Oh for goodness sake. it’s happened again.
First it was Coldplay with “Talk”, and now the same has gone and happened with the new single release from U2 “Original of the species” - they’re both tracks that are released from albums as singles months after I’d got ‘into’ them from first hearing them as [...]

(Couldn’t resist the PSB song title, sorry)
This is brilliant - a woman on a radio phone-in on BBC Radio 5 Live last week has said that she won £1.5 million on the lottery here about three years ago, and yet has never told her husband about it. Like absolutely everyone, I’ve often wondered that if [...]

So my iPod broke last week. Well - when you’ve got as many of them as I have, one of them is bound to fail eventually, isn’t it?
Now before you get confused, this isn’t the 3rd generation one that I once cyber-begged for, it’s not my current 5th generation ‘main’ Video iPod that I [...]

The results are up!
If you voted (or if you didn’t), you’ll probably want to go and have a look.

2) It’s a well known ‘in joke’ in the states that during presidential elections, it’s always the good looking one that [...]

… to the land where a gallon of milk costs more than a gallon of petrol. Gas. Petrol. Whatever! Stuff that makes you car go - you know the stuff. The average price of a gallon (1 US gallon by the way = 3.785 litres) of milk is $2.99, whilst petrol is about $2.20.
To save [...]

There is very clearly too much to take in, including …
I always thought that the line “Get a room already!” (as used in the closing credits of an epsiode of ‘Friends’ once), was - well - just a line, until I found myself on the receiving end of those exact same words. Having [...]

Yes, I know I promised no more Pet Shop Boys song titles, but this one was just to good to resist.
Two things:

I discovered yesterday when buying songs off of the US store of iTunes that when the total appears at the bottom, you get a message that you don’t get on the UK version that [...]
