Siri, why do you suck?

January 27, 2012

Continuing the theme of blogs relating to my new iPhone 4S, I’ve decided to share with you all my experiences with Siri, the automated voice recognition software built into the handset. I’ve only been able to play with my personal iOS assistant for a few hours but already I hate him/it.  Apple have given him/it […]

The ongoing saga of MaasP vs Vodafone.

The ongoing saga of MaasP versus Vodafone continues with the revelation that in order for my account to be credited £89 for my old handset I have to pay nearly £6 for the privilege! What a bunch of rob dogs!  I’m half tempted to hand deliver it to them but a) I don’t drive and […]

Your SIM may take up to 24 hours to ruin your life.

Are you thinking of getting a mobile phone contract?  Are you considering swapping service providers?  Let me make one thing perfectly clear before you make your decision.  Avoid Vodafone.  Avoid Vodafone like it had the plague.  Avoid, avoid, avoid! You see it all seemed fine when I took up my 2 year contract in 2010, […]

York: My view from the bar.

January 27, 2012

I’ve recently returned from a trip to York with Jeana for her birthday.  I had considered writing one of my world famous half-arsed reviews of my time there but to be honest I saw more of the bottom of a glass than anything else.  I also don’t write world famous reviews. When we weren’t out […]

The Force is strong with this one … but this one, not so much.

Today I finally got to see the Kinnect Star Wars: Duels viral that’s been doing the rounds on Facebook. Not only is the video hilarious it is also an accurate representation of how I will be playing the game when I eventually get around to buying it.  You see, I’m one of those annoying gamers […]

Thunder. Thunder. Thundercats, ho!

I’m spending the night reliving my childhood with the pilot episode of the original Thundercats series. As brilliant as the show was (and still is), it’s amazing what you discover when you re-watch things years later.  Things that you missed as a kid – no matter how blatant they were.  So blatant in fact that our […]

Danny Dyer is Shit.

January 12, 2012

Is there a worse actor walking the face of the planet than Danny Dyer? British cinemas go-to-guy for mockney accents and faux tough guy personas, Dyer has starred in a continuous string of garbage ‘gangster’ movies for a number of years despite having zero acting ability and the charisma of a stale pork pie.  There’s […]

Hotels – Now with Toilets!

January 5, 2012

I’ve just finished booking a hotel in York for a couple of nights to celebrate Jeana’s 24th birthday. While perusing the internet for the best deal/closest hotel to the centre etc I was amazed by the kind of goodies you get as an added extra with your room.  Not only is there an iron, a […]

Oh, the weather outside is frightful …

January 4, 2012

If you haven’t noticed it’s raining outside.  It’s also very, very windy. Wet and windy coupled with the promise of certain Armageddon in the next 12 months is a rather foreboding prospect. It also means something far, far worse … wet jeans syndrome. You see, I only have jeans clean to wear for work tomorrow […]

The Y2J Virus alive and well in 2K12

January 3, 2012

For weeks now the WWE has been airing a series of cryptic videos apparently announcing the return of a forgotten star. As usual, speculation was rife across the internet over the identity of the mystery man or woman.  Names ranging from The Undertaker to Hulk Hogan to Duke ‘The Dumpster’ Drosse (@playmagian) were thrown out […]
