The Beat Goes On
August 29th, 2007So I have aged another year: no longer able to call myself an early twenty-something. Comfortingly, paranoid glances in the mirror reveal that crows feet are still a long way off. On the other hand, it seems neural degeneration has commenced in earnest. The most adult conversation had whilst making dinner this evening occurred after [...]
Charlotte Church intimidates me
March 3rd, 2007Barely 21, Welsh songstress-turned-TV-sleb Charlotte Church has announced that she’s preggers. Come on Charlotte, just slow down and let the rest of us feel good about our achievements! You’ve already been a child star, successfully morphed your angelic-voiced 13-year-old self into a filthy-sounding twenty-something vixen without going off the rails like one of your American [...]
Neighbours at Christmas
December 25th, 2006Check this out. Especially Harold’s dancing… {via lowculture}
Never mind, Mark Lamarr
November 24th, 2006How 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 [...]
Not a spoof
October 11th, 2006Least-appropriately named eyewitness in the history of television, on Flickr. Whilst waiting for Broken News to start on BBC4, we were wondering whether they’d accidentally started broadcasting it on BBC News 24 when we heard a telephone interview given by the least-appropriately named eyewitness in the history of television…
On the glorious return of This Life
September 27th, 2006Last week’s news of a one-off feature-length This Life extravaganza has had me making all sorts of excited noises. I doubt it will resolve the gnawing in my stomach when series two ended with all manner of cliffhangers in 1997. Foolishly I believed that rewatching all the episodes this summer would give me some closure, [...]
Wibble wobble
May 7th, 2006Rather unexcitingly, I’ve been having one of those indeterminate little life wobbles recently, in which I’ve been feeling a little unsettled and generally grumpy most of the time. In an effort to shake this, I’ve been going out and seeing all sorts of good music, and consuming some wonderful things. None of these seems to [...]
The IT Crowd
February 6th, 2006So who watched this on Channel 4 on Friday night? I hadn’t really intended to, but then I was struck down by the most violent cold I’ve had for a while, so I had no option but to guzzle smoothie and vegetate in front of our dinky little tellybox. My initial thoughts? In no particular [...]

With a capital S. A slightly naughty theme tune Method: 1. Four women in randomly chosen clothes from the Warehouse of Dysfunction appear. [...]

♪ striking a note on the web- Why *BBC* Dimensions? :: On Newsnight a couple of weeks ago, Emily Maitlis chaired a discussion between David McCandless (author of Information is Beautiful) and Neville Brody on displaying statistics and historical facts in unusual, interesting and relative ways. That's the BBC I like. Like Rich, I'm not sure the BBC needs another website (not hosted at the BBC, either) to fawn over now but forget about later.
- Seth Priebatsch: The game layer on top of the world :: Farmville has more users than Twitter. Eek.
- BBC Genome: The Complete Broadcast History of the BBC :: This is a really lovely project.
- Dear 8 year-old Teresa :: Teresa Juniso gets a 21-years-too-late letter from the Wil Wheaton fan club she tried to join in 1988.
- Is the web really dead? :: Debunking Wired's graph showing overall web traffic shrinking. Proportionally it may be declining, but in volume absolutely not.
- Journalism Warning Labels « Tom Scott :: Want some of these!
- What cyclists can be fined for :: These are way too lenient. I'm forever being run over by cyclists on zebra crossings.
- How To Be Alone :: Lonely is healing if you make it
- Best goal celebration ever! :: Iceland's football league do something a bit fishy when they get one in the net (via @spaceboy)
- Fabulous Ex-Gay Explains How Straight He Is :: "I used to have the best-looking boyfriend on the Castro". LOL.
- Clare Balding vs AA Gill :: "It may be your job to defend your writer and your editorial team but if you really think that homophobia does not exist and was not demonstrated beyond being ‘the butt of a joke’ then we have a problem."
- Time Machine Editor :: Handy little app which gives control over how frequently your Mac will back up.
And the rest...
