My bank keeps sending me paying in books. I think they’re trying to tell me to get some money because if not … I will continue to have no money. Obviously they don’t want this to be the case.

Be warned: the first couple of lines of this post are covered in horrible sticky crap that looks like pretention. In fact it is not. What appears to be pretention is merely lack of writing skill.

Firstly, it’s only just occurred to me that I have two mice on my desk. Well I knew that anyway, but the luscious thing is that one is made by Microsoft and the other by Apple. I refer, of course, to my lovely wonderful new Mighty Mouse that I got for Christmas. I’m hoping that [...]

Regulars to the site (especially from long, long ago) may have picked up that I used to have a pronounced dislike of Richard & Judy (especially Richard).
Well, not any more!
Read this post by Adam Buxton (of Adam and Joe fame) about humiliating TV experiences and watch the video at the end (which is the most [...]
