Dancing With Elves

This is very funny, take a look at my mother and uncles dancing as small green little people - http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=9632202520.
There's some smaller elves again: my cousins, nephew and neice - http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=9632380417

Moneygrabber broadband

Broadband - why don't we get what we pay for in the UK? I've paid for better broadband speed, but random tests on it show I get the same rate as before. Annoying and wrong. Sign a government petition to get something done. Also, visit The Gadget Show to test your own speeds and campaign for the truth about broadband speeds.

Smoking doesn't just kill the smoker

This illegal smoking issue in The Tyne Tunnel has sparked off a lot of anger with smokers . Let's get one thing straight, this is not about smoking, it's about safety. A fuel leak and a cigarette butt thrown inside a tunnel could be disastrous, that's my point. If smokers can refrain from smoking at a petrol station then it's the same thing. See South Shields Gazette and Guardian articles. I may post the House of Commons response here in the near future.

Don't put your butt out the window

After my success in getting the Tyne Tunnel management to warn drivers of the dangers of throwing cigarette butts out of the window inside the tunnel, The Sunday Sun have now printed an article about it. Click here to see it.

Frankie says laugh

The normally brilliant comedian Frank Skinner wasn't so brilliant as I'd expected watching him live at the local theatre. I'm suprised by the random words that some thick people in the audience shout out though. Frank once said "A dog is not intelligent. Never trust an animal that's surprised by its own farts."

The whole thing could blow

For some reason I was compelled to write to my MP after seeing drivers throw cigarette butts out of their car window INSIDE the Tyne Tunnel while queuing. It's paid off; my MP replied and a few days later, big LCD screens state that it is illegal to smoke inside the tunnel.
