Bye bye old blog, hello shiny new blogsite
We’re done here, so get out and take your rubbish with you. New site goodness = www.betterwaytosaythat.com
Overqualified →
You shouldn’t hold someones criminal record against them. Unless they steal.
Canadian ISPs furious about Bell Canada's traffic... →
‘Bell Canada’s position is that the Canadian Internet belongs to it, and that it has the right and duty to simply toss out packets based on which protocol they’re running on, in order to maximize profits. This is the opposite of how the Internet works, and it’s a disaster. No one had to get permission from all the worlds’ phone companies in order to invent the Web, or...
Left Behind →
Some things will be missed, others not.
Come for the surgery, stay for the complications →
“Well if it isn’t my old friend Mr. McGregg — with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg”

Out of office reply →
Office worker one: I am just going outside and may be some time. Office worker two: Me too!
What's weirder than a dog with no front legs? →
A headless robot dog? Seems like a good guess anyway. I definitely want one to ride to work/pub/anywhere. I would name him Frank and he would be my bestest friend. I would program him to chase the neibours cat. Oh, how we would laugh!
Work quotes →
Cool list of quotes from Alterrnative Reel. It’s so nice outside….
Stuff White People Like →
I’ve put the list up of the articles written so far from this blog. Gives funny send-ups of what can be described as ‘white people culture’. Although he is taking the piss out of alot of the things I love it doesn’t have an offensive tone. Has a refreshing ‘laughing-at-yourself’ feel about it.
The RIAA are fucked? →
Probably not. But it nicely illustrates their worth to the industry.
Bristol's party of the year...surely?! →
It’s too late this year…but next year we need to make this a fixture!!
Warning: My head's going to explode →
or maybe I just think it’s going to explode when in fact everything explodes except my head. or god or whatever.
Warning: Saul's head may explode →
They just need to cross this over with a Mario game and there’ll be indoor fireworks (reference to Saul’s head exploding).
Awareness test →
Concentrate. Concentrate. Damn.
say goodbye to your afternoon →
(What is it with me and Nintendo?)
Famous Squirrel →
There’s a vote on to decide what theme Sugar Bush (the squirrel) should be dressed up as next. Includes: Navy Sailor - Pretty standard in terms of animal dress-up I would guess. Cowboy - Again, fairly standard, but with possible dog as a horse bonus. (Cute) Jack the Ripper - Kinda weird. Dressing up animals as serial killers probably will offend some people. (Nazi Squirrell?) Nude - What...
Did someone say anime mario?....No? Wellllll I'm... →
I guess this gives Cardy the right to post some building bollocks, but while we’re on the subject of cool manga art, See the Simpsons and Futurama.
Don't look now →
Scary Gnome stalks the streets of a small Argentine town. In all likelihood it’s a midget in a hood, but I’m not gonna be the one to ask him/it.
Why the web's addictive →
I can quit anytime. Just need to see todays BoingBoing. And a quick look on digg. And I haven’t looked at Cracked today yet… (3 hours later) ….shit! I’ve missed work again!
Crazy story →
‘Just me and my dog, watching some porn, you know, the usual, when all of a sudden…’ A widely underreported crime.
SXSW →
Best way to look at the line-up I’ve seen. Can check the bands out by day playing (starts today!) and by genre. coooool.
The more I read articles like this, the more I... →
We need Murphy to read this too
Films to annoy Murphy →
I feel this could probably be a series of posts. This one includes 80’s fantasy adventure films. Thinking about it this would probably annoy Saul and Dave too. Also, why does ‘annoy’ not feel like a real word? I think it looks weird.
3D Graffiti →
Now people can put there 9/11 conspiracy theories and that they were ‘ere (‘98) in the air. But seriously, this is a pretty cool gadget.
Less talky more makey →
Seriously.
SXSW web awards - wish I was there →
Scroll down for the full list of winners, seems to be some interesting ones I haven’t heard of.
