A few of the kids TV channels close down after about 9PM. Strangely, many keep on going, broadcasting on some mad continual loop. I’d love to know just how many people watch “Dora The Explorer” at 2.35 AM….

But that’s not what I love about them. I love the fact that they get pretty hammered every Sunday and stumble back about 8PM. Last night I was out when their taxi pulled up and they almost fell out of it. “Aaaallloo mate….”, said the guy, as he helped his wife out the car. She was holding. On to the door for dear life and managed to whistle (not sure why) and then started singing, “Old McDonald had a farm…”

So, neighbours. I salute you. :)

Imagine if those emails were offering knives. Imagine if those emails contained video advertisements. Now imagine if the person voicing the video had a bad-shit crazy accent.

Result ? This…

So, Google have got a licence from the state of Nevada for their driverless car. Here in the UK I doubt it would cope with the round-abouts and increased traffic, so I’ve been thinking.

How about a slimmed-down version here in Britain? Remove the overly stupid things on the roof and restrict these to just the hard-shoulder of Britains motorways and BOOM, you’ve got a moving bed.

Imagine, you drive yourself to the motorway, flick a switch and an alarm wakes you up when you reach the right junction.

Oh yes, I’m full of ideas today.

I’ve got an even cheaper solution involving a lasso and a Polish truck.

“The cloud”

What a crap name. In reality, the ideal solution for many is a protected, resilient, private virtual data centre. But hey, let’s just call it a “cloud”.

Clouds are fluffy white things in the sky. They float about and are damp. If they get too close to the ground everyone calls it “fog” and has trouble getting from A to B. These are not secure and solid places to store your data.

Given the choice, where would you stick your USB data stick? In a safe environment known as “the locker” or a safe environment known as “the cloud”.

Sorry.. perhaps it’s just me, but it bugs me :)

My son managed to stick this in our shopping trolley and has stuck it in my car. Trouble is, he took the outer wrapping straight off, and with yesterday being fairly wet I’ve driven around with the full force of a brand-new orange magic tree in my face.

It’s not just your sense of smell that gets attacked either. Yours eyes start watering and, for some odd reason, my ears started getting hot.

And all the while, the magic tree hangs there, smiling at me. Grrrr….

Be warned. Follow the instructions and only let a magic tree out a bit at a time, else you’ll feel the burn! :)

The worst bit has to be where Justin Timberlake shows hands-free technology whilst booking a train ticket, then he sends a picture message and says how glad he is that he’s “not on T-Mobile”. Bleugh. Pass the mind-bleach. One big fat advert.

Product placement OVERDRIVE…

Oh, and that’s not me, that’s Justin Timberlake..

But I’ve noticed something else.. Today someone walked into the staff toilets whilst talking on the phone. This alone isn’t unusual, people are usually finishing up a call, but this guy had literally just told the caller who he was and began to chat quite openly whilst using the urinals. This is also a little weird, especially to female readers, but toilets aren’t the best place to try and conduct conversations.

So, after washing my hands I had to dry them. It was then that both I and another guy washing his hands had the same idea. We both proceeded to take a huge amount of time – far longer than required – to dry our hands under the incredibly powerful hand-driers.

The guy tried to continue his call, but after shouting at the caller he eventually had to give in, unable even to drop the call because both his hands were “occupied” and he’d rested the phone against his shoulder.

Silly twunt…
