If all the servers were to be taken out,ContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 27.09.07”

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”

I like it. Sky have created a channel called SkyCast. I just don’t see why they didn’t createContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 30.07.07”

After signing up and what seemed like endless survey filling in, I got asked to join a Bzzz campaign for Lucozade Sport with Caffeine. I filled in (yet another) survey to qualify and will shortly receive a 12-pack in the post (the postman will be delighted) and further instructions. I hope the instructions self-destruct. IContinueContinue reading “agent status | active”

When you gotta go… go in style. Just for the ladies, WC1 is a luxury bathroom for girls who can’t bear to go in like, y’know, just any old toilet where anyone might have been. You can get a bit of pampering too. Spending more than a penny I should imagine. But is there aContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.07.07”
