Monopoly’s really annoy me. I’m glad to say that as of 6am this morning a major monopoly in Scotland is finally over. No longer do we have no choice in what our pubs and restaurants stink of. We can now enjoy all the olfactory wonders of body odour, spilt lager, vomit and […]
Sad News Everyone PhillG.com is to Close!
It is with a very heavy heart I bring you this sad but inevitable news. This days was always coming and almost one year into my most recent online adventure, here we are. This site has evolved significantly over the past year and while I […]
Before I start, let me say I swear this was written *before* the draw took place, but it’s now been changed to reflect the fact that we are playing Chelsea. Put simply Liverpool have been to two cup finals under Rafa, won one and lost one. First one we played in we lost […]
With a heavy heart I have to inform everyone that a good friend of mine and a regular contributor to this site, Andy Regent, has lost his freedom and has been locked up as of this morning. The incidents that led up to this were on Friday night at his leaving party (warning: viewer […]
Very sad news. The Simpsons has been renewed for a further two seasons. This year, half way through an episode, I actually turned it off and said out loud “this is *shite*”. I’d actually physically had enough. For almost five years now I’ve been bitching saying that the show had gone on […]
No, I’m not going to start banging on about the screwed up GCSE exam board in England, the victory award from Republican judge in Pennsylvania (one, ha-ha-ha, two, ha-ha-ha), or even the reggae-indifferent Pastafarians. No, there are far more important things in life, namely why Novell’s Evolution (the main email client with Gnome) does […]
I am delighted to confirm that The Shield *will* be back this year. On Tuesday there is a big season finale on the US channel Fx and it is being billed as bringing everything round to conculsion, notably the resolution of the massive incident in the very first episode. Shawn Ryan was interviewed […]
This is quite worrying. I don’t remember taking those two great pictures of the East End of Edinburgh covered in snow, especially as I don’t work anywhere near there. What’s more troubling is I now have a page of wintery shots of Dunfermline covered in snow and I’ve never been there! I’ll […]
Like most of the top half of the UK I awoke to a lovely blanket of snow covering the view from my bedroom. Not that any of the people involved could actually do anything about it, but I did warn them to “Beware the Ice of March”. I managed to steal a couple […]
If it’s good enough for Giancarlo Fisichella then it must be good enough for the rest of us:
What a great job I have at SNIPEF! Rather than being chained to my desk I’m currently on the banks of Loch Ness monster spotting. I learnt yet another new fact today. Last time I was here I found out that Loch Ness has more water in it than all the lakes […]
Not a phrase you usually associate with Sir David Attenborough but the morning before Planet Earth launches on BBC1 (Sunday at 9pm, repeat on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC2) he said the series contains footage that will “blow your mind”. Do you know what? He’s exactly right. The first episode showed a […]
I was wandering around Livingston today and came across a very sharp Kitchen Devils carving fork. It may not surprise many people, but I already have a carving fork but this one had such a fantastic grip on it I was desperate to get it (even more so when I found it was reduced […]
Here we are, the 12 days before the Ides of March, and it’s started snowing like you wouldn’t believe! I took my first picture as I came out after only 30 minutes of snow but sadly the very first one I took of some boy racer in an Audi sliding all over the road […]
I’ve previously posted Asda’s ambiguous checkout sign before in my gallery but now I’d like to tell you about what great deals you can get there. Not only do they sell Dandelion and Burdock (in Scotland!) but they also have a diet version too (don’t see the point personally). It’s a bargain at […]
Sir Mingis Campbell (look it’s spelled Menzies but I don’t want any person with no Scottish knowledge pronouncing it Men-zies) has just won the leadership contest of the Lib Dems. Inevitable tabloid headlines are bound to follow the second he does something ruthless, calling him Ming the Merciless. Does that mean in the […]
