I think it was way back before Christmas of last year that I found myself online at the Walkers Crisps website, where they were giving away free pedometers - gadgets that count the number of steps that you take in a day. Obviously they’ve been feeling bad that they’re turning us into a nation of [...]

How bizarre .. I just got repeated on Reality TV channel. Minding my own business on a quiet Sunday afternoon and Helen Blaby (#340) sends me a text saying “You’re on TV again!”, and sure enough, they’re showing a repeat of our Tube3 experience. I really should have negotiated a repeat fee.
I’ve added a new [...]

I had a nice email yesterday off of Suman Biswas, who explains that he and his friend are the two people responsible for the London Underground piss-take song that’s doing the rounds on the internet at the moment, and whilst he’s happy for me to promote it here, he also wants me to plug the [...]

Well, I almost chucked it in this week - almost.
I had a massively busy week where nothing seemed to go right - nothing, and as I had loads to do and sort out, my blog kinda fell by the wayside .. and the more I thought “Ooh, I really should go and blog”, the more [...]

Well I’ve had a busy weekend .. why? Because I had a ‘contributor visit’ to my house!
After I flew out to meet Rick in Holland last year, we invited him and his wife back over and I figured that they might come out in summer of 2005. So imagine my suprise when only just a [...]

Bad things come in threes right?
Well - my washing machine broke this week - it’s been on it’s way out, but it’s finally time to get a new one. Ditto on my car battery - the cold weather has been taking it’s toll and it’s finally died - need to get a new one. I’m [...]

More iPod fun then, as the iShuffle advert (Quicktime) is now available online to see here.
Swearwords are in the air then, and following on from the Jerry Spring opera, and also yesterdays ‘Going Underground’ swearword version, Kristina (#202) sent me this excellent link:
www.sixelephants.com/fword.swf It’s got the word ‘fuck’ in it a lot! You have [...]

Big news from Apple today - they’ve launched a sub �500 Mac computer for the first time, and there’s a new member of the iPod family as well - the iPod Shuffle.
A tiny Flash-Ram based device that comes in either 512Mb or 1GB versions with 12 hours of playback time. It’s got it’s own [...]

I read an amazing fact today about how to cure hiccups, so much so that I want to get hiccups now, just so that I can try out this cure for them, and here it is:
Eat a spoonfull of white sugar
Simple as that. Does this really work? Anyone heard of or used this method before? [...]

What a let down! I watched the much hyped show last night .. well .. bits of it, because I had a really hard time getting ‘in’ to it. I think it’s something that works much better in the theatre, and doesn’t actually come across on TV that well. You couldn’t even really hear them [...]

There was a demonstration outside the BBC today. Various religious groups were up in arms about the fact that BBC2 are showing ‘Jerry Springer - The Opera’ tomorrow night on BBC2.
This is the show that (on stage, at least) contains over 2,000 mentions of the word ‘fuck’, and 600 of the word ‘cunt’. (Here’s a [...]

My music review of the year CD is finally finished as it’s something I do every year - compile a month by month breakdown of all the major UK chart hits, and get people to vote on what their favourite tracks were.
You then email the votes into me, and I compile a ‘favourites’ chart.
The cool [...]
