  • Pure. Comedy. Gold. Jozin z Bazin

    This is a glorious song about the Swamp Man Jozin… Ropey English subtitles below. It’s well worth watching throughout. Well, to me it is…

  • Vegetarians Are Plain Filthy

    It never even occurred to me what Tofu really meant.  Now I do!  Storm in a teacup, but amused me nonetheless: Popped into the Campaign for Thinking, for obvious reasons. Thanks to Alison Classe who listed this on Cix.

  • Now That’s Clever… The Riddle on an Oscilloscope

    Ok – so I admit – I’m not only impressed by animation, I’m impressed by tech toys. And oscilloscopes have always been a source of fascination to geeks. Throw in a bit of nostalgia and look what I find…

I’ve been busy, I’ve got trips planned, and it’s hard to update this section every single week unless some of you start sending me quality…

  • Wheels are Dangerous

It’s easy to get complacent, but with the large amounts of energy involved in moving our vehicles around, the danger is always present….

  • Balloon Racing – Beautiful

    This is a beautiful piece of time-lapse photography, something I’ve just started experimenting with. If my videos are as good as this guy’s, I’ll be a happy chappy.

  • When Your Mic Breaks, Improvise!

    Sometimes you record a great hillclimb run (this one up Loton Park) only to find a technical glitch has spoilt the recording. So if that’s the case, you must improvise….
