Hello, Pussy?*

BoreMe.com is a collection of videos, jokes and pictures that we've all seen before (but it's nice to have them all in one place, I suppose). One not to be missed is the bizarre Japanese music video featuring pretty young girls simulating sexual acts in time with the ridiculous music (with varying degrees of skill and motivation). Some of them look bored shitless! Find this in the Bore me Rigid (Adult) section (currently 4th on the list of 'latest'). I'd seen this before, but the version I saw previously was MUCH longer. Trouble is, I can't remember what it's called or where to find it. Any ideas? I know Cowki will know ;-)

Other things of note include the Windows Music thing, which is geeky but clever, and the airport practical joke thing, which always raises a smile (eg, "Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DaBahzted" which reads like "My colleague just farted and the left the room, the bastard").

I had a gander at the BoreMe shop and pissed myself with laughter at some of the items, so decided to order a few things for a mate's birthday, including a lighter and a couple of rude cards. I rang the shop today to check what was happening to my order. A friendly and very well-spoken lady on the other end of the phone said, "We've got the buy your own fucking lighter and when I grow up I want to be a crack whore, but unfortunately, we haven't got any happy birthday cunt".

Class.


* Pussy is the name of the boutique which supplies the BoreMe shop

John Peel OBE - A Fond Farewell

Today saw the funeral of the legendary and inimitable John Peel. I am deeply saddened, as are thousands of others who grew up listening to his dulcet tones. The world has lost a very special human being. He will be sorely missed.

I marked the occasion by playing very very loud (and extremely varied!) music all day, and singing at the top of my voice. It was great. I'm sure John would have approved.

Here are some tributes from listeners.

The irreplaceable and much-loved John Peel

Bye John
Lots of love

Japanese Counting System

In case you were wondering what the Japanese use for counting, instead of writing 4 lines with the fifth going across like a gate (aka 'chicken scratch marks'), then have a gander at this: Tadashii

Apple disables iTunes plug-in | Tech News on ZDNet

Read about this here.

I, for one, will continue to avoid iTunes like the plague. It is totally infuriating to use and to be frank, sucks. If your machine decides to lose all your data, how are you supposed to get your songs off the iPod and back into iTunes? Exactly. Which is why I've been using ephPod for some time now. Ok, it crashes occasionally, but it's great for moving songs on and off the pod and editing tag info. Get real Apple - you're gonna lose customers through this (well, at least as far as iTunes is concerned).
