This fortnights edition of Private Eye is quite good.
The two stand-outs for me though were the ingenuously fuelled letter about classical music with the quote the capital is positively stiff with magnificent organs.
The second is the large column with outrage that a comedian has been dumped from a festival, the comedian in question being Paul [...]
One of the areas I wanted to write a few pieces about, but have neglected, was the strangeness of the English language.
Those that know me in person know I love puns and wordplay. I can generally be found giggling at something which amuses me which I then have to explain to others who hadn’t noticed [...]
On Saturday, Genna and I attended an event with a group who funded her business. They had some space at a corporate event day.
Anyhoo, the two amusing things prompting the title.
Firstly posh portaloos. They had hired the poshest portaloos I had ever seen. The sinks were bowls on raised daises. They had motion sensor activated [...]
I have no idea who she is but I like her style

i finally managed to see Rob Deb’s comedy show. I couldn’t manage the past two years but after seeing the stuff in SciFi Now was more determined to go. Being on earlier made it easier too.
He was really, really funny. Lot’s of nerdy material, references but also stuff non-geeks could get related to his attempt [...]
Amused today to read about some cretin who claims to be allergic to wi-fi.
Of course it will be no surprise to know the rag source of this garbage is the Hitler supporting Daily Mail.
Of course if such a claim were true the DJ would be in luck, with a profile and a paranormal ability he [...]
I am used to seeing all the scam letters Genna gets from SEO companies guaranteeing first place on Google etc. Lately she has been getting pestered by phone calls.
Today she had one from Google.
Or at least a company impersonating Google.
The company was First Search Consulting. A bunch of snake-oil selling cowboys.
I won’t link to their [...]
I just finished reading two books I grabbed cheap in Virgin, Zavvi, Head.
First up was Mark Thomas with As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela: Underground Adventures in the Arms and Torture Trade. This was really interesting, funny and horrifying in equal doses. Some brilliant anecdotes of groups set up to take on arms dealers.
Next [...]
So the Inbetweeners has come to the end of series 2. After the disappointment of series 3 of Skins this was a breath of fresh air. Some really funny moments couple with some really cringe worthy moments.
The final episode had Neil with the best quote of the series though.
ghost stories like Harry Potter and the [...]
It appears the management of La Rebla Fam made a boo boo.
They sent out moronic street teamers. They spammed forums etc. When they spammed UGS the users ripped the piss out of them. Now their management have noticed that the thread on UGS has a Google ranking of 2, just behind the band site. This [...]
