Having Fun with Telemarketers… —

I’ve been the owner of a BT landline now for nearly three years, and despite being registered with the UK TPS (which I’ve renewed yearly). I still get lots of junk calls. So rather than hanging up on the pesky callers (of which Toucan Telecom insist on calling me EVERY Saturday morning at around 9am) [...]

Driving a convertible… —

Review: Placebo – Meds —

I’ve been listening to Placebo’s latest album, Meds on solid repeat for about three hours now, and although it’s growing on me nothing about it seems to scream brilliant either. I’m a big fan of the classic Placebo tracks like Nancy Boy, Slacker Bitch and Pure Morning, but very little on this album matches up [...]
