It’s just dawned on me that the hateful bastards in charge at Postman Pat PLC, have changed the the bloody theme tune. No longer is it “Postman Pat and his black and white cat”,no, it’s been replaced by a forgettable generic effort that washes over you like elevator muzak (hence why i just realised it […]
That Americans don’t get irony is, and always has been, a nonsense.
I think Stephen Fry best sums it up: -
Incidentally, forgive a detour here, but if there is one misapprehension about Americans that annoys me more than any other, it is the lofty claim, usually made by the most dim-witted and wit-free Britons, that America […]
On Valentines Day, again, a US university was rocked when one of its own students entered a lecture theatre and shot at classmates with a shotgun.
Five students were killed, and sixteen wounded before the gunman turned his weapon on himself. As usual the 24hr rolling news channels descended on the university campus and the salivating […]
Unity, over at LC has kicked over a hornet’s nest with a piece - inspired by a Donal Blarney (hiss, spit) post, addressing intolerance towards the BBC’s various ethnic-targeted content.
Google Alerts must have gone crazy, as by 6am the usual trolls had surfaced.
Now, as long-time readers will be aware, I curry no favour for […]
Christian conservatives. Gotta love’em.
(p.s. this video accompanies my *first* podcast… to go live sometime over the weekend, once I get everything sorted. Worked very hard today getting the first one ready. Am good. Deserve a present. )
UPDATE: Actually it may be Monday before the podcast goes live. It’s my first attempt and I’m not […]

Mike Power spent last night in the nick.
Mike,
It’s not big, and it’s not clever. Piss-funny, though.
Heat magazine is the bible of the celebrity-obsessed masses. It’s the magazine of choice for those who think Amy Winehouse’s drug hell constitutes “current affairs”. And it is the rag most likely to be read by a person who hasn’t had a decent night-out unless they’ve had a fight in kebab shop, been scuttled in […]
I just caught 5-minutes of BBC Two’s new afternoon show, Food Poker.
My conclusion?
Western Civilisation is fucked.
Justin on proposals to hike the tax on alcohol: -
I don’t know about anyone else but I’d feel less inclined to drink if this country, along with its culture and its politics, was just a little less unremittingly shit. That, of course, would require almost an entire generation of good-for-nothing-else chancers and mountebanks getting their […]
Shoeboxed.
WTF?

Halloween, originally uploaded by fabbio.
Tonight is Halloween.
Now you can call me an old-crank spoilsport if you please, but I just don’t get why we’ve bought into this American holiday (although, yeah, I can totally […]
I ditched the BlackBerry.
Now before we go any further, BlackBerry’s are fantastic. There is not a cell on the market that comes close with regard to handling email. The BlackBerry/Vodafone push email service, and the excellent keyboard, make writing text and sending email a breeze.
But for £15 per month? £180-per-year? (On top of my cell […]
