Mixed ups and downs for the start of 2012

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:17:00 +0000

On the 2nd of January this year, Christopher White published a story that eventually went on to gain over 140,000 unique views, if you haven't already seen it, it's the "Samsung flips off Apple, uses same actress in ad" story. We set a record for...

Cancelling not as straightforward as you think

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:25:00 +0000

I used to follow Pompey with their Premier League shenanigans on our local "pay to view" sport channel Sport1, It costs about €15 a month extra and even then there was no guarantee my game would be on; they dropped 2 channels (used to be 8) just over a year ago, which meant that not all games could be shown if they kicked off at the same...

The real reason for social degradation?

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:18:23 +0000

There's a topic on another forum I frequent (to do with football, yes soccer for some) about a guy and his missus going out for a meal, and when they returned to their street were met by about 20 youths (boys and girls) no older than 13 or 14 with the exception of a couple of older "ringleaders" beating the hell out of an adult...

I have defected

It's official, I am now an iPhone user. Been playing around with it today setting it up (Exchange etc), loading some applications on it, sending a few texts and I have to say.. I'm really impressed! Even though I have huge fingers the keypad works flawlessly too.

Scared of the Dentist

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:08:11 +0000

Luckily for me I have always had a good set of teeth so I was able to put it off for once a year (on advice of the Dentist himself), but now as I get older I find that it isn't easy to put off that visit I hate so much. I go in, sit in the chair and then the cleaning tool to rid me of plaque screams onto my teeth and every sensation is a shot...

Holland out and thoughts on England absence

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:17:55 +0000

Well, on Saturday Holland were knocked out of the Euro 2008 tournament due to a cruel counter attack by the Russians both in injury time and then twice in the extended period, when we went 2-1 down, I always thought that the 7 or 8 minutes would be enough to equalize but the Russians held on and hammered the tired Dutch players who paid the price...
