• Big Brother is watching you(r car)

    Scary stuff in today’s Independent: a new scheme to monitor UK drivers’ car journeys. Britain is to become the first country in the world where the movements of all vehicles on the roads are recorded. A new national surveillance system will hold the records for at least two years. Using a network of cameras that…

  • My brother is teh funnay

    My brother is easily amused. When a discussion about kilts and suits mentioned Miami Vice, he decided to see what I’d look like if I were Don Johnson. The answer is “stupid”.

  • Email still down, ish

    My email’s going up and down like a kangaroo on a spacehopper in a lift munching uppers and downers during an earthquake. Apologies to anyone waiting on a reply to emails – I’ll get them eventually. Honest.

  • Blasphemy ahoy

    This is either utterly reprehensible or the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages: The Passion Of The Christ with a soundtrack from the Benny Hill show.

  • New Eels CD/DVD coming out

    Eels are releasing a new CD and DVD in February: Eels With Strings. It was recorded during this year’s tour, which means it’ll be fabby. That’s a technical term.

  • Xbox 360 shortages: conspiracy or cock-up?

    ABC News reports the rumour that employees of games shops are nabbing pre-ordered Xboxes to flog on eBay. There’s precious little detail and even less evidence, but it’s already being reported as fact. According to The Inquirer: This would explain that while there are so many shortages, there seems to be no shortages of high…
