I’m no artist, and design is not my thing (this site is testament to that), but in the craze over the 2012 olympics logo (which looks like our old patio on speed), people might overlook the fact that the London 2012 landing page is even worse. It’s a complete horror featuring an eye-bleeding swatch of [...]
Straight men of the world: do you listen to Cyndi Lauper at full volume on the tube? Do you just want to have fun? You big Girl?
23°C in Ealing today, so the first 99 of the year was consumed. Things I noticed whilst buying my sugar high: A medium 99 with a flake and a little bit of strawberry goop now costs £1.60. Ice cream men all look the same: curly mullet and massive hands. Strawberry goop still not on sale [...]
In true grown-up-before-our-time fashion, us Ealing folk have been regularly partaking in a local pub quiz under the genius name of Crouching Woman, Hidden Cucumber for nearly a year. It mainly entails us ending up with a middling score (apart from weeks when there are questions on The Wizard of Oz) and listening to the [...]
Sinister trees in Walpole Park, on Flickr. According to Robyn, “floompchk” is officially the sound that snow makes underfoot. Kinky.
Upon hearing of the tornado in Kensal Rise, that bastion of intelligent broadcasting, Sky News, were overheard interrogating a meteorologist: Newsreader: You’re a weatherman, why didn’t you tell us this was coming? Weatherman: ummm… I suppose the newsreader then went on to ask the weatherman if he could conjure up a lightning strike to punish [...]
How good is Never Mind The Buzzcocks these days? Last night’s episode with John Barrowman and Daniel Be-ding-ding-ding-field was a masterpiece. Between bouts of coughing, we were all in stitches – even Davros, despite his disdain for all things poofy. Hoorah Simon Amstell. I wish I’d shaken you by the hand that one time I [...]
This morning, a four-mile journey to work took me an hour and a half. As previously documented, I could have completed the journey a third quicker on foot. So here’s a useful tip for anyone living in London who’s had similarly miserable experience – lousy journeys can be claimed for online using tfl’s customer refunds [...]
Carrots in the sunshine, on Flickr. So my 23rd birthday will forever be remembered as the one in which four larger-than-life fruit & veg stall workers boomed out Happy Birthday at the top of their lungs at me. I was red as beetroot for about an hour afterward… Stealing: Mary‘s ’3 things at the bottom [...]
We saw Superman Returns last night at London’s IMAX, and if you’re planning on seeing it then I recommend you browse away IMMEDIATELY because I’m about to spoil everything for you in quite some graphic, cape-tearing detail. I’d forgotten about the wonder of the Y-front-shaped 3D glasses and the resultant action scenes which occur in [...]
