“To the Crazy-bat-shit-lady”

By Jonathan | Published: February 29, 2008
Right, it’s Friday and this is funny. Really funny I thought. It had me LOL, genuinely LOL – GLOL to be precise. Not quite ROTFL or even LMAOROTFL but GLOL none the less. See what you think. In a nutshell, man writes about a particularly crazy woman that bought his fridge. Funny entry gets picked [...]

More stats charting rise of digital

By Jonathan | Published: February 25, 2008
Jemima Kiss lists out the latest ABCes for the main newspapers. No surprises that the numbers are up year on year across the board, but as she points out, very interesting that more and more so lots of traffic is from outside the UK. More fuel for the fire in my mind which tells me [...]

Been meaning to write about Do The Green Thing for ages and now the guys over there have given me a really good reason to. Right now, there’s some Do The Green Thing people cooped up in a cold room waiting for people like you and me to go there and give them ‘hugs’. Using [...]

Coming soon: a change for me
