Wifey asked me to knock up a birthday list. I got a bit carried a way and completely unrealistic. One is allowed to dream though…. Here you go. I’m not sure how much you intend to spend and I dont expect you to spend much, but just in case, here is everything i can think [...]

The Book of Eli (Review)
Posted: 30th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: denzel washington, film, review, the book of eli
I’d be wanting to watch The Book of Eli since I saw the trailer for it when it was released at the cinema. I was intrigued by the apparently religious plot, the desolate back-drop and the action. Clearly any film with Denzel Washington in it would be worth a watch. He’s a fine and talented [...]
This is my time machine and other clever retorts

I have written about him before, but this chap is so witty that he deserves another mention. David Thorne, ala 27bslash6, writes e-mails. That’s no big feat, we all do that. Most of us do it on a daily basis. But Mr Thorne writes a very different e-mail. The sort of e-mail that destroys its [...]
Change is good – even if it’s scary
Posted: 28th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: change, ebs, enemy boat spotted, gaming community, gentlemen, honourable
It’s a well known fact that change is good. Change is also known to be scary.. Changes are afoot. Changes I’ve instigated, but ones others are helping to fulfil. The consequences of which should be interesting to behold. If you’re wondering what I’m jabbering on about, let me refer you to a previous article I [...]
Tesco are sneaky bastards

Tesco are sneaky bastards, that’s the title for this post. Although perhaps it would have been more correctly titled “it doesn’t pay to be honest”. My headset broke at the weekend. Not sure what happened really, it just stopped working. Yes, I’m a massive geek and I need a headset to be able to talk [...]
The internet is full of too much information
Posted: 27th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: personal details, tmi, too much information
The internet is full of too much information and I’m not just talking about the meaning behind the sexual act of “snowballing”. I was having a conversation with Kodabar earlier about how easy it is to obtain peoples information via the wonderful world of the internet. Curious about a recent commentor on the blog we [...]
You can catch more flies with vinegar than honey
Posted: 27th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in Interesting DiscoveriesTags: apple vinegar, fruit flies, i cant spell..., vinegar, You can catch more flies with vinegar than honey
Not all old wives tales are true. You can’t believe everything you read/hear. You know how it goes – “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”. Humbug. It’s not always true. Today, proof that you can actually catch more flies with vinegar. Sure, it might be “apple” vinegar, but it’s still vinegar! Next week; [...]
Re-badging, de-badging and False badging
Posted: 24th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: car badges, GTi, TDi, V5
On the way to work this morning I saw a VW Golf parked at the side of the road. A GTi badge on the back, a V5 badge on the front…. It got me thinking. Why do people do that? I don’t understand the logic. Why would you badge your car to make people think [...]
Chris Moyles is a wanker
Posted: 24th September 2010 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: chris moyles, media, news, wanker
It’s all over the news, Radio 1 “DJ” Chris Moyles has been ranting about not being paid for the last two months. Perfectly understandable, none of us would be happy about that. But was there any need to do it live on air? Surely a phone call to HR would have been sufficient? It’s dead [...]
