Which Johnny Depp character are you?

November 22, 2003

Just in case you needed your true identity further elucidated: Which Johnny Depp character are you? I turned out to be Sam, from Benny & Joon, a film I've not seen in so long. You Are Sam From "Benny & Joon." You are very talented at physical comedy. People are in awe of your abilities. […]

Blogging in my sleep

November 21, 2003

I had a dream last night that I had been asked to compile a list of my ten favourite things to do. At number one was “Read Gary Turner's weblog“. I really, really need to get out more.

Top referrers list gone

November 21, 2003

Spam. It's all bloody spam these days. I'd been wondering why I had a number of strange links in my referrers log – links that go to sites that don't apparently refer to me at all. The sites that spider I know about, but some of these sites appeared to be blogs yet didn't link […]

The best error page in the history of 404s

November 21, 2003

This (currently at least, unless someone fixes the link) is just the best error page ever. Puts my pathetic attempt to shame.

Gimme a Coke… just gimme a damn Coke!

November 20, 2003

The last thing I dreamt this morning before waking up was that I had a can of Coke, and god, it tasted gorgeous. *sigh* I can be strong, yes I can.

The Matrix Defence

November 20, 2003

I watched a documentary last night about murderers in America who as part of their defence had claimed that, effectively, ‘The Matrix made me do it’. In one case, the defence attorney claimed that the defendant was so obsessed with the film that it had made him take a gun and kill both his parents […]

The Bible Code

November 20, 2003

Just saw a documentary about this code that supposedly is in the Bible. All I can say is: If you look hard enough for patterns you can see them anywhere, but that doesn't mean they're really there.

Amazon can't count

November 19, 2003

On 17 Nov I ordered a book from Amazon which, according to its product description would be despatched 'within 7 to 8 days', yet my confirmation email tells me that it will be delivered between Nov 29 and Dec 7. Either Amazon can't count, or someone's cancelled nearly two weeks of this year and not […]

Bugger off Bush

November 18, 2003

We don't want you here, so take your murderous, hypocritical, ignorant, steel tariff toting arse back to Texas where you belong. And you can give back the £5 million it's cost us, the British taxpayer, to provide all that extra police cover whilst you're here too. Oh, and if any one of your braindead trigger-happy […]

SWALK: Bush and Blair

November 18, 2003

Via Joho, the touchingly beautiful Bush and Blair video. Aw, innit sweet? (It's also huge – takes ages to load on dial-up, but I think you'll agree it's worth it.)

Welcome to Dehinc, where there are no posts for ages, then three come at once

November 17, 2003

Spoof branding website What Brand Are You appears to have been a bit too good for, er, its own good. The site asks you to choose a couple of core attributes, then comes up with a Latinate brand name which is supposed to be amusingly crap, but according to the BBC some punters have thought […]

Play housey with me

November 16, 2003

Feeling absolutely knackered this evening. Probably has something to do with being dragged out of bed at some unholy hour (9am) this morning by my niece and then spending a couple of hours helping my brother and my Dad fill in the pit in the garage. (If you’re wondering why there was a pit in […]

What, no caffeine? No caffeine at all?

November 15, 2003

I’m giving up caffeine again, as of today. I think this must be the third or fourth time I’ve tried to give up caffeine this year and each time I’ve gone through the headachy-grumpy-bear stage only to then succumb to the thought ‘Well, one can of Coke can’t hurt, can it? Just one champagne truffle?’ […]
