It sounds like a bad episode of Jeremy Kyle - the bullying bloke fresh out of the nick, the slaggish ex-girlfriend, a new bloke on the scene, a kid called something like Crystal or Chardonnay. Except this bullying bloke - troubled at the core like most bullies are - came out with a shot gun [...]
What’s the link all about I hear you say? Well, click on it, go on! It’s all about sustaining a positive attitude to saving energy is what. In other words, it’s about remaining diligent about helping the planet (and our wallets), something that few of us can honestly profess to do on a day-to-day basis…
As [...]
I remember seeing 3D for the first time. It was some kind of action film. Me and dad were right at the front, and to be honest with you, although it made an impression at the time, it wasn’t exactly mind-blowing. In fact, a few years later I could barely remember any part [...]
With summer about to begin and the kids getting older I was on the search for a new digital camcorder. I don’t want to miss one jump in the pool or crazy fishing trip. I had no idea what I was looking for and knew nothing about pixels, shot range, or really much of anything [...]
Scooters used to be everywhere. Those annoying things that started life as toys for children and developed in to a craze bigger than…I don’t know, it’d probably take me all day to think of a bigger craze. Do you remember? A pretty disgusting sight: grown men and women in suits, filo-fax’s in hand, [...]
“So, what kind of music do you listen to?” That’s the question right there, isn’t it? That’s the one that acts like a double-kick to the back of the knees. Any other question, please, just not that one, because that’s about as terrifying as “so what British association of cosmetic doctors ?"is to someone [...]
I wasn’t born with an expressive face. My face is about as expressive as some really non-expressive DVD packaging. It is my opinion that this has had a negative effect on me throughout my life. It’s probably why I ended up as a funeral director: even when I was elated, I looked impressively miserable. So [...]
People who mishear things drive me round the bend. But it goes much deeper than that, and I need to be more specific: I’m talking about those people who not only mishear things, but then misinterpret their meaning. Within minutes a chain of events has been set in to motion that can not be [...]
I love the internet. It’s fantastic. No matter what you are interested in you’ll be able to find someone else who’s also a keen fan (unless you’re a fan of extreme naked tractor pulling, in which case you might be out of luck, but who am I to say? The internet is ma-hu-ssive!)
But there is [...]
Be warned, I take my tea extremely seriously. More seriously than Dick Cheney and The Yorkshire Ripper take /took violence against humanity, in fact, and that’s saying something (Note: of course, I am not suggesting I admire the Yorkshire Ripper. Tea-issues aside, he was evil, but I don’t have enough time to get into that [...]
