Simon Perry: Schemes, dreams & trivia

Following hard on the heals of the conviction of Armin Meiwes, the German cannibal, we have a story that I suspect would excite him. Some unfortunate fellow working in a Danish slaughterhouse fell into a deskinning machine that he was cleaning - ouch. The delicately-named machine resembles a car wash and is used to strip […]

SEOBook.com has found a search engine that works on auction sites such as eBay. The data appears to be building up slowly - the most recent data for an iPod search was dated sept.03. This appears to be down to them needing to have the permission of the person holding the auction - eBay expressly […]

I was stunned to see that TV comedy programme, The Office, has won two Golden Globes - Best TV comedy series and Best TV comedy actor for Ricky Gervais.
My surprise isn’t that it was judged as great (all who have seen it know that), but that it came out on top against shows like Sex […]

These days it’s not often that I post twice in the same day, but I came across a link to some video footage from an Apache helicopter on snopes.com and thought it couldn’t wait until tomorrow.
The video, which come from US news network ABC, shows people being shot with 30mm automatic cannon fire, apparently in […]

Taking the Tube home last night, I was reading though some of my papers when I happened to glance over my shoulder and saw the newspaper of the person sitting next to me.

The legal eagles at Smart & Biggar, Microsoft’s Canadian lawyers picked up this domain registration and wrote to him […]

Another brilliant shot by Jennannej on Buzznet. It has a real feel of the American painter Edward Hooper about it, in particular his 1942 painting, Nighthawks.

It’s hilarious to see that viewing figures for the BBC TV slot that Robert Kilroy-Silk’s show used to be on are now going up since his show was pulled off air after comments he had made about Arabs in a Sunday “newspaper”.
With information like that, it is no longer a case of whether Mr […]

Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of my favourite TV programs. I find the dry, deadpan delivery hilarious - it’s a mainline to my sense on humour. Clearly Larry David is a genius, his wife, played by Cheryl Hines, is fantastic and his manager, played by Jeff Garlin is brilliant every time he’s on the screen.