'Better dead than red'. Really!? →
The lesson of the event is that if you act crazy enough you’ll get your own way. /proceeds to eat shoe to avoid his turn of washing up.
'Get my drink on' (Russian accent) →
They take drink-driving a bit further in Russia. Although, to be fair, one of the bottles he brought was for his bear co-driver.
'I fell in love with a female assassin' →
Nice article.
You know if your parents hate you when... →
It Christmas time, every kids most exiting day. The day where your weeks of pestering your parents pay off. No-one’s expecting them to get him the dragon he wanted, or the Samuri sword and he’s definitly not getting a motorcycle. An XBOX360? Seems reasonable.
Implosion? I thought you said explosion! →
Some pretty sweet demolition videos. Check out the ones synchronized with fireworks and the finale vid at least.
Hippie Space Communists →
A not-as-rare-as-you-think economics and Sci-Fi cross over. The title probably makes this sound more exiting than you’ll actually find it. But then again you’ll never know unless you click… …I bet you clicked
Cyber wildlife could produce us some "high grade"... →
I always wanted a romote control car/plane/boat… when i was younger, it was my boy hood fantasy!! When I finally got one at the tender age of 15 (!!) it still didn’t let me down, and I played with it for years. Now that these beauties have been developed, there is no chance in hell that my kids won’t be getting one for X-mas (assuming they get placed on market by that...
New Experiment Could Make Quantum Networks... →
It doesn’t look paticularly complicated to set up either. I’m getting one for christmas.
Imagine the scenario...
You’re heading to work. You’re trying to find a space to park your car. You see your flat mate who explains that he stayed at his girlfriends last night but he has forgot his keys to his office and needs to get back to the flat. You offer to take him back to the flat, as your boss isn’t in so it doesn’t matter if you are a few minutes late, where on the other hand your...
Dont fuck it up this time →
You might not care about this at the moment, but when it comes out, Im probably going to be bitching about it (although it looks like they’ve put some thought into it this time). Just giving you a heads up.
Fuck the MPAA - episode 2 (or is it three?) →
You’ve probably allready seen this, but still. And 2007 wasn’t exactly a stellar year either: Pirates 3? Spiderman 3? Fucking Harry Potter 6 or something? Die hard minus the goodness? Good work on originality there guys. /end rant
Mayor orders citizens not to die →
These are orders I can live with. But it makes you wonder what other crazy schemes he’s got going for the towns other problems. I imagine it probably involves using red juice as fake blood to persuade your attorney, who has vital evidence against you, that he’s killed a stripper so he flees the country. or whatever.
A free legal high? Sure I'll go for... →
…wait…why are you squatting over that bottle?
Ace recap of Lost episode →
Worth checking out, some stuff that I hadn’t caught anyway. Definitely check out Novikov’s theory for some explaination to the time travelling that actually makes any sense. But still, what the fuck’s the black smoke!?
Perry Bible fellowship enters semi retirement →
Bad news: Awesome web comic slows down production. Good news: Their creator is going to spend his time writing and making movies, which will hopefully follow the webcomics theme of violent, pointless, tragic, hilarious death.
And now the actors want to strike... →
…gold! It’s poor jokes like that make me glad the writers are not on strike any more. I’m only gonna be upset by this if it affects Arrested Development.
Seth Godin - Music Industry →
It’s obviously undergoing/gone a major change. Really nice article about the then and now differences, with some indication of how things might go. Musicians take note!
The Lizardman is back →
And 1950’s Sci-Fi B-movies have pissed him off. Rargrahrrrerr - My impression of what his roar sounds like. Impressive, no?
I hate to sound like a crazy-anti-Bush guy, so I... →
Or, get a dummy, tie some string to it from your door handle, record a tape of you snoring and you’re all set.
Video game sales bigger than music sales in UK. →
Rich Murphy reported to have said: “For fucks sake. Even geeks are getting more money than bands now”. Go team video games!
