It’s all over. The Freddos have all been slowly dissolved in a furious pit of stomach acids, their wrappers lie desolate and empty in the bin near my [...]

Today’s Freddo: 3D Freddo

Today’s Freddo: Giant White Chocolate Freddo

I’ll admit it: I was wary about this one. I like to mercilessly devour Freddo’s, perhaps hundreds at a time, because I like that chocolate flavour. White [...]

Today’s Freddo: Giant Freddo

My initial excitement in the presence of Giant Freddo is tempered ever so slightly when I spy that his pose on the wrapper is the very same as Mint Freddo. Disappointing. I [...]

The Fantastically Flamboyant Foreign Freddo Feast

Food | Freddo | penge @ 20:00, July 20th, 2009.

Aah Freddo. Freddo the Frog. The little chocolate frog with the big chocolate hit and the tiny chocolate price features very highly on my list of “Most favouritist things ever ever”. I genuinely don’t think you can beat the tasty chocolate hit that a Freddo gives you; nothing else quite satisfies those cocoa cravings.
Here in [...]

Innuendo overload

Filth | Gaming | Linkage | penge @ 21:30, July 14th, 2009.

If the amount of dreadful yet hilarious sexual innuendo in the clip below was unintentional then I will eat not only my hat, but ALL the hats. In the WORLD.

Oh dear. Deary deary me. The slightly sinister lullaby-esque music didn’t help the situation either. I feel slightly grubby now.
I don’t know what else to say. [...]

Zero Punctuation The Sims3 review – Contains swearing

Gaming | Linkage | PC | penge @ 20:01, July 13th, 2009.

I don’t get the smash hit game The Sims. You create some people and then, well, you just look after them, make them cook goopa carbonara, tell them to go to bed, instruct them to watch telly… it’s sort of like real life, but… on a PC… but… why? Why?
It’s nice to know that Yahtzee, [...]

Formula who?

F1 | Sports | penge @ 21:21, July 12th, 2009.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching the qualifying session (that’s qualifying, not ‘qualy’ as the BBC commentators irritatingly call it) for the 2009 German Grand Prix in a pub. Being in a pub, there was a fair bit of noise from the drunkards, the chavs and the distinguished folk such as myself, so there was no [...]

IT framework mind failure

Service Announcement | penge @ 20:41, July 9th, 2009.

Greetings readers of readerland. I apologise once again for this disturbing lack of output from Mr Trench and I. We shall sorely punish ourselves for not producing quality material for you to read, perhaps by only having one glass of vintage 1854 Chauteau du Mingebag (full bodied with flavours of wet camel, spider and pencil [...]

Wasted URL

Linkage | penge @ 20:32, July 3rd, 2009.

There aren’t many decent URLs left in the world, so it frankly startles and frustrates me that one brilliant URL, with obvious connotations for it’s use, has been hijacked for a most unlikely purpose.
The URL in question? http://www.what.com/
By all rights, it should be a website filled with “What…” based questions, it could be a useful [...]

Comedy | Podcasts | trench @ 18:01, July 2nd, 2009.

Being men, and women-men, of good taste there is every chance that you listen to the podcast and/or radio stereograms of Adam & Joe.
The pair cause much mirthment on my voyages to and from work with regular features including Text the Nation, Song Wars, the world famous Joe Completely Fails To Get Behind A Story [...]
