Stop what you are doing. Right now. I don’t care, its not that important. No really. You will thank me. Good. Now go and read late_bland’s story, possibly the funniest piece of writing I’ve seen about the Rugby World Cup. Right, thats me done with rugby references. At least until the Six Nations starts in …

Ladies and Gentlemen, may we present
Thanks to this year’s Guardian Unlimited – best of British blogging awards (and Scary Duck) we bring you two crackers; Call Centre Confidential The Bottle Shop: On the arcade Both of which will be appearing on the left hand side of this page just as soon as I can be bothered to updated it. Rest …
Geek Factor Increased Again
Once more I must ratchet up the geek factor. Now you can go to a web page and find out what music I’ve been listening to. If that isn’t a pretty pointless use of technology I don’t know what is. Oh hang on, there’s more. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed containing the …
Entertainment Horror
I for one shall not be watching the International Idol contest whenever it appears on the television in these parts. Words can do no justice to the disdain and I feel for this brand of entertainment. You know, it would all be so much better if they could at least sing.
Nerd Factor 11
So, its been sitting on my mental "to do" list for a couple of years and tonight, when SWMBO popped out for a couple of sherbets with the ladies from Nappy Valley, I thought I’d solve a little mathematical problem. Each year (apart from this year) we have a Christmas celebration dinner at the Watermark …
Lordy, Cookery and Nerding
Look, I’m cool because I was doing it first. Jamie Oliver has a blog. He’s copied my title, software of choice, cheeky persona and everything. Mind you, I’m about a good a cook as he is a software developer so I reckon we are about even.
The Weekend, and Other Things
An interesting weekend for the Todds. On Saturday morning I visited the cheeky, chirpy, Chelsea loving Cockney barber. He’s still not a patch on the unofficial Mayor of Manly (Rocky) but he has managed to make me look vaguely presentable. Then on to deepest, darkest Sussex for a ride on the Bluebell railway’s Santa special. …
Keeping Up With the Web
Its been a while, and frankly I hadn’t been checking, but Bobo’s favourite restaurant in the whole wide world now has its own web site. Say hello to Ribs and Rumps. If the menu isn’t enough to tempt you through their doors, how about the celebrity endorsements? I don’t know about you, but anywhere that …
New Desktop Wallpaper
Whilst I’m having a quick surf around the BBC sport web site at 11pm on a Monday night, here is something for Jonny Palmer to put on his desktop – some quality wallpaper.
Bugger
I missed the parade today because I was on a train on the West Coast main line. Having watched every game of the world cup I’m a little dis-chuffed that I couldn’t join in the celebration and applaud the best team in the world. Even worse, on a personal front, is that I’ll be back …
