Cycle of Theft of Cycles of Thefts of Cycles
Published by cian February 2nd, 2007 in Haitian Bill's Bar and Grill. 0 CommentsA Bi-curious bi-cyclist by way of Bicester. A little rhyme to warm your Friday. But what of all this blatant cyclism? I once had a bike. It was stolen. Painful experience yet it’s most likely your recently thieved prize warhorse will end up on sale in East London within the hour. If you buy a […]
Did anyone eat one of these? The McRib? The thing didn’t have a bone it in. And was reaaally minging. (Oops - two links already, I don’t normally do that but oh well just remember to come back once you’ve had a cheeky click.)
I quite like sampling the local MackyD’s specialty sandwich when on holiday, […]
Beryl the Very Mild Peril
Published by cian January 19th, 2007 in Gimping and RULES OF COMING ATTRACTIONS. 0 CommentsAfter watching ‘This Film is Not Yet Rated’, and waiting for The Office US s3e14 to download, I’ve decided to have a rant and a vaguely serious one for once. It’s not about the fact that Ironman is the only superhero with an alcoholic alter-ego but on the non-functional US film rating system all the […]
We have four traditional senses of taste. Sweet, sour, bitter and Reiss. We also have a fifth, umami, which is the taste of ’savoury meaty deliciousness’; about as close a translation to the Japanese word that us poor fat-tongued Western devils can manage.
The Japanese discovered umami in the 60’s using a battery of pHD students, […]
1920×1080. At least if I get a HDTV for my 360 - wait wait that just isn’t funny at all. No geek jokes this year. That’s the first resolution. Next is to either get good enough on Pro Evo Soccer on XBox Live to finally beat someone under 15 or just retire in quiet disgrace. […]
A new section for my site which I’ve spent the last 2 weeks building in earnest for launch.
TechniCian (feel the pun) will be covering technology related news and reviews of unnecessary consumer electronics I have bought recently; on a whim, with a grin or in the bin.
Other new subsites could include MagiCian, where I discuss […]
I’m in eager anticipation of the announcements for this year’s whopping City bonuses, the bouncy hyperbole around the amounts being paid and the reports of gratuitous, wanton splurging by M&A bankers around London. Daily Mail reports…
The obsceneness of this year’s bonus payouts was highlighted as one City banker took home £4million in 10 pence pieces, […]
Skynet, Transformers, Yo Sushi. All examples when we hand over control to the machines we end up in the shit. Giant transforming conveyor belt sushi robots from the future is what we are going to have to contend with and I say enough. Enough with all the robots and enough with overpriced crappy fatty tuna […]
Today I made a infinite loop vortex into another dimension using a webcam, a monitor and a tear in the space-time continiuum. I’ve dropped 2 can’s of Coke Zero into this wormhole so I’m expecting to hear from Han that Jabba the Hutt is enjoying this new 1 calorie carbonated beverage from the gods.
Check out […]
To laugh. It’s what separates us from the animals. Except the monkeys. And dogs. And rats. Oh those rascally rats - squeaking away every Thursday watching re-runs of season 4 Friends.
“So then I said - ‘why the long face!’”
If I were a rat for a day how would I know how to laugh […]
