Google Ad Gaffe

I took this screen capture a little while ago and then forgot to blog it – my apologies for my tardiness. It just goes to show how seemingly innocuous words can be picked up by automation in software with very amusing results. Click the thumbnail to see the full size image, and take note of the google [...]

My tighty whiteys are no more!

ARGH! My tighty whiteys are now tighty yellowish… They are a fetching shade of ‘duster left in washing machine by flatmate’. Any suggestions of how to successfully bleach ‘duster yellow’ out of white underpants? (shhhhh – don’t tell him, but I could also use some tips on how to get ‘duster yellow’ out of daddy’s 1st edition ‘Chunk London’ [...]

What's wrong with yellow pants? Surely they'll hide the dribble stains unlike white ones?

Technojoy holding so far….

OK, I am into my second day with the Orange SPV E650 and my technojoy is still with me. It is taking some adjusting to it from my Sony Ericsson W810i, mainly as my phone before that was a Sony Ericsson K750i, but so far it isn’t dampening my ardour for my new gadget. Manual? What manual? [...]

The Royal Oak saved my Sunday

Well a rather damp and dismal Sunday afternoon became more disappointing after our visit to the Soundwaves exhibition. So Paul/’daddy’ suggested we walk up to Columbia Road and regroup over a pint and some food in a pub he knew. What a great pub it turned out to be! Sundays are made for pubs like The Royal Oak! Great [...]

Soundwaves – a review

Soundwaves – A collaboration between Kinetica Museum and Cybersonica.

When I heard that ‘Kinetica’s next major exhibition will focus on artworks that explore, warp, collect and manipulate sound.’ (to quote their website) I was a little excited. Having been to events like The Photophonic Experiment and also The Kitchen Motors, I was hoping for a similar quality. Sadly, [...]

Chunk – The Return

Well it must have been a good night on Friday – because I still have a hangover and its now Sunday afternoon. Chunk has moved from its old home to Area in Vauxhall, and I think its a good move. It was certainly very busy. I also enjoyed it immensely as it was my first night out [...]

Oh yeah…. Hydro

Finally, I started my hydrotherapy program, and it was actually really good. The pool is at a very comfortable 34°C and I was amazed at how good it felt to have the brace off, and be able to move my arm around supported by the water. Your buoyancy means that you can exercise the relevant part of [...]

Hell – defn.

If you were to look up the word ‘Hell’ in the dictionary, you would find the following description…. Hell – The week before the start of Sale at Selfridges as seen from the point of view of the organising staff. Constantly moving goalposts, late deliveries of equipment, short tempers, changes of mind and plan, long hours, paperwork [...]
