South Park Me

Sometime back, a mate showed me an episode of South Park called 'Stupid Spoilt Whore Video Playset".

Come what may

My recent post wrongly implied that my UK work Visa had been approved, alas that wasn't the case. Now it is! And I am really excited. The last 12 months has contained a lot of challenges, things that I have wanted slipped through my fingers. Opportunities that appeared to offer …Read the Rest

You look Fabuous – BOOM

I am trying to figure out if these things are fakes, or if they actually work.

Doctor Who to get axe in 2008

This was reported in a sad British Tabloid (who I will not dignify by naming or linking to) presumably to get them selves Slashdotted to drive up ad revenue. I doubt it's true – but if it is I will find the responsible parties, give them a sound talking to …Read the Rest
