The King and I — my Elvis Marathon.
16 August 2010 – 1:53 pm
Pleased to have one less thing in common with the Wonder Stuff, I do love Elvis. I love the hillbilly cat and the jumpsuited entertainer, and to prevent disillusionment I find it fairly easy to avoid watching the films — it’s not as if they are in heavy rotation on our mainstream channels these days.

Sometimes anger is both justified and honourable.
One Sunday, and Saturday, with Sidie
22 June 2010 – 1:27 am
I really can’t put my finger on where I first came across Frank Sidebottom, logic would dictate that I’d have spied him on one of his regular appearances on Number 73 but there aren’t any memories I can dredge up. I know I watched it every so often, but apart from the theme tune there’s [...]
The Passion of the Cripes
20 June 2010 – 3:31 pm

25 May 2010 – 3:04 pm

I just didn’t see how it was worthy of [...]
NYC Wifi
14 March 2010 – 1:37 pm

O2 New Street Birmingham Insurance Rip-Off
Boring post this, it’s just for Google to in case any other people are looking to see what’s happened. I popped and got an iPhone 4 the other day, it’s nice (and it won’t cost me much once I recycle the old 3G – and the battery was dying). I decided to stay with O2, [...]
