Ho! Ho! Ho! I’ve got the duck in the oven, the cranberry and orange relish is made, all the vegetables are prepared, and I’ve got a glass of Shiraz in my hand, so I thought I’d pop along to say “Happy Christmas!” to anyone dropping by World of Badger today (you must be bored if [...]
Well I’ve just got back after seeing The Return of the King in Brixton and it was very, very good. But not quite as brilliant as I had hoped, to tell the truth.
The acting was first class, the attention to detail was insane, the battle scenes epic, and the special effects flawless, but sadly it [...]
Just been watching TV with the sound down, and from what I can gather, the singer from Kings of Leon has been arrested in Iraq…
Finally got round to seeing the Lord of the Rings Exhibition at the Science Museum yesterday, which features costumes, weapons, props (Gandalf’s toffee pouch!) and techy gubbins from the film trilogy. Ten quid to get in is perhaps a little steep, but I’m glad I went really as there were some fantastic pieces on display, [...]

Need some ideas for Christmas gifts for a Michael Jackson fan? Sadly the section on Amazon where customers recommend alternatives to Wacko’s “Number Ones” album seems to be “temporarily unavailable”… Possibly because the list of suggested products (genuinely) ended up like this just before it was removed:
Top customer recommendations in addition to “Number Ones” - [...]
Tony Bliar told us invading Iraq would make Britain safer, despite British intelligence telling him that invading Iraq would actually make Britain more at risk of a terrorist attack. But our Tony knew best, and invaded anyway… And so here we are months later, thousands dead in Iraq, but still no WMD, no Saddam, no [...]
Someone’s come up with the same idea for a slogan as me, except they’ve actually got round to producing a poster with it.
And it almost got him nicked. Perhaps I’ll stick to the more acceptable Father Ted-style protesting…
According to the Washington Post, Dubya had the orchestra at last night’s function play Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. An old favourite of his, or just a signal for Tony to get his kneepads on again? And to confirm what a classy kinda guy Bush is, “just before the guests arrived, the palace [...]
So the Chimp has landed in Yurp to start his disgraceful state visit to Britain. Well, fuck Bush, and the 700 “friends” he brought with him.
I’ve been in bed for the last few days with food poisoning, but luckily I’m feeling well enough to get out for the big anti-Bush demo tomorrow. Just hope I [...]
“I saw the gorilla sitting at the bus stop”: 300lb Gorilla tries to escape from a Boston zoo. “I thought it was a guy with a big black jacket and a snorkel on.”
I’ve just realised I haven’t posted anything here for yonks, not even on Concorde’s last day (I was lucky enough to see it fly over here on its way into Heathrow). Not that I’ve really done much aside from work on an e-commerce project and drink wine for the last few weeks anyway, which doesn’t [...]
Finally, web designers’ favourite A List Apart returns, with a couple of particularly good articles on CSS kicking off the new-look issue. Ah, I remember when it was just a mailing list…
