  • Michael Has Left The Building…

    I’d like to think that I’m not generally one for jokes about departed celebrities, but I’m afraid I couldn’t help but laugh when I read this comment from @blearyboy: Maybe too soon to start talking about this, but I think we’d all like to see a Democratically Elected President of Pop after this.

  • It Can Send Pictures, And Everything!

    I can now do the coolest thing on my phone. I can take pictures with it, and then, get this, send those pictures to people so they can see them on their phones! And if that wasn’t cool enough… they can send me pictures back! It’s this really cool new technology called MMS! How awesome…

  • I’m Not In London Anymore

    One of my memories of my grandfather is that his television used to show cinema adverts. Back home, in London, in the huge Thames/LWT television region that covered some eight million people, we only got slick, national adverts, for slick national products. But my grandfather lived in Somerset, in the much smaller HTV-West region, where…

  • I Will Be At Discworld 2010

    This post is perhaps taking advance notice to a ridiculous extreme, but just for the record, and because, well, I am going to be there… I’ll be at the Discworld convention 2010, run by my very good friend Brian Nisbet. I was at the last convention in 2008 (it’s run every other year) and it…

  • The Right Honourable Nazi for Yorkshire & The Humber

    Kelly Holmes is not fully British, says BNP MEP Andrew Brons. That’s Dame Kelly Holmes and plain, old Mister Andrew Brons, for those keeping score.

  • Some Tips Heard/Learned/Observed Over the Weekend

    Heard, about child-discipline: “If you’re ever threatening an action should your child choose to do something naughty, don’t ever make a threat that you aren’t prepared to follow through on.” “Like, don’t threaten to throw them out of a third-floor window?” “Well you’ve got to at least be prepared to dangle them out of it…

  • A Response From Phones4U

    I emailed a complaint to Phones4U, giving the URL of my previous blog entry. Well they’ve pretty quickly replied in a comment there: We like scout masters and in fact have a lot of respect for them and others who support the youth audience. The campaign is a humorous commentary about people’s obsession with popularity.…

  • Phones4U: Losers With No Friends

    I think that scouting is a really good pastime for children. It breeds character, confidence, and helps build them into the citizens of tomorrow, which in a world where a good chunk of them are walking around with knives stabbing people is in my opinion a pretty important thing. And I consider the adults who…

  • We Are Not Mr & Mrs Typical

    Most people in the UK do not read books. Shocking, I know, but it’s what many people have told me. I might read books, my wife might read books, both of our families might read books, and pretty much all of our friends might read books, but nonetheless, apparently, most people don’t read books. It’s…

  • Andrew Brons

    Andrew Brons, 61, started his nazi career in the National Socialist Movement, an organisation that was deliberately founded on Hitler’s birthday by the British nazi Colin Jordan. NSM members were responsible for an arson campaign against Jewish property and synagogues in the 1960s, of which Brons stated: “On this subject I have a dual view,…
