If I were a video-game…

I am a Space-invader. I will happily recruit the help of friends to aid me in getting what I want. I have no tolerance for people getting in my way, and I am completely relentless until any threats or opposition are removed. I try to be down-to-earth, but something always seems to get in the way.

Dance, Monkeys, Dance

Dance, Monkeys, Dance - a marvellous web-presentation that really hit the mark today. A Douglas Adams feel to the entire thing. Just what I needed to compliment the gorgeous weather here in Glasgow today. Read more about the piece here, including a transcript of the words spoken. Also, the thinking meat story will (if you’re like me, [...]

Cute Overload

Excuse the extended absence these last few days, but I’ve been down in London working (mostly), and catching up with friends. Busy busy busy as they say. Anyway, to the point, via neil, comes cute overload, and they’re really not kidding. Somehow the creatures nicking food appeals to me most: The bunny with the biscuit, and the [...]

I’ve got a mouse… he’s called Gerald

I’m a big fan of Pink Floyd, and whilst they’re not always the most welcome songs when I’m playing rated iTunes tracks hoping for cheerful background music, there is one song that stands head and shoulders above all their other tracks when it comes to enjoyable and fun. I refer of course to “Bike” from “Piper [...]

The Mighty Boosh

It’s great stumbling on something you don’t expect. Perhaps that’s what we all hope to find when we’re flicking about the television channels, and - generally - annoying the hell out of everybody else in the room. Well, I manage to puzzle Frances immensely (usually a solid indicator I’ve hit gold, at least to my [...]

The perils of a haircut

I’ve always been somewhat averse to hairdressers and getting my hair cut. You could say “hate with a passion”, and you wouldn’t be that far off. I’ve never really given it much thought until today though…

The Leyton

Rather amusing to see the detail of “The Leyton” from days long gone by… Marvelous stuff!

DVLA technical wizziness

It’s very easy to criticise and complain about ineptitude and incompetence in government, public bodies and even private bodies. I know I do it quite a bit. So it’s important to dangle an arm in the air and squeek “w00t!” on occasion for geeky goodness when the said public bodies do good. I’ve recently bought a [...]

A worrying job specification

I’ve just seen a job specification up here in Glasgow which reads: You should have the ability to work in an efficient manner, handling multiple support queries at any given time. You will need to be a camellia of circumstance dealing in an efficient and professional manner… Sorry, what? A camellia of circumstance? Yes. Right. Small evergreen [...]
