The MTV VMA awards are on again. But as I’m now the wrong side of 30 I find I have more in common musically with the oldies than the kidz. As an example, we went to see The Police in concert (with Spam the Monkey) and they were amazing and the last time they playedContinueContinue reading “mtv twitters while britney video barred”

In flight entertainment going a step too far? Virgin America have recently trialled an in flight IM service allowing you to badger the hell out of other passengers, probably the “hotty” 3 rows in front of you. Frankly I’d find this annoying as fuck as we say here in Blighty. But the general service seemsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 12.09.07”

Sublime is an ethical lifestyle magazine. But it’s not tree-hugging shite, actually some intelligent and refreshing editorial. Or at least the copy I skimmed through recently. Some quite strange tips in Francesca Beauman’s book for the ladies including this on orgy etiquette would you believe: “You mustn’t hog the best-looking person,” she explains in penetratingContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 01.09.07”

Mums. Bless them. We love them. And they love the web. Can’t get enough. And you thought it was all the young dudes who made the news. New research from eMarketer tells us 89% use it twice a day. Wow. Search is by far the biggest weapon of choice (Google being the goddess of choiceContinueContinue reading “google mother”
bikinis, nudity & the return of super fred
Saw the first one day international between England & India at the magnificent Rose Bowl on 21.08. A game that had everything including some surprises. In no particular order: Bikinis (well, had to talk about that first) Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of the ground but in the West stand a group ofContinueContinue reading “bikinis, nudity & the return of super fred”

Perhaps it could be worn as a badge of honour/shame/etc.? Sadly it’s for an air conditioning company. I saw it on their van and sniggered.

Saw this in the cinema on my hols and laughed at an ad for the first time in ages. Enjoy the knitting nanas. If flux capacitors mean anyting to you you’ll know it’s 25 years since the gull wing Delorean came into our lives and Michael J Fox was the coolest kid in town. AndContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 28.08.07”

Only a few things today as I’ve been on a couple days hols (more on this when I get chance) and am now officially pitch bitch for the rest of this week. Flood 2.0. With the UK drowning through unseasonably high water fall of late, here’s a mash up of Google maps with news reportsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 08.08.07”

Not content with the fabulous Golf night driving, VW have extended the use of the Touareg stunts from the new Matt Damon film, the Bourne Ultimatum with a 3D stunt simulator: create your own stunts, load ’em, see if the people out there rate your stunt as cunning or not (deliberate Kenny Everett -ism thereContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 03.08.07”
lumpy post
Lumpy is a term that has stuck with me ever since everyone’s favourite bearded Canadian, PJ Darling (real name) entered our lives many years back and did a Show & Tell about a 3D boxed DM piece for BTCellnet (now 02). And where I’m from, we call these packs ‘a lumpy’ And it’s stuckContinueContinue reading “lumpy post”
