Nope! Big Brother 5 viewers have managed to remove the last remaining interesting charater from the Big Brother house. The Slick is no more. Nothing more to see here. Move on…

I’m the sort of bloke who’s fairly happy to spend my holiday sitting on the beach with a good book for company. This year we were in a bit of a rush to get ready so I had to make a good choice of reading matter in the five minutes allotted to WHSmith. I don’t [...]

The Mercury Music prize nominations reveal a great selection of albums from the last year. Most are already in my collection and it’d be hard to choose beween things like Dear Catastrophe Waitress and Franz Ferdinand to be honest. The obligatory Mercury Music sampler CD will be a pretty enjoyable listen this year!

I’m testing out a new method of displaying photos on this site whilst I don’t have time to do my own thing with them. You can see my recent photos in the right-hand column. Pretty cool, eh?

This BBC article is hilarious: Turning the tables on Nigeria’s e-mail conmen. We all get them, this man had a little fun with them. Splendid!

We’re back. No computer for nearly two solid weeks. Feels good. However, I returned to find 111 unread mails in my personal email account and 254 in my work account. A fair few of these were from my old university mate Nicky whose Microphone and drum machine have been sitting in my loft for the [...]
