Want some male enhancement? New blouse bunnies? Extend that schlong. Spam can actually be fairly amusing at times – that is if it hasn’t just shut down your server, e-mail account or got you in trouble with your boss. I’m amazed at the number of names for intimate body parts they’ve thought up in the [...]

The only way to truly ruin a day is to have to deal with an irate customer or hair-splitting client. In one weekend job I had an indignant customer who complained because the assistants didn’t know how to give a refund in pounds to a customer who bought an item in France – before the [...]

“1xtra, 1xtra, News, News, 1xtra News”. Anyone who listens to the radio all day will understand what I mean when I say radio jingles suck. They repeat the title, or parts of the title several thousand times in different voices as though we don’t get the point. Anyone who has seen Family Guy season 5, [...]

A hideous phrase used by sancitmonious little brats all over the English speaking world. The reason for my distaste is exemplified in the film, “Cruel Intentions”, in which the unsuspecting Cecile is groomed to sexual awareness by the svelte and savvy Sebastian, only to bid him farewell with a two-finger peace-sign and the words “peace [...]

The other day we received a booklet through the post from John Howard. It provided guidance and advice on how to protect your children from the internet. I was pleased that Mr Howard had taken the time to explain the dangers of the internet to me because: (a) I don’t have any children, and; (b) [...]

The artistry and pure ingenuity of these animations is admirable -but why are they so strange? Nothing has ever quite disturbed me as watching these cartoons. Maybe it was just poor translation or maybe they really were as bizarre as the script suggested. Since Pokemon became so popular, people started to watch other Japanese manga [...]
