  • Agile Made Good

    I find this funny, right here and right now. I suspect special courses, and special spectacles, exist that allow management to interpret what might essentially represent a good idea in this uniquely horrific way…

  • The Chair in Boo Garden

    I’m sitting in the garden right now writing this blog entry, having already twittered, Boo’d and updated my Facebook status. Despite approaching social networking with uncertainty from the outset, I now embrace Facebook, Twitter and similar outpourings like old friends. In many respects they are just that. I chat with more old school friends and…

  • Reading Firsts

    Yesterday, I started reading ‘Dreamsnake’ by Vonda N. McIntyre. My reading this book presents all sorts of personal firsts. Firstly, despite her success and science fiction literary awards, this will be the first time I have ever read a book by McIntyre. I like the idea of coming to an author for the first time,…

  • Intrigued Dot Com

    I find myself befuddled at the power of crap advertising. I’m sure most companies spend dissimilar amounts on advertising – some, like car ads, no doubt involve massive sums of cash falling into the hands of marketing people you wouldn’t care to share a meal with (for fear they might cause it to come back…

  • Caught By The Googles

    I was just gathering up the recycling this morning (around half an hour ago), on an otherwise ordinary day. I had sat down with a pile of unread newspapers and made sure I hadn’t missed anything obvious to keep for a more detailed read later. Then, I dropped the papers all in a plastic bag,…

  • Oh So True

  • Zuitable for Everyone

    In the distant past, Channel 4 provided an oasis of incredible alternative comedy that turned heads and raised smiles. In those days Vic and Bob were having a Big Night Out, Frank Skinner resided in My Blue Heaven, Robert Lindsey was funny in Nightingales and in the wee small hours of the late evening we…

  • If Molly and B&Q Got Together

    Sometimes you can’t keep a good post down. And, OK… this one definitely comes from an old post from the older than old version of Boreders. That promise of Summer in the not too distant future reminded me I had this lying around. The question I had to ask myself was – what if Molly…

  • Corpsing Today

    Charlotte Green had a fit of the giggles this morning on the 8am bulletin for the Today programme. I listened, with a smile spreading across my face, as I drove into work. This little moments make that commute all the more bearable. Dear Charlotte Green reported the news of an American researcher team who have…
