Stephen Turvey cooking on gas

December 5th, 2002

My good friend, and ex-colleague, Stephen has launched his own website. He actually launched it on December the 1st but I’ve neglected to mention until now. Like a hawk, Stephen has unearthed some fascinating information. This morning I have been enlightened as to why I must turn off my mobile phone at the petrol station […]

The Great Reality TV swindle

December 4th, 2002

Last night I watched “The Great Reality TV swindle” on Channel Four. A mental case in his mid-20s managed to trick 30 people into believing they would make a £100,000 in a year on his TV show that didn’t actually exist. The contestants gave up their jobs, homes and family for this complete load of […]

Christmas beer and bowling

December 4th, 2002

Had the annual Christmas party last night: Beer, bowling and a banquet at the Milton Keynes Snowdome. I had trouble getting treble figures on either game. But my fascination with the machine that resets the pins led me delve into How Stuff Works to become enlightened. I paid for my portion of a meal using […]

Not Girls in their Pants

December 3rd, 2002

New Emap men’s mag Word is to launch next year. According to Media Guardian it will contain music, books, film and new technology, but emphatically not “girls in their pants” or celebrity culture. Yeah yeah, we’ll see!

The Weakest Link

December 2nd, 2002

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a contestant on The Weakest Link? Well, this poor soul took part in the US version and left with nothing. Sample from his blog: “I’ve had two people e-mail me that they seen me on television, and added a little addendum: my voice is high. Yes, I know […]

The joy of breakfast

December 1st, 2002

I rarely eat breakfast during the week. I never seem hungry much before 10am. Seeing as I start work at 9, I’ve been working for at least an hour before the hunger pains kick in. Rather than bringing in a bowl and some cereal, I’ve quite taken to munching on Alpen breakfast bars. The apple […]

2DTV

November 29th, 2002

The 2D TV ad may have been banned but the Internet still thrives with quality Bush piss-taking. Thanks: Shay.

Let me take a ride on your C64

November 28th, 2002

These winter months always leave me feeling nostalgic for my miss-spent youth. How pleased was I to find C64.com? Very. Relive classic 80s computer games such as Hunchback, Outrun, Afterburner, Rick Dangerous, Bruce Lee and Dizzy using a simple C64 emulator. I’m hooked.

Setting the video straight

November 27th, 2002

A highly amusing post on What Do I Know tells the hilarious tale of a video recorder that automatically records gay-themed TV programmes (much to the annoyance of some owners). One owner has started to video lots of war themed programmes to set his video recorder straight! Classic.

NO2 Funny Ad

November 27th, 2002

The funny O2 advert that says “Milton Keynes: Don’t Go there” is to be recalled. There’s been outrage about it by local MK residents who find it offensive. I live in Milton Keynes and don’t mind the advert at all. But then, I don’t want to live in Milton Keynes so I’m slightly biased. The […]
