The other item, tacked, for some reason, onto the bottom of the previous report also made me howl with laughter. Under typically leaden skies, with rain lashing down, Birmingham City Council is building … wait for it … a beach in Chamberlain Square, next to the town hall (that’s as well as the one in […]
Well, here’s another prime example of how conservative politicians in the UK have absolutely no grasp on reality. There was an article in one of the UK newspapers recently about conservative leader, “Dave” Cameron (didn’t keep a link), listing just how much privilege and blue blood he has and, wondering just how “in touch” he […]
Slate the liberal online news and culture magazine, which was created by Microsoft and now owned by the The Washington Post Company, must be really short on decent sources to quote. Poor things had to scrape the barrel so low (no offence) that they quoted … ME!
Yes really, Slate’s Susan Daniels, quoted some […]
After 15 years in Tenerife, home to the world’s biggest, most spectacular and sensational Carnaval, after Rio, the mere idea of a Carnival in Kings Heath, Birmingham (where I also used to live) seems, well side-splittingly funny. The events just don’t compare really.

If ever you find yourself bored in Tenerife, shuffle (if you’ll forgive the pun) along to the Wankers Bar. Honestly, I kid you not. OK, so the name - El Pajero - is in Spanish and, maybe they thought this would be a bit of a joke on all the foreigners who wouldn’t understand what […]
Not just on blogs, but any other type of website actually. For instance, I recently redesigned 7cMarketing.com based on the results of a test using Crazy Egg, which had highlighted what people were (or actually, weren’t) paying attention to and clicking on in the site’s previous layout.
“Unlike other tracking tools such as Google Analytics or […]
The internet is not web-shaped after all, apparently. Yes, I can understand why you might respond “So what?” or “Who cares?” to that, but while the boffins are still arguing and working out the details on this “discovery”, one comment from the conclusion of the article was interesting:
