the FECK is going on with the Motorola MPx220 AGAIN ??! We ran a big front page story… Read more →

I’m on temporary assignment this week in the land of sheep and hills Wales) but will still be online thanks to a Sierra Wireless data card and a pretty hefty GPRS bill :) Still, it’s not bad speed for GPRS. While I’m on the move, if you guys see anything I miss, gimme an email or hit the contact button… Read more →

So.. England go out. After 2 hours of sheer stress, we’re out.. I’ll try not to mention the ref, Urs Meier (please, visit his site and leave some comments).. and we’ll try not to well on what could’ve been (good to see Rooney trying to play on with no boot, even though he’d smashed his ankle up).. I’ll just give… Read more →

Not much around in the news today, so I thought I’d share a few words with you after “THAT” football match on Sunday night. Firstly I notice that it’s been proved that English men are the greatest lovers. We can stay on top for 90 minutes and STILL come second. Hehhhehehheh :) Enough jokes.. I must tell you about the… Read more →

So, lots of news about today. OfCom are to force down the cost of calls on the UK mobile networks (woo hoo), there’s to be a new music chart for ringtones (oh, and YES – they HAVE started selling WAV files for about 3 quid a pop now!!) etc etc… But lets concentrate on what’s important. Firstly, you’ve got the… Read more →

I love this time of year. The sun is out (so are the laydees!), the beer is flowing and May 26th is … my birthday! :) Hurray! There’s probably going to be a bit of a break in the updates on the site during Wednesday evening and Thursday morning due to .. well, the beer. :) Read more →

My European friends, come close.. come close.. Let’s all have a discussion about the Eurovision Song Contest .. yeah ? Sorry to our readers from outside the EU – just tune out for a bit.. Let’s admit it… Go on, let’s be brave – what a big bag of toss it is. Crappy songs, obvious voting and strange clothing. Somehow,… Read more →

It’s not often I take time out to say thanks to you lot, so I’m going to now. I’ve just been looking at the logs, over 75,000 members (that’s like.. a quarter of a million!) and over 2 and a half million hits. That’s some big-ass numbers! (I’m starting to sound American for some reason). I get plenty of excellent… Read more →

Computers are great until they go wrong. Now, even though Windows XP has got a System Restore option, a “Last Known Good Config” option etc.. Somehow, I still managed to f*** the thing up big style. All I was trying to do was remove NetSupport from my lappy (a sorta remote-control program) and use Remote Desktop instead. Now, I decided… Read more →
