Pamela Willis, Pammy, Freckles.
On Monday 22nd February, 2010 the world lost its sparkle.

Quick post, mainly as there will one day be a larger post and I don’t want to forget, which I would if I don’t write it down now.
As an Englishman I have for a long time had various stereotypical ideas about what America and Americans are like. Whilst a lot of this does come … Read the rest

I’ve said goodbye to my Dad and my Brother. Tomorrow (Monday 19th September) I say goodbye to one of my best friends. My poor Dad though, not only did I tell him last weekend that I was leaving the country, my brother did too. We could probably have chosen a better day than his birthday. … Read the rest

I’m afraid of heights, as in, when I am high up (depending on situation it could be a 6′ ladder or it could be the edge of a roof) I get the heebie-jeebies. I get a little panicked, I get a bit wobbly, I get an overwhelming fear that I’m going to fall.

We’re all equal. Just some of us are more equal than others.
For at least as long as I have been riding bikes (at time of writing some 18 years), and maybe I was aware of this even before I was riding bikes, there has existed a “them and us” mentality between non-motorcycle-owning-car drivers and … Read the rest

Warning – You should consider this post rated as 18 / R and most definitely NSFW.
This post is a follow on from some tweets I posted last night (July 1st 2011). A lot of this isn’t going to make sense as I’ve not written about Twitter or what I put into it / get … Read the rest

Oh joy, yet another blog post bashing the iPhone. You’re right, it is old and it is boring now so I’m going to try not to do it. this post is simply about education.

The original title for this was “favourite android apps” but decided it would be more useful if I listed the ten apps that I most think everyone should have on their phone (from the list of apps I currently have installed).

As most of you will be all too well aware, I’m a huge (geek) fan of gadgets especially mobile phones and lately, specifically android devices.
And unless you’ve been locked away or only recently arrived from another planet, you’ll at least be aware of the Apple iPad. Essentially a 10 inch iPhone with less functionality. … Read the rest

After wasting a day’s holiday due to Royal Mail being unable to cope with the recent weather conditions my HTC Desire HD finally arrived from T-Mobile. 24 hours later I thought I’d give a quick review whilst it’s still in it’s unmolested state.
