Oddly named places seem to agglomerate in England…

Posted by: Edd Mills on: May 25, 2007

I’m not one for blogging Digg posts, but I couldn’t resist with this one. Jane Copland wrote a fantastic post over at Drivl.com about the 22 Worst Place Names in the World.
What made me laugh was how many of them were here in England. Places such as Wetwang in Yorkshire and Thong in Kent!

Well FineTune has really bugged me lately

Posted by: Edd Mills on: May 21, 2007

Every time I go on, it claims I have no favourite play lists even though I have added at least 5 to my favourites list. It’s annoying because they’re not appearing in the Desktop application either and I had fallen in love with that thing! I submitted a bug report, but it still isn’t fixed.

Buy my skinny jeans!

Posted by: Edd Mills on: May 21, 2007

I was holding back a bit on posting my own eBay items on here, but I figured considering how many people end up at my blog through the tag “Skinny jeans” it may be financially worthwhile to do some selfless advertising.
So if you’re after some H&M skinny jeans in either navy or light blue, or [...]

I got my Nokia 6300 about 2 months ago now because I lost my old Samsung D500 while clubbing in London. I made the mistake of wearing jeans with very shallow pockets and it managed to fall out. That or this guy who was harassing me for much of the night stole it. I prefer [...]

Is MySpace blocking YouTube videos again?

Posted by: Edd Mills on: May 13, 2007

I just sent a message including a YouTube embed and it was removed; have MySpace actually gone and banned YouTube for good? With the recent acquisition of Photobucket it would seem more and more likely that they’d attempt to corner the media sharing market. Further more, will MySpace be okay with Google’s adverts being present [...]

So, oral sex gives you cancer;
From New Scientist
“People who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex, a new study suggests. The researchers believe this is because oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated [...]

So, Paris is going down

Posted by: Edd Mills on: May 8, 2007

The story of Paris Hilton being sentenced to a prison sentence this week made me smile. What made me smile even more is the petition that has been put together to try and get her let off. Ahh the twists in that girl’s life, she’s done it all! Bless her.
