After finally managing to properly impregnate my wife with my super sperm, I thought it might be nice to find a Christmas present to celebrate our success after previous bad luck. I wanted to give her a gift that was both for our unborn child and for her. I thought about clothes – being able [...]

Yes, we’re having a baby. I say ‘we’, obviously my wife is doing most of the leg-work, but it takes two you know. After grumbling that all the books you get (for ‘free’ (Bounty sneaky marketing)) are aimed at and written for women, my wife bought me a book entitled ‘Pregnancy for men, the whole [...]
Now I’m in my 30′s (and counting) and suddenly I realise why I should love my Dad and tell him more often than I do. Dad and I have never really been chums. To be honest, when I was young he was often grumpy, tired and irritable. I, as the eldest son, would suffer the [...]

Awwwwoooooga Awwwwoooooga this phone is stolen or lost…. That is the cry of an Android phone protected by Avast! Mobile Security. A new app I discovered just the other day completely by accident. I’ve always been a fan of Avast! Anti-Virus since I ditched Norton back in 2005, so I was thoroughly disappointed when I [...]
Before I write this, I just want to make it clear I am not rascist and I believe everyone is entitled to a job where ever they work, but really if you are going to work with English speaking people, you should probably be able to speak English…. I wrote to EA customer support because [...]
Google gets bombed with the C word

Google has quite a history of being abused and ‘gamed’ in order to manipulate the search results – usually for financial gain. Black hat SEO techniques were historically used to get business websites to the top of the listings fast. But in modern times such techniques are likely to get your website permenantly banned from [...]
The scurrying escapades of John the Squirrel

This was one of those moments where I wished I had the ability to take pictures or video with my eyes. One day, they’ll invent that and you won’t miss out on hilarious stuff like this. My wife and I were going out. I can’t remember where now, but it doesn’t matter. As I was [...]
Previously, I wrote about this – ‘Smart-ass responses to idiotic graffiti.’ In Norwich, there’s a chap, who has pretty much gone around the whole City tagging ‘Shook’ everywhere. Apparently someone doesn’t think much of him. Made me laugh.
How to prank a work colleague
Posted: 12th October 2011 by Age in RamblingsTags: How to prank a work colleague
Obviously, the following only works if you work in an office, with people that can take a joke and are not ruled by a boss who is a nazi dictator. You’ll also need to know your colleague’s username and password. The concept is simple. Colleague has speakers attached to their computer and they require a [...]
Mustachio makes even the most boring website amusing
Posted: 5th October 2011 by Age in RamblingsTags: chrome, moustche
I love Mustachio, it makes the web even more hilarious. I’ve got pretty much every browser under the sun at work – it’s part of my job after all. Safari, IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE tester, blah, blah, blah, each has it’s own use but all get used at one point or another. Chrome has a [...]
