Pulp: The Cartoon

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Sometimes you see an idea that is so simple to execute but must have been a real eureka moment to think of. This is a case in point: some genius has made Common People as a cartoon.

Madness.

Recession, you say…

More mountain mishaps

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

On the way back from Innerleithen after the first proper day out of the year. Overestimated my abilities once again and tried to jump a fairly large set of doubles. Bottled it halfway over, mucked up the airborne part and found my progress halted by a tree. Well, the bike did anyway. I continued through [...]

I wonder…

…if hipsters will soon ditch facebook, myspace etc and go back to friendster in an attempt to be retro.

Dogs = Stupid (lolcat killer?)

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Just come across on new site on digg that looks like it could challenge icanhascheezeburger, home of the mighty lolcats. FailDogs. Check out these doozies:

Dog lovers maintain they love their pets for their loyalty and unswerving friendliness, but I think most people just admire their relentless stupidity. Add this to the fail pic meme and [...]

The only place to be on 31st December

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Got tickets to go to Optimo on New Year. “Optimo Richie? OPTIMO?” I hear you whine. Okay, it’s not a regular haunt of mine, and no doubt my antiquated clothing will be met with powdery snorts of derision. However, I couldn’t give two hoots of a lambs tail becuase Dan Deacon is playing, making it [...]

New blog, etc etc

Monday, December 10th, 2007

As you’re no  doubt aware, my blog has cast aside its stabilisers and is now wobbling down the path to something that should give me a bit more flexibility to do what I like with it. It’s probably going to take me a while to get it exactly how I want given my notorious procrastination [...]

The Proles Princess (or how I learned to stop worrying and love the free market)

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Stopping in at Smiths in Queen St last week for my usual copy of Cross-stitch Review I was heartened to see the following:

Yes, that’s right: another terrible book about the self styled Proles Princess Kerry Katona reduced from the princely sum of £9.99 to a mere £2.99, the reduced sticker slapped unceremoniously across her [...]

Liverpool Cow Sex?

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Was going to keep this to myself but seeing as most of you know I’m a big Interwebs geek, I thought I’d share it. Add to this to near-constant mockery I receive for my Liverpool heritage and it seems quite relevant.
Anyway, the story is that a blind test was performed to determine people’s favourite [...]

Twitter + Video = Twiddeo

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I’m pleased to say that as of tomorrow I can happily sate another short term desire - to have Twitter with video! Just read a post on Mashable talking about a new mashup between Twitter and some video site called v:social called “Twiddeo” due to launch as soon as tomorrow - not sure how it’ll [...]
