November 27th, 2002

Only yesterday was I wondering how some people are really great at preparing the Christmas meal and I’m really crap at it. I’ve just never got my head around carving. The pieces of poultry are either too thin or two fat and that tasty crispy skin always gets pulverised in the process. So how pleased […]

Milton Keynes: Don’t go there

November 25th, 2002

We saw the new Bond flick �Die Another Day� at the Odeon Multiplex in Southampton. Great non-stop action, as you would expect and a totally far-out plot that sees the writers going back to the Moonraker days of outer space.

All is not well at McDonald’s – from Media Guardian. Well it had to happen sometime. More power to the consumer. Down with globalisation! Hang on, what day is it? Oh yeah, friday.. So forgetting the eight day fire service strike, let’s all have a game of helicopter.

Digging Goldie

November 21st, 2002

I wasn�t going to watch celebrity Big Brother this year but I was totally glued to my screen watching Goldie operate a mini-digger to get food for the housemates. Somehow he managed to get three baskets in one go. For a moment it looked like he was going to tear the garden to shreds with […]

The male brain

This amusing animated gif was sent to me this morning: the male brain. Can we have one for the female brain now?

What was that game?

November 20th, 2002

Do you remember a game in the late eighties hosted by Bob Carolgees? I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called but the fondu set was a favourite prize. The idea was to match two of the same item to win them. Anyway, Central Counties Newspapers (North) have a version of […]
