Happiness is a mild cigar…

… I’m having one of those clumsy, unlucky mornings when relatively simple, straightforward activities just go wrong — making myself giggle… so, while the theme track from the old Hamlet tv ads is playing in my mind, I wanted to [...]

Now that’s what I call a car crash!

Caught this story at Wired this morning (click here to see the original story) but in case you’re not a tech head but do enjoy video of super high speed car crashes where everyone walks away:

Puts me in mind of the old Breeders track, Cannonball…

Spitting in a wishing well

UK Election – My favourite comment

My favourite comment on the British Election – a cartoon by Steve Bell:

Balinese Umbrellas page in Google… now you see it, now you don’t…

Last week, I received an SMS [...]
