Donkeys: Ninjas of the Animal Kingdom

I reckon I’m going to get me a pet donkey. 
For one thing it’d be a really useful thing to have when you’ve just arrived back from the supermarket and have more carrier bags in the trunk of your car than you’re able to take inside with you in one go.
But mainly it’s because they are the [...]

My Karaoke Shame

Being a cruel and evil bastard who loves nothing more than a good bit of schadenfreude (enjoyment taken from the misfortune of others), I must admit to enjoying the first few episodes of each series of Pop Idol/American Idol (or whatever they call it in your particular country).
Like the rest of you, I’m sure, I’m [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – How to Blag a Job in Marketing (Part Two)

This is, sadly, the last part of my half-arsed attempt at writing my first book – the second part of how to get ino the field of marketing.
I know, it’s pretty pathetic that I gave up after less than 5000 words.  But here it is anyway …
The route I used was by pretending that I [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – How to Blag a Job in Marketing (Part One)

Finally you get to read a bit of the content from my half-arsed attempt at writing my first book, which didn’t even get as far as halfway through the first chapter before I completely lost interest in it.  Hopefully my boredom threshhold has grown a little wider since then.
So here is the first half of [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – (A Little Too) Foreward

Some more from my book that never was too be (becaue I was just too lazy to get more than halfway through the first chapter).
This time it’s the Foreward.  In most cases, I don’t know why people write them.  I feel that, as if to get my money’s worth from a book, I should read [...]

Marketing Is Bollocks – The Ego Has Landed

Another (small) piece from the book I started about marketing.
After writing the blurb, I went straight on to write about my favorite subject – me.
A decade ago, this wasn’t half as interesting following the madness that happened over the next ten years, but this is what I wrote anyway…
About The Author
Having the attention span of a [...]

Dolphins: Geeks of the Animal Kingdom

I’ve always wanted to punch a dolphin.
This would be the only reason why I would want to learn to dive.  However, I discovered that diving is really hard.  I thought that you just strapped a gas bottle to your back, sucked on a tube and jumped in.  But then my girlfriend took a course and [...]

Talk Like A Pirate Day

Does anyone know where I can download a keygen for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from?
That’s my sole contribution.
I can see that the whole Talk Like A Pirate thing getting boring though if they hold it year after year.  I think the idea of having an annual Talk Like A … day is kinda fun, but [...]

The British: We’re A Bit Bonkers Really

From the title of my blog alone, the majority of readers should instantly know that I am British – the word ‘bollocks’ being a quintessentially British word, which is why I like using it so much.
While many Americans might understand the word, few of them can pronounce it properly – it just comes out as baw-larks which, [...]

Funny YouTube Clips (For Old Music Nerds)

It was only as a result of making the research for the ‘Music and Me’ series of postings that I have come to realize exactly how much stuff there really is on YouTube.  I had absolutely no idea that there really was that much stuff on it.
It’s really quite hard to find anything that’s not [...]
