How can people not like INXS??
The world has gone mad.
My dad used to like them.
Today I found out I can sneeze and cough at the...

I’ve been there. I didn’t think that amount of unpleasantness was even biologically possible. But it was. And the sound one makes when these competing forces of respiratory fuckery converge simultaneously? There’s surely no comparison in the entire animal kingdom. That shit makes sasquatch sound like a nightingale.
WatchGoing with the Liverpool/Sheffield computer vibe, here’s Liverpool’s Clipe Sexo Amador with I Play Keyboard. The Sheffield is shoehorned in there by the presence of someone from Sheffield in the video. He just wants to have a pint.

It’s nice to know that the Tumblr community is so successfully self-regulating.

I’m afraid that your pet peeve is starting to turn into some kind of obsession. And I’m a little concerned.
You’re right Meg. My curiosity does seem somewhat obnoxious. It’s not intended that way. I’ll stop minding the gaps.
Haha, I tease. But not fixing my spacing in the reblog must have hurt like hell. The first step is always the hardest. I’m...

Next time I’m wooing a VC for cash in the valley, I’ll remember that.
May I also take this opportunity to ask you, Mrs. Tea, why you are triple spacing? Double spacing is a pet peeve of mine, but whatever. People do it. It’s a thing. I can deal. But 3.0 spaces? What’s zee dealio?
Pretty sure that if you’d double check the frequency in which I triple space, you’ll realize it was a...
I want someone to ask me if I have the time

that way I can say, “Who the fuck do I look like, Morris Day?”
Reading this it suddenly dawned on me, can’t remember the last time anyone asked me for the time. Cell phones seem to have killed the old “Hey, do you have the time?”. Anyway, carry on.
Last time I asked someone the time it was in London. There were two painter-decorator type blokes having...

I can’t believe there is even a tomato-tomahto discussion about this. I would bet money that if you were in the valley, wooing some VC for cash, you’d get laughed out of their office if you called it anything BUT “Web Two Point Oh.” Although, to be fair, I think the term as a whole, no matter how you say it, is becoming very outdated and more like something your...

I say “two point zero” but “two point oh” sounds better
I say “Weeb twenty-but-with-a-full-stop-between-the-two-and-the-zero-or-nought-if-you-prefer”
hehe @ thesophie
I’m with ‘web two’. 2.0 is just 2. The ‘0/oh/zero’ is redundant however you say it. So it’s ‘web two’.

… a particularly summery ditty today?
Indeed you may. I’ll try and find some sunshine in my little box of ditties.

and here is a strange duck we spent about a million hours looking at because it was a strange looking duck.
This post is here because I don’t believe there is anyone who can’t take a little bit of joy from that statement.
I have finally deduced that it must have been an Indian Runner Duck. But Strange Looking Duck is a much better name. I’m going to call them...
subjecttomeg:
Haha. Oh, dear. I must torture you so. My apologies. (And look! I even single spaced this post, even though I had to go back and redo each one. It probably won’t happen again, but I’m not really trying to cause you pain.)
That you would go to the trouble this once means a lot to me. I’ll return the favour by keeping my spacing pedantry to myself. Until my next...

Double Spaces
Never use them. Ever. Your high-school teacher was wrong, don’t ever use them.
YES!
I try not to care. I really do. But it’s just wrong. So wrong.

Tentacle Porn
I wish I could say I was surprised that there was such a thing, but there’s a lot of strange people out there…..
I think it’s interesting how sometimes, when I hear of some sort of porn that I’ve not only never heard of before, but never even considered…and my first thought is ‘Oh yes, of course’. Because it makes...
In quotes: Blair, politics and God
In light of news that his ‘mentor’ and political agent John Burton has written that Blair’s decision to invade Iraq “was all part of the Christian battle” and that he wanted to “buffet the secular society that dominated life in Britain”, here’s a few quotes that outline his changing attitude to religion in politics. And when I say changing attitude,...

Like the song. Like the video. Glad she’s back.
