Band Aid 23 years since the original was released, I must have heard this song hundreds of times. I don’t ever recall seeing the original video however, which I came across today. It’s fun to watch and see who looks the most bored while recording this, and to see Bono trying to push Sting out [...]
Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoons, killed off Asok the intern today! Nooooooooooo!
Looks like Blognation may not be around much longer. There’s been rumours of non-payment of wages for months now, but finally Oliver Starr has had the guts to go public on all this. Oliver doesn’t think that his letter will stay up on Blognation for long, so he’s asking bloggers all round the [...]
Seeing that Google Maps now allows open collaboration, I’ve started a European Travel Map that allows anyone to add to it. View Larger Map Feel free to add in any useful info you can think of: Hotels to avoid, ones that are good Memorable restaurants The best pubs & clubs Engaging museums or art exhibits I would envisage that in the future, [...]
Read Part 1 here. When you turn off the motorway to head up the mountains through Adenau, the road gets a little twisty – well really, a lot twisty! It seems to be an endless series of hairpin bends joined by long sloping curves. There’s no way to rush on this road – not unless [...]
SCOTLAND DIES LAUGHING Most would have been [...]
George Sfarnas is one person that never fails to cheer me up, no matter how bad the day…
An excellent video of Steve Job’s commencement address to the graduating class from Stanford University 2005 – a lot of very valuable ‘out of the box’ business learnings.
I may be a woman, but I am aware of just how many crap woman drivers are out there… Enjoy this video of some really bad driving, set to an alternative version of the “Sheila’s Wheels” advert theme tune.
I think this is how Twenty got his black eye, it was all Throatripper’s fault…
This is the story of our honeymoon; a long story, so I will break it into several parts. When planning the European road trip for our honeymoon there were three specific events that we wished to attend, firstly we had booked a madcap lap of the Nordschliefe circuit at the Nurburgring in Germany. From there [...]

Have fun with this Steve Ballmer dress-up game – can you get Steve ready to go trick-or-treating?
After the government’s partial U-turn on the changes to the learner driver rules, I was interested to see an article on breakingnews.ie today. Apparently around 2,400 learner drivers were taken to court so far in 2007 for driving while unaccompanied, and around 4,400 for the same offence in 2006. With all the bullshit excuses being thrown up [...]
In one of my previous residences, we had what I considered to be the most unusual answering machine message ever. People would regularly call the house to sell us something, hear the message and then call back a few mins later with all their colleagues listening in (yes, we did screen our calls a [...]
About effing time! The Road Safety Authority announced that new rules will come into force for learner drivers from midnight on Monday 29th October. These new rules include: The provisional licence is being replaced by a learner permit to emphasise the fact that the holder is learning to drive. Existing provisional licences will continue in force until [...]
Sick of all your friends squashing those links with TinyURL? Get revenge with HugeURL, because as we know, bigger is better – right? Got a girlfriend that’s down in the dumps – how about some Happy Pills? Mess with your mind with this corner house illusion. Convert any picture of yours to ASCII text. Some people really do look [...]
Post title mainly just to grab your attention… €17.64 = $25 (according to xe.com currency conversion today). I just made a loan of $25 to an entrepreneur named Patisepa Neli in Samoa. You’re probably thinking “OK, what?” So let me fill you in on the back story… George & I had a pair of tickets to [...]
then you should love “Long Way Down” with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, starting on BBC2 at 9pm on Sun 28th October. And even better than that, I’m finally escaping the house tonight as the lovely Maryrose has invited me to join her AND meet Charley Boorman who is publicising the new series in Ron Blacks [...]
