Sitting down this morning to contemplate the design of a Pop Out Banner, I was struck by what a versatile thing it is – to be able to “pop out”. I mean, really, there are very few things in life that cannot be said to have this particular ability. I, myself, am considering the feat […]
While the floods so many parts of the country have suffered over the last few weeks are hardly something to laugh about, it’s a sign of good old British resilience that when faced with adversity, high on the list of actions to take is to have a laugh about it. This picture appeared while the […]
I love people who are trying to be completely reasonable, but the circumstance of their lives just make it impossible. A woman in Hawaii has been having problems with getting her state ID card from the US government because her name is, wait for it, Janice Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele Normally she just goes by the name of […]
Followers of this blog may be shocked to hear this, but I was recently accused of being a bit of old moaner. “Moi” (I thought, with due deference to our European partners – and don’t get me started on that one), I’m usually all sweetness and light, but in face of the imminent arrival of […]

Eric Was Reconsidering His Decision To Eat All of His Business Cards at Once. OK – you’ve been sacked. It’s not the end of the world, you’ll get another job, eventually. But let’s not be glum or downhearted. You’ve now got a few weeks of much need leisure time and a couple of thousand now […]
Icelands’ Advice Campaign Following The Burger Scare You may remember some time ago I posted a little snippet about how flyers got their name, and the heroic pedigree of those little bits of paper advertising the latest offerings from the curry house on the corner.
