Whilst at work the other day, I stumbled upon a bit of a food situation. I was peckish and couldn’t decide whether to purchase a flapjack, a scone or some Jaffa cakes. After asking around for various people’s opinions, I was given some valuable advice that I shall take with me to the grave. This [...]

You’d think that most adults in the good old US of A would know just the tinest bit of information about the awful 9/11 attacks. Basic things, such as where they were and when they happened.
It seems not.
Particular credit to the man who thinks that three million people died in the attacks. Well done there, now go [...]

British ghost-busters have a lot to learn from their American counterparts. In the ‘States, the good old Ghostbusters powered around New York in ECTO1 and ECTO2, zapping the fiendish spirits with their proton packs, whilst not crossing the streams (obviously).
However, the British equivalent is that a group of people spent the night in some underground [...]

Love Doctor Who? Love chocolate? Got a spare evening? Excellent! Buy some chocolate and watch Doctor Who on telly or DVD. Bravo.
Of course, you might not be satisfied with just any old chocolate. You might want a bit of a challenge. You might want to build…
A chocolate dalek.
I have to say, I’m tempted, but my [...]

Just a quick ‘randomlinkage approves’ type-post regarding Doctor Who. Because very rarely do you get to witness an actor absolutely revelling in being A Complete Evil Bastard.
So congrats to the Beeb & John Sims whose turn as The Master is an utter delight.
Both myself and Mr Penge thoroughly look forward to next Saturday’s season finale, [...]

This summer, the world will be invaded… by badgers… in disguise…
Behold.
Additionally, behold this logo, which can be affixed to a t-shirt (as seen here) by the Weebl Shop. Randomlinkage officially classifies this as ‘good’.

Apologies for the lack of new things on Linkage for a while. Mr Trench has been busy training the servants to form a human pyramid in under 4 seconds, whilst I have been having computer troubles. Hopefully, with my shattered machine now up and running as usual, I should be able to avoid the dreaded [...]

You might have heard about the story of the woman who ripped off her ex-boyfrfiends testicle. She grabbed the unfortunate chaps bits-and-pieces, pulled them very hard, ripped his testicle off, popped it in her mouth, tried to swallow it, choked on it, spat it out and then handed it back to him. Imagine that, then [...]

Though it might increase his megalomaniac tendancies, I have to credit the Evil Lord Bray with this link.
It’s a few sketches and suchlike from Paul Merton – The Series, which passed me by, possibly because it was aired back in 1991 and 1993, whilst I was still a mere schoolboy. Some bits are particularly funny, some [...]

The US Military is obviously going mad. Observe.

They are making a robot. This is good.
They are constructing it to carry wounded soldiers from the battlefield. This is also good.
It can lift up to 135kg in a smooth motion. Again, good.
It has the face of a teddy bear. Yes. I see. Not really very good at [...]

The ‘Blogs‘ section of the Guardian website, which I’m slowly becoming more and more addicted to, contains an excellent blog entry involving, in no particular order…

A sword
A PS3
Cowardly burglars 

But you’ll love it for one line. One single line. I won’t ruin it, just go forth and read it. And then proceed to laugh.

Aah, the sweet smell of success.
I spent yesterday evening at Silverstone, but I didn’t smell the sweet smell of success. I sat around with thousands of other men, smelling the sweet smell of coffee, burgers and hotdogs, whilst thousands of women ran around us on a 5km jog. To be honest I think the blokes have the [...]

At the weekend, I did something that made me feel terrible.
I was busy in the kitchen and felt like eating a tasty, nutricious Freddo (which would give me some ‘Frenergy’, a phrase I coined myself which reflects the energy provided by a Freddo. Energy plus Freddo equals ‘Frenergy’. Er, anyway…). Absent-mindedly I grabbed a Freddo [...]

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of Jenson Button’s Formula One career.
With rising superstar mega faultless wonderful beautiful all round perfect uber-Brit Lewis Hamilton taking his first victory yesterday, in only his sixth Formula One race, our thoughts go out to Jenson Button. His name is now only seen in the [...]

(Before we start, click on this link and open it in another window/tab, then come back here and read whilst it loads. It will take ages, even on broadband.)
I am rather uashamedly a geek. Mr Penge, whilst not a full-on geek, definitely displays some geek obsessiveness, especially when it comes to his favourite chocolate snack, [...]
