Inga from Sweden

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 28, 2010

Oh my life, there could be a lot of Sweden-related stuff on this site over the coming weeks, and yet I’m not even definitely going to the bloody place yet – though the forthcoming service on the car (and, naturally, how much it costs) will dictate the answer.
Anyway, back on thread. Here’s “Inga from Sweden” [...]

 (Not) worldwide

A splendid piece of YouTube logic.

What should I do?
No action is required on your part. Your video is still available worldwide.
Fantastic. [...]

 Wrist ache

Posted by Skytower on Fri January 22, 2010

Although it’s no doubt meant as a serious article, this item on Digital Spy gave me the biggest belly laugh of the day. Yes, it’s true – sexual intercourse may cause wrist ache, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. Good news for the lazy bastards amongst us (i.e. me), as it’s a great excuse to make [...]

 Effed feed

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 21, 2010

Apologies to anyone (or possibly everyone) for whom the RSS/Atom feed for this site is stuffed up. I’ve only just noticed myself that it doesn’t appear to be working, and it’s clearly only since the templates were switched, natch.
Can’t find the fault right now, but give me time – I will!

 Low flying television

Posted by Skytower on Wed January 20, 2010

Despite not having lived in Nottingham now for around eight months, it doesn’t stop me keeping up to date with the neighbourhood news there.
And, it seems, if you live in the Radford area, there’s a new hazard to be aware of. Never mind who’s lurking around the corner, you now need to be aware of [...]

Wow… have you ever seen one this big before…?!

Love the woman’s expression, too!

Ahhh, tune.
So, what plans are there for 2010, you may not be asking? Well, not many, as usual – I’m not one for saying “I’ll do this, I’ll do that” – but there are a couple of things that I’d like to achieve, certainly over the next few months.
The first, and foremost, is the one [...]

 Sledging

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 14, 2010

Nope, not that sort. Nor the cricketing sort, for once – and given the performance turned out today by the England team, it’s probably best to move on anyway.
Instead, two interesting, if unusual, examples of people’s enjoyment of the recent snow. All I will say is… hasn’t it bloody melted yet? Go away, you evil [...]

 Facelift

Posted by Skytower on

A bit of a facelift to the site: a change of theme, a bit of a lick of paint… and long overdue.
Depending on what time you’re viewing this, I’m either still working on it (with bits coming and going every few minutes, complete with a totally naff header and weird flowery bits), or I’ve run [...]

 Resolute

Posted by Skytower on Mon January 11, 2010

Yeah, yeah, happy new year, and all that guff.
So, 2010 is eleven days old already. Christmas already seems like ages back (thank god), the country has taken on the truest look of winter imaginable (can anyone remember what colour tarmac is?), and the date is yet another binary figure (11/01/10… next one will be 01/10/10, [...]
