My family was always about words and stories. I remember from a very early age having story tapes with songs and books to read along. The first “grown up” audiobook i remember hearing was Trial Run by one of my favourite authors, Dick Francis (maybe one of the reasons I like him so much [...]
I like the Simpsons, although I haven’t watched it for ages. I fell into watching it on SKY ONE when we got cable in but now:
the Muppets at Virgin can’t work out how to get me Sky One
I’m never in at the right time
Anyhoo, now that the simpsons Movie is coming out I decided to check [...]
No, it’s not time for “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue“, I just wanted to record a site which I found recently (almost certainly via BoingBoing.) It’s a site dedicated to cheesy records and compilations which are no longer available, and it’s called Way Out Junk. There are MP3 files available for download and [...]

In the meantime [...]

There’s a Petition to the Pirme Minister to look at more sensible copyright laws.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to create a new exception to copyright law [...]
I love Wikis, but I can never say the word without thinking of that Will Smith song Wild Wild West
