I still can’t manage to moderate a forum
February 3, 2010 – 4:02 pm
A couple of times I’ve thought about developing a forum – generally its about whisky – but I never manage to get to the final stage of launching it. Generally due to the spamming which I’m sure would take place. Andy has bravely decided to launch one – silly boy – about his pet interests [...]

For a while my girlfriend (sorry finacee now) has been attempting to get driving lessons working with BSM.

October 1, 2009 – 11:18 am
Over at Ambergreen they did a blog piece on return on investment etc. Nice enough little piec, makes sense, nothing to make me disagree it’s nice (damned by faint praise I know). Anyway towards the end of it they user the term “cost per influence” and I have no idea how on earth you measure [...]

Is 0808 000 0133 the most annoying phone number in the world?
March 23, 2009 – 3:37 pm
I am literally about to invoke the insurance policy pertaining to my iPhone – I am going to throw it througha window onto the road hope it gets ran over by a car and then jump on it repeatedly just to make sure that the thing is dead. And all this just to get away [...]
