Rain

It is raining outside.

This must be the most boring blog entry of all time.

Football Manger Demo

This Sunday, the incredibly addictive football manager simulation, the aptly named, Football Manager 2009, releases it's demo.

Goodbye World, I won't be seeing you for some time...

Number 7

The number 7 is broken on my mobile. Well, not so much broken, as in the process of break-ing. It is slowly becoming less and less responsive. This makes texting, or dialling, very difficult, as the number 7 also functions as the letters P, Q, R and the all important S.

That means, that if I were texting this entry, I would have been forced to stop, scream, and angrily prod my phone...

44 times.

That is a lot - enough to be a serious hinderence.

The News Quiz

Now that I am at University, I am living a life without a TV. This is hard. Filling the void somewhat are a new batch of podcasts that I am listening to. The best of these is BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz.

A satirical panel game, the news quiz takes elements of the news and some brilliant comedians poke fun at these stories. It works brilliantly on Radio, using the medium to poke fun. It is not filled with soundbites of politicians, but with these comidians both explaining the news story and having a laugh.

Last week included the criminal who robbed a car, and was caught because he had his name and date of birth totooed onto his neck. It was hilarious.

Food

Living off a diet of Pasta and Orange Juice is OK right?

What if the Orange Juice has bits?

UPDATE: Well, it turns out that OJ with Bits makes for far more washing up than without bits. S'now it is Pasta and Orange Juice.. without bits. Still OK... right?

Ballpoint Pen

The Customer Review section on Amazon.co.uk is often very useful, and will often give you insight into what it is that you are interested in buying.

However, once in a while an item comes along that fits into the review culture, and humour is the winner. The most recnt of these to be stumbled upon by me, is the BiC Crystal Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Black, sold singly.



For those without the time to read all the reviews, a very small sample of some of the finest point are:

Good

Writes on paper
Mightier than the Sword
Useful as cooking utensil

Bad

Not left-handed accessable
Can only produce images in black and white
Poor taste in mouth
Requiers expertise to operate
Not "Crystal", infact some petroleum-based polymer
