How pathetic are articles like this that make it seem like Jacqui Smith has committed the ultimate crime? For Christ’s sake, let’s get some perspective British public – you idiots! I’ll disregard the second home argument because to me it makes sense – surely she would spend more nights in London than out of it. Jacqui [...]
Either we’ve got a very angry postman or Argos tried to deliver a car through the letter box. Whoever it was, it’s rather inconvenient.
Genius. Girls Aloud have hit the money this time with an out of this world song, a literally out of this world video and an out of this world look. Bare skin + duck tape + pleather + pvc + spaceships that look like Zorbs = HOT SEX. Tweedy-Cole and Ginger are by far the [...]
As if the original isn’t hilarious enough:
The parodies have started landing:
It’s hard to know which is funnier – perhaps they’re equally funny.
This is my current favourite possession, Paperchase’s A6 Wiro notebook. One of many in the Wiro notebook range. It’s just so mini, papery and retro. Pint size written word in your pocket. There’s definitely something comforting about the cardboardy cover, the neat little pages and the rubber strap to keep it shut. Ebooks and iPhones [...]
I’ve seen it all in computer games (largely thanks to Grand Theft Auto) including big boobs, naked boobs, pole dancing, a flaccid penis, oral sex from a prostitute in a car etc. etc. But what is going on when I play the recently released Resident Evil 5 on the XBox 360? The occasional phwoar factor, [...]
Yeah baby, it’s back! Tesco’s £9 Finest meal deal is back in your local stores and this time I picked up chunky chips, steak diane, a bottle of red and the amazing looking tarte au chocolate. This is a good deal but part of me is shouting “I wouldn’t have spent that much normally” and [...]
Having ploughed through this book in a mere two days, I can tell you now that it is very good. The story is like a short, blunt, tigery account of one person’s life in India and I simply could not put the thing down. Either I got through it too quickly or it was lacking [...]
On Sunday I made what I thought was the musical discovery of the year: Britney Spears Piano Tribute. Featuring piano versions of classics like Womanizer, Hit Me Baby One More Time and Toxic. However, having played it in full at work I can reveal the actual effect it has on people: irritation, anger and bloodlust. [...]
It’s highly likely that in the UK we are all today in the same boat: sad that Jade Goody has died and a little unsure of how to feel about her time in our lives. In 2002 the UK population witnessed Jade’s arrival into our daily media consumption through Big Brother. This was followed by [...]
The last ever episode of the new Battlestar Galactica series aired in America this weekend (and my living room in London). Having watched every depressing minute of the four series and TV films I can now offer final judgement. As with any TV show this judgement is done by comparing it to Xena: Warrior Princess. Battlestar [...]
As distracting as Angelina Jolie’s lips are, they still couldn’t distract from her performance as a mother who’s child is kidnapped in the film Changeling. I saw the trailer (who didn’t: my son! My son! I want my son! MY SON!) but completely missed this in the run up to the Oscars while being sidetracked [...]
What the bleedin’ ‘eck is that Pope bleeting on about this time?! What aggravates is the Pope opening his mouth. Apparently his latest media blitz was actually meant to be along the lines of: condoms are bad because people should abstain from sex altogether. What his quote actually did was send out the message: condoms make AIDS worse [...]
A story about a psychiatrist and a one hundred year old lady may not sound like the most interesting basis for a book, but the Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry is brilliant. It’s not perfect but I really felt for that old dorris and that made me love the story. If you’re going to pick [...]
There I was on the Telegraph website watching the below video clip of a Japanese robot woman in disbelief :
Did they not watch Terminator 3?! I did. They’ve even given it an ‘angry’ mode already. Bad Japanese scientists. Bad! You’re bringing about the end of the world:
Update: just noticed in the top clip that despite creating a [...]
I knew there was a reason for this blog existing and This Is It. Clop clop high heels make me irate! It always starts when you least expect it at 7am on your way to work. All is quiet, all is peaceful. The sun is shining and you’re starting to think to yourself, this isn’t [...]
The happiest song ever? I love this soooo much – especially the bit where they all dress up as cows.
Summer is on its way which means one thing: that pallid winter skin has to go! A concern for women now shared by men in these modern times. Tanning is boring, dangerous and gives you wrinkles – so, in the hunt for the ultimate man-tan I’ve tested Boots’ Soltan medium strength fake tan for this [...]
Thank-you Spotify for making listening to music on the internet easy and, importantly, legitimately free. Adverts pay for us to listen to an ever growing library of songs, like Napster but better because it’s free. How do they come up with this stuff? Next thing you know, they’ll invent a machine that has speakers that [...]
Among many things I somehow find the time to play a lot of computer games. Think of what you would consider a lot of computer games and double it. So it was with great interest that I read up about the Bafta Game Awards only to find like so many award shows, they were useless. [...]
