I don’t hold with these mamby-pamby, new-fangled mobile phone ringtones. Young people these days don’t even know what a proper phone should sound like. Here’s one I made earlier… You know, I can remember when people didn’t have mobile phones. It was better back then, someone sent you a message and once you had […]

Ebayer’s Remorse
That looks like a good deal. I will have a punt, bet I get outbid though. …(Puts in low bid to make sure won’t win)….. ****, I won! Just bought a desktop computer, by accident.
Have your children been assimilated yet?
I have just taken delivery (for Jax) of what I believe may be the smallest Borg cube in the quadrant. They have clearly assimilated a race of very, very tiny people as it is only about 150mm square. You can get your children assimilated too, just go to BorgMerrily BeadMerrily. Oh yes, I knew there […]

Water, water everywhere
Big watered my mobile phone last night and the errors it it now giving suggest that it is effectively deceased – over a year old and I think it would have to go back to Nokia for repair. I still have about 4 months left on my contract with Virgin (who are rubbish, by the […]

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With […]
