I was perusing something at work the other day that just seemed too good to be true. It was a news article and I actually had to go back and re-read the entire article to make sure it wasn’t some cruel joke. Thankfully, it wasn’t a joke and is simply brilliant.
There’s some project underway to [...]

Pretty rubbish really, 90mins of sudden “oh my God look it’s a ghost!” moments.
Ryan Reynolds and the kids are all good though.

There was a party political broadcast on behalf on the UK Independance party last night. They’re always good for a laugh regardless, but this one was just brilliant. I laughed like a policeman high on pcp beating a horse to death with a baton.
*cut to footage of the streets of London, people running around in [...]

Us clever Brits have created the world’s first hydrogen powered bike. A reporter on the local news pointed out it’s “futuristic styling”.
Although to my 80’s born eyes, it looks suspiciously like Street Hawk.

We need more smart pics from NASA like this. In fact this pic was also in todays Metro which also pointed out that that section of the Eagle Nebula is a mere 1 light year tall.
Which is aroundabout… 5.8 trillion miles, or 5.8 million million miles or just a plain old 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

I believe that a large red light would have been flashing on and off at BBC Headquarters on sunday afternoon. You know, one of those really big ones, probably accompanied by a siren of some kind, perhaps trilling “Licence fee! Licence fee!” to all within earshot.
Then the head man at the BBC would break off [...]

I have a deep mistrust of anyone who wears black leather gloves.
I blame Columbo.
I also fear well known actors who appear briefly before being arrested.

Can someone, somewhere, tell me why the sight of people falling over is funny? Obviously I’m not referring to everyone, if a fragile old lady tumbles over and hits the deck with a terrible bone splintering sound effect, then clearly this isn’t amusing in any way. But with the majority of people, it’s always worth [...]

As a person who survives on food, starvation forced me to go to the local supermarket today. I don’t really like doing the shopping on a sunday, it’s far too busy. Shopping at the weekend only brings unobservant idiots who crash into your trolley, morons who leave their trolleys in the middle of the aisles [...]

Well, here’s a first. A sort of blog style entry by myself. Not that it’ll be seen by anyone though, but I feel the need to get this issue off my chest.
Automatic doors.
Not a topic high on peoples lists of annoyances, but the main Automatic doors at work drive me mad. This is because when [...]

In an announcement of stunning obviousness, Bernie Ecclestone declared that in his informed opinion Fernado Alonso was “looking very much like the heir apparent” to the F1 throne. After a few moments of nervous silence, the gathered press realised the F1 supremo was not going to add anything more inciteful. As journalists and photographers left, [...]

In a statement released by the police, four million gallons of steroids plus double that amount of needles were found at his residence on Eternia. He-Man has been taken into custody.
He-Man himself had nothing to say, but his lawyer has issued this statement:
“He-Man wishes [...]
