TV and films have got a lot to answer for, see examples in my previous posts regarding the Hollywood swallow and computer noises – to name just two. But today I’d like to bang on about the way people hold some objects on the telly. There is [...]

Get a grip on it!

Why do all American women and kids talk like they’ve been eating Helium?

Squeaky voices.

My reputation majestically sweeps before me. This is undoubtedly the best card I have received. Ever! I’m welling up.

Best birthday card ever!

Have you noticed the abnormal amount of time the media (and, it seems to me, the BBC in particular) gives to the American Presidential election? The whole process takes about a year and has only just started.

Expect screens to be bombarded almost weekly with ‘news’  of banal ‘candidates’ with zero charisma and cheesy grins [...]

Who the f**k are they?

So, the extractor hood in the kitchen dies. Off we go down to the electrical store to get a replacement. There’s a nice shiny replacement available for a reasonable price. On the box it says ‘Standard Fitting’, which I naïvely mistook for ‘old hood comes down, new hood goes in its place’.

Now I know I’m best at being grumpy, but I do like a good larf now and then, believe it or not.

I recently listened to Rick Wakeman on his Planet Rock radio show, on which there was a request for listeners to phone in to the show with the funniest names for [...]

Jedwank? Bluech? Fuck, it must be Euroshizen time again. I’m off out for a pint.

Why is it named Eurovision anyway? Surely it should be Eurosonic or Eurosound. Bloody misleading if you ask me!

Euroshizen.

A couple of nights ago I watched a boy, maybe 7 or 8 years old, kicking an empty bottle around the pavement, while (presumably) his mother watched on in silence.

The bottle predictably fell into the gutter and smashed. “You fucking twat!” shouted the mother. I couldn’t have put it better myself.
