Bad Advertising
Well, I've seen it all now. I've just been in a gents toilets in a shopping centre in Nottingham in which there was a poster advertising cheaper car insurance... for women.

New PWL Music Video
In case you hadn't seen it already, I just wanted to bring your attention to the stunning new music video - Tree Of Knowledge - from Pagan Wanderer Lu. Christians like you are why God invented lions.
Normal service will be resumed just as soon as I can get five minutes in which to … -
Really Bad Erotica For Dummies
In a recent post (The Magic Of BiCon) I mentioned that some new friends and I had spent some time reading bad erotica (store-bought, would you believe it, not home-made) to one another. I just thought I'd take a moment to share with you exactly how awful some of this literary pornography was.
It was almost … -
Am I Potter Or Not?
Looking forward to the new Harry Potter book? Me neither. But if you are, here's a quick distraction for you: Potter Or Not!

Troma Night Drinking Rules, Version 3
Paul and I (okay, okay, mostly Paul) have re-written the Troma Night drinking rules to better reflect how Troma Night works nowadays, to be more fun and interesting, to actually be online, and to give even more opportunities to invite alcohol-induced catatonic states into your film-watching experience. See The Troma Night Drinking Rules, Version 3 …

10 Computer Games That Stole My Life
I don't actually play many computer games: I'm quite selective. Sure, I try out each and every "next big thing," but in general, I'm left unimpressed. Sometimes, however, a computer game is released that actually steals my life for months or years - something I come back to time and time again. Something that actually … -
A Few Links To Share
A few links I wanted to share with you to brighten up your day:
A sign seen on Music Zone, Preston's door, as snapped by Dave.
The Mr. Lee CatCam - a great example of why geeks should not be allowed to own cats. Great photos from the travels of an everyday housecat, … -
1/0
On Ruth's recommendation, I've been reading 1/0 (One Over Zero), a webcomic that ran from 2000-2003. It's remarkably clever, drawing ideas about religion and philosophy and determinism and morality into a silly little abstract universe of it's author's (Tailsteak) creation. It could be said to be fourth-wall breaking, except for the fact that it never …

Boys On Hills
Helen pointed out [facebook link] that this photo looked like an advertisement for a new boy band.
Now it does even more.

Plasma Pong
I promised Jimmy I'd try not to distract him with computer games that would appeal to him while he's revising. It turns out I lied.
I've just discovered Plasma Pong. It's like Pong - you know, two paddles, a ball, that whole lark - except it mixes the genre up with some of the fastest … -
Best Conspiracy Theory Ever
This has to be the best conspiracy theory I've ever read: this guy believes that the Galileo space probe that NASA crashed into Jupiter in 2003 (to avoid it being left in an unstable orbit and potentially crashing into Europa, which could affect the scientific value of the moon) is starting a nuclear reaction that …

An Experiment I Want To Try
Scott Adams has just written an article proposing an experiment that I'd like to try. Research has shown that people are significantly more likely to believe something that conflicted with their previous beliefs if they write about it: in the experiments that lead to this discovery, volunteers were asked to write about a viewpoint other …

Kid Radd
Have just read Kid Radd, a webcomic that ran for a few years awhile back. It's a story told from the perspective of - and through the medium of - retro video game sprites. And it rocks. It's moderately funny and sometimes clever, but it's full of fantastic random geekery that tickled me quite a …

Treehouse Breakfast; Q (Again); Troma Night
Claire, Jimmy, Paul and I just had breakfast at The Treehouse. They were doing an "all you can eat" Fair Tade buffet - basically; heaps of muesli, organic bananas, breads, and other hippy goodies. It was nice to do something different, but I'm not sure it was worth the fiver it cost.
Overheard a …
