Do you ever get those emails from the Nigerian email scammers who want you to help them transfer their inheritence to your bank account and in the process drip you dry of all your money?  Normally I hit the delete button after I have a read to see how inventive they get. I say “normally”Continue reading “Email conversations can be fun…especially with scammers.”

I got an email from John over at onlinecolleges.net who wrote THIS article on crazy college courses available in the US.  He also told me that if I plugged his site, he would send me loads of beer.  Now this sounds good, although I do think I may have made it up in a vain attempt at getting moreContinue reading “College courses can be fun”

It started with a squeak.  A door that when we closed, managed to wake up the entire neighbourhood.  I wouldn’t say it was loud, because that would assume that I could hear it.  No, it was one of those that had such a high pitched noise that all the dogs in the neighbourhood started aContinue reading “WD-40 – Not all it’s cracked up to be.”

(For those of you on feed and don’t come to the site, don’t forget to stick your name down on the facebook group for the site at http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/the_wheel_is_turning_but_the_hamster_is_dead/ – You wont get anything apart from the satisfaction that you are signed up to yet another group and can increase your friend count by adding me asContinue reading “Read more books.

It’s just typical.  I sit in front of my PC bored one day and realised that there is some real self centered boring as hell updates going on in the facebook status world about hearing someone bought an ice cream or some such stuff that just makes no real difference in my life.   So IContinue reading “I had a great idea for a post…and then read it somewhere else.”

While watching TV, there was a scene where a guy cheated on his other half and then bought her flowers. My wife annoyed at this started talking to the TV like a deranged mad woman and talking at the female character saying that you never trust a man who has bought you flowers.  She gotContinue reading “Infidelity pays off in scary ways.”

The BBFC (the people over here in Blighty that get to ruin computer games for kids by making it an 18 certificate…and then the kid downloads it for free anyway) have a tough job.  Every year they have to classify around 600 cinematic releases and 12000 DVD’s amongst other stuff. This list includes hardcore pornography. And nowContinue reading “Best job ever? Probably not, but I still want to give it a go.”

Being the nice person that I am, I always try to not be overly confrontational when people say something completely stupid or annoying.  This has a couple of exceptions. One is old people who wind me up by saying something completely unreasonable.  The other?  Well the other is something I cant admit to on here becauseContinue reading “My inability to not reply to obnoxious old people strikes again…”

Lets talk about the contents of a pair of my jeans. (I mean the materials used to make them!) They haven’t got a zipper fly, they have those annoying buttons. And they are making my life hell.  If I don’t get arrested at some point in the next week or so and end up withContinue reading “Exposing yourself in public is just as not much fun as it could be.”

Here we go again in the fun series of abusing the search engine results.  As always (because I am not original enough to change the format), the words in the ” ” are real search engine results as told to me by my stat counter.  Don’t believe me?  Go to google and type em inContinue reading “Abusing Search Engine Results….Because I Can.”
