Bonekickers

Did you see Bonekickers on TV last night? I will watch some crap, but even I had to turn it off, it was so bad! I am still tempted to catch up on what I turned off on iplayer later, just to reassure myself that it was just about the worst thing ever....

Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

Nepotism at the Guardian

Expect this one to show up in Private Eye next week. The comments do seem to have been pretty brutal right from the off.It could be a spoof, but probably it's genuine and there to appeal to the child market.Via popbitch message board....

Particularly fulsome weekend, with curries.

Splendid weekend, a bit different this time, starting off with a half day on Friday. I headed to Winchester to meet up with some friends, and really needed the extra time to make the most of the night. Clare stayed home watching Children in Need afte...

I'd calmed down, but now I'm seething again!

There was another show on, when Nigella was off air, a "how to make simple Indian food" type thing, and it was shit, and the woman doing the show reminded me of a really bad Nigella. There was hardly any cooking (and the cooking she did do was fried ...

Sweet titles revisited

I've replaced some code at work with sweet titles from Dustin Diaz, that I've been using here for ages - hover over most of the links, more info will probably pop up. The original author has long stopped updating this code, too many stupid comments f...

Top weekend

Great weekend visiting, eating, and drinking, very nice indeed, cheers. Not such a bad journey down to Fareham as it might have been, considering it was the bank holiday and traffic was supposed to be monstrous. Normal holdups around Hindhead and the...

Ace weekend

Took a road trip to Fareham to visit the family this weekend, borrowing Clare's dad's car. No problems getting there, though it's not a drive I've done myself before, up the M20, round the M25 and then down the A3. The A3 near the Devil's Punchbowl w...

Fading mouseover tooltip thing

Back to normal

Our trains have been delayed either coming in or going home, and yesterday's central line was too busy to get on, I missed three tubes in a row. So we're back to normal! It feels slightly more tense today, being just one week ago that it all kicked o...

I remember those adverts and the outrage they caused because stupid kids went copying them. Funny how when they changed it to the kissing one, nobody copied that. But most of these kids weren't even born when those Tango adverts were out. Now that's ...

Hmmm... maybe you got them on a bad night. It can be quiet, and that combined with the fact that the chef likes high romantic classical music playing in his kitchen can make it a slightly surreal experience for those used to Ravi Shankar and loud con...

Easter beaster

A lot to write about, had a huge great easter weekend and really managed to fit quite a lot in. Can I remember it all is the question though... Friday daytime is too long ago to be sure, but in the evening we did a little tour of Stoke Newington Chur...

Bad Curry

Went to Eastern Nights on Saturday evening, at the top of the Old High Street for a curry, as it had been recommended. Normally in Folkestone we'd go to The New Delhi, and it's always good, but OH NO, I had to speak up and insist we try something new...

So, as mentioned before our office party was Friday night, actually in our office, and it seems to have been a resounding success. We had to leave early to try and get to Fareham, but so great a time was had by all they had to turn the heating off, a...

Good to see there's some civilisation in Folkestone

Here I was thinking that everyone between the ages of 16 and 60 had left town in a hurry... I moved down here last December (in fact, today is my year's anniversary), trading a tiny 2-up-2-down in Streatham for a monster Victorian place close to Folk...

Chaos in the house!

Looks like there are going to be new measures in place following today's storming of the House of Commons by pro fox killing types. I think they could do with a complete overhaul, and rather than bringing in the police or MI5 or Point 4 (ha), why not...
