windows-movie-maker.org is a scam

Sorry, that’s much of a punchy title for the first new post in over a year, but the only punching I want to do right now are ones aimed at the scamming gits behind windows-movie-maker.org. Movie Maker is a nice, easy to use video editor that Wibs had on his old laptop.  So we downloaded it, […]

A new plan

I want to discover a fundamental force of nature. What I’ll do is give it the unit of a “manilli”. Everyone will wonder why until they realise what 1/1000th of a manilli is. Then they will get that awful tune stuck in their head and hate me.

It’s a bit quiet isn’t it?

I’ve not had much to say for myself recently.  Obviously I’ve had no interesting thoughts since June, and then it was about getting bits of metal out of a skip.  What a life I must lead. Highlights since the last blog entry: Fixed the brakes on my bike Fixed the washing line Poisoned two rats […]

A cunning plan

Here’s how to get rich. 1.  Hire an empty shop for a couple of weeks. 2.  Find a sofa/bed/whatever shop that is doing one of these “if you can find it cheaper, we’ll give you double the difference” deals. 3.  Buy a sofa/bed/whatever from the shop. 4.  Sell  it in your shop at 1/2 the […]

I have a dream

Mine wasn’t as noble as MLK’s. I dreamed I was sleeping with Bruce Forsythe for his money. It was horrible. He was all wrinkly and smelt of gin.

A Grand Day Out

The nightmare journey of a what seems like a thousand miles begins with me saying “why don’t we go and see Thomas the Tank Engine at the Nene Valley Railway?” I blame Jen. My record for organising things isn’t good; I once booked a seaside holiday in what I was told was a “lovely chalet”, […]

My daily bread

Apropos of nothing, here is my recipe for bread that I use with my Panasonic SD254 bread maker. 300g Good quality strong flour (Hovis Strong bread flour) 175g Cheapo strong flour (Tesco strong bread flour) 5ml Tesco fast acting yeast 7.5ml Sugar 5ml Salt 1/4 Tsp Ground ginger 20g butter 2.5ml Vinegar 315ml Water Put […]

Life after death?

I was walking back to the house, having just done a quick milk dash to the Coop with young Jimbo in the buggy. As I passed the church on the way back, I saw a poster in the window. It said: Life After Death? and had one of those thingies on the right here next […]

Mopping up

Long time no drivel. I’ve been hanging around at Blah Your Branes, which is a site dedicated to taking the piss out of people who post to the BBC’s “Have Your Say” board. It might sound a bit odd, but have a look if you aren’t easily offended. Now, to business. I received this rather […]

Bad math tax

Adverts for the UK lottery make me want to rant. So I will. Let’s give it up for the optimists out there. Don’t just dream of being a lucky winner – think big and think positive, as those dreams could come true. No they won’t. Sorry to be a spoilsport here, but you will not […]
