It smells like the bendy 25 london bus runs on vegetable oil, whenever I cycle near one I get a sour chippy smell. The bendy 25 bus is also quite scary to cycle near as it is so long and cumbersome.

Quite often I notice mystery pavement circles, I think they are created not by a UFO, but by the spinning brushes of pavement sweepers.

Lots of large commercial websites have silly mistakes or errors such as this one ocurring all over a website

A free Drum and Bass night to celebrate the 100th release on Hospital Records. Some good tunes were played, and Tony Coleman still holds a little torch in his mouth when he’s mixing, now he’s got an LED torch. Maybe he should get a head torch or torch glasses (like this dj I found on google) and save on a possible big dental bill?

I was going to write about my new Netgear DG834PN that I got today, but that will have to come later.

I finished washing up a few minutes ago, and I thought:

Is it really possible for a dishwashing liquid to be kind to your hands, yet harsh on grease? I don’t think so. I am sure the natural oils in your skin are a major factor in keeping it soft and supple, so how can a washing up liquid dissolve animal fat (oil) from dishes, yet leave your own natural skin oils on your hands?

There are plenty of other Speakmans out there, including Nik & Eva Speakman, the owners of Stubbley Hall in Lancashire. The Speakmans have made their millions and now they want to help others, they have a programme on UK TV. They use their ‘Less Ordinary’ life coaching people on screen to achieve their goals. They have even coined the term Speakmanisms, which are one-liner motivational messages.

Other Speakmans include:

And of course, don’t forget the Speakman plumbing company, famous in the USA for its shower heads.

Who is this man?

Wooah, this is one strong beer! Also known as busch amber, it’s got a hefty 12% kick, I got it take away from Quinns in Camden. The taste is a bit too strong for me, I might try something a bit weaker next time like the 10.5% Bush Blond.
