Link of the day: The Ricky Gervais Show
In the relatively quick pace of internet trends, I’m the old guy waving a cane. This is because I don’t IRC, and only IM with mates, family and co-workers who are just as blindfolded as I am. So you might have followed the Ricky Gervais radio show, or podcast if you want, for a long […]
Live like Vlad the Impaler
Impaling has always been one of my favourite pastimes, and keeping in spirit of my New Year’s Resolutions, maybe this place could be something for me?

So she’s decided to execute all of her grandchildren, and that annoying Annie doll […]
