And I Stupid Did. I am a muppet. I am stupid. I am thick. There's no other way of putting it. Last Thursday my IQ dropped by 100%, just as I was trying to buy fuel.
Thursday lunchtime I had nipped out at lunchtime to get my ears lowered (hair cut), buy a sweatshirt, and then get a Boots meal deal.

An analysis of Lost the night before the finale is broadcast I hate Lost.
I hate Lost with a passion. It is the single most frustrating piece of television ever devised.

Again... Well once again my playlist in the car, work and at home has been playing a lot of Flight of the Conchords music. The top 5 are Business Time, Think About It, Bowie, Leggy Blonde and The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room.
Mix in the odd Tim Minchin track and it gives me a smile all day long - along with a unhealthy and warped out look on well everything. Still ace tunes though.

The Number of the Beast! Possibly. Donkeys years ago, before I became the libertarian anarchist I am today, I used to live in a house numbered '103'. In 1990 my family left that house behind and moved into new domiciles. But the number '103' wasn't finished with us yet.
If you've seen the film '23' starring Jim Carrey, it's much the same story for me, only my face isn't quite as rubbery.

Where Stuff is Big! And Really, Really Old! Do you ever look down at your feet while lying in bed and think "wow, that's how that's going to look on the gurney when I'm dead"?
Well, being a nervous flier, that's the gear my mind changes into a few days before blasting across the sky in a pressurised tube at 80% the speed of sound. This time, we were jetting to that city of ancient history, Rome! Or, 'Roma' as the locals call it. Poor sods, dyslexia must be rife on The Old Boot.

... You one eyed Scottish idiot... If I started a business offering, lets say, cabbages, all shapes and sizes, lovely cabbages, but whenever somebody ordered one of my splendid green cabbages from my wonderful and very expensive marketing literature I delivered to them a small wind-up penguin toy, I don't think my business would last for very long. And yet this is exactly what the British Government is doing every single day.
Only... without the wind up penguins or cabbages.

| Introducing two future classics from Lost Johnnies... |
|
Sometime in 2004, G and Rich recorded over four hours of themselves playing random music and some exceptionally daft lyrics. When they were playing back the four hours of dicking about, these two songs stood out from the rest. Simon Cowell, if you'd like to get in touch and discuss some seven figure deals, we're all ears, mate.

Audi A5 (Motoring)
Style and Design
Audi have become a very popular brand lately and not without good reason. Their car build quality is without rival, the range of cars available is recognised throughout the industry as having the best interior of any vehicles on the road (with possible exception left to the Bugatti Veyron... but that's a special case as we all know...). And the bold design change in 2003 giving the range that gaping-mouth grille has been very well received.
But I'm an Audi fanatic, I drink, sleep and eat Audi. I annoy my family and friends with obscure knowledge of the Audi R10 Le Mans racer's turbo diesel engine. I leer wantonly as I pass the Audi dealership on the way into town. So naturally, I'm going to say their design direction is spot on, their cars are beyond compare, and their styling is impeccable... aren't I?

Easyjet plc (Companies)
Sleazyjet or You Get What You Pay For Jet?
Tonight, I watched Airline on UKTV Discovery ITV +1 hour Sky Digital MTV Unnecessary Punctionation! Geographic. On Freeview (Sky TV being so expensive these days only people on the dole can afford it!). And I watched 30 minutes of emotive, edge-of-the-seat television. It was wonderful.
For starters, there was a woman, short, bleached hair, and her daughter (who was probably as unsure of her mother's sexuality as we were). She had arrived late for her plane, granted it was 5 minutes late, but she was late. Simple as that.

Microsoft Technology Preview (Technology)
June 2007
Today, three architects from 'the big M' turned up at work today and gave a stunning, enthralling five hour presentation (10am - 3pm) on their next generation of developer software and a peek into the world of some of their new technologies.
Warning: The following is extremely geeky. If you suddenly find the urge to hug your knees and rock back and forth, we highly recommend you try reading a blog about F1 instead... - Rich.

F1 2007 Monaco Grand Prix (Sports)
"The most boring Monaco Grand Prix in history" - The Sun
The build-up was electric. Monaco is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the Formula One season and it was finally here.
Expectation was high for the new English rookie, Lewis Hamilton. He was leading the World Championship after four races leaving Finnish "Ice Man" Raikonnen, greasy Brazilian Massa and current title-holding Champion (his team-mate) Fernando Alonso in his 22-year-old dust. But Lewis was yet to win a race, hell he'd only had four of them so far, it was only his consistency that pulled him through to lead.

The A1 Northbound (Motoring)
Between Washington and Gosforth
Well this morning I tested the A1 between Washington and Gosforth, and thought I'd utilise Rich's new Roadtest section to tell you all about it. Well it was very busy passing the Angel of the North, as it is every morning (three lanes would help ease this problem should you read this Mr Council person) but other than that it was lovely.
Next time - Sandy Lane

(Carlton Egremont III) Mr Bunny's Guide to ActiveX (Technology)
A guide to ActiveX for both experienced software developers and preschoolers alike.
One day last week, a chap on my team at work broke his computer with the effectiveness that only a veteran software engineer can do. Jokingly, I sent him a link to a "Computers for Beginners"-style book on Amazon. In return, he mailled me a link that forever changed the way I think about computers. And bunnies.
For some reason, my PC was going slow and the Amazon page he had linked me to refused to do anything but be a nice shade of white. The guy then asked my to search Google for a different retailer of the book. "Just search for Mr Bunny", he said.
