Define an English Person… gasp!
WARNING – links contain words that may offend! I’m not sure what is funnier, the fact that when you Google the term “define english person” the first result is this… …or that when you click the Wikipedia link, you see this… If you’re not faint hearted, why not try it for yourself? Continue Reading

Can You Crack It?
A rather interesting challenge has been brought to my attention, in a rather interesting way. A cyber code challenge, no less.

So a call the other day from Glasgow would normally have my… Continue Reading

Those who were online before ISDN and broadband will remember the sounds of dial-up, you may find the haunting sounds of the video clip at the bottom of this post familiar! Being an early adopter using single-line bulletin boards and an early Demon customer, I tend to associate the engaged tone with dial-up! However, as… Continue Reading
Squeak or eek? I’m a Whitstable Pearl!
