I’ve got a video being repaired by Currys at the moment. It’s getting frustrating. I was going to go into details, but these links tell it all far more clearly – If only I’d listened… Dixons are shit – I found this by typing ‘Dixons are shit’ into Google. The Register (bless ’em) A Blog… Continue reading Video Repair Blues

The What-O-Sphere?
Last night’s seminar organised by spiked was pretty interesting. It was the first one of this kind of thing I’ve been to. My good friend Mira told me about it. We thought it would be a good insight into how this blogging is affecting publishing and online life, considering the fact that I’ve just started… Continue reading The What-O-Sphere?
Libertarian Nonsense
Angle-Grinder Man is a guy who will remove wheel clamps in Kent. Another example of the eternal battle between freedom and libertarianism, rights and responsibilities, etc etc. Another case of this is Speed Cameras.

Well, here we are back in the good old 51st state. We had a great time in Scotland, first in Dundee, Mairi’s birthplace, and then in a quiet-now-the-festival’s-finished Edinburgh.

Managed to partake in that quintessentially British pastime, Afternoon Tea, on Saturday. Mairi’s birthday is this week, so on Sat we went to Claridges. Fantastic time, very swish surroundings, all the sandwiches, scones and pastries you can eat, washed down with litres of tea. Great value, as long as you absolutely gorge yourself. Which I… Continue reading Yum
Aww Cute
Ferry Halim has some great games here. Some are pretty hard, some are quite simple, but they all look fantastic. My favourite is the flying saucer videoing game.
Some Day I’ll Flyer Away
Ah well, back to work. Nice weekend though, relaxing and constructive in equal measure. Finally got this site going a bit more, for one thing. The ‘Two Gents’ flyers are ordered and on their way, so that’s a tick in a box. BTW, sorry about the myriad popups that the Carlton site gives you –… Continue reading Some Day I’ll Flyer Away
Shoot ‘Em In The Head!
I always wondered what it was that made ‘The Dead Walk!’. Luckily science has an answer.
