Oz kind of puts the UK's weather problems into perspective...
So whilst Victoria state in Australia is suffering from the worst natural disaster to affect Australia in living memory, the UK has been hit by record snowfalls – something that seems to happen every 18 years or so, on average.
In the UK the news has been ‘what if we run out of gritting salt?’, ‘transport chaos’, and at the very worst, some people had to sleep in slightly uncomfortable conditi…
Random yet suprisingly interesting fact!
This seriously impressed and astonished me actually for some reason…
In November 2008, Logitech produced their billionth mouse.
I mean, bloody hell thats a lot…
Have a look here just for logitech’s celebratory stuff… it’s quite interesting actually, with things like mouse ideas that never really made it etc.
But anyw…
A Sale :)
Just sold a calendar of Sri Lanka… Thank you whoever it was who bought it! Really appreciated!!!
New Group: Shifting Sands
Just here to say that me and Sam Mortimer have started a new group called Shifting Sands – if anyone with me watchlisted sees this feel free to join!
It should be a good group and we’re looking forward to hosting it.
We started it as we realised that there actually, suprisingly, seems to be no group devoted to sand on redbubble…
See ya there!
Thoughtful Religiosity
I found this article in the Times magazine (27.12.08) a few days ago.
Admittedly I was drawn to opening it by the wonderful shot of Scarlett Johansson wearing not particularly much (joking, honest!) but then I found this in the year in view section.
It was an interview with Dr Brian Cox, a British physicist who was involved in the LHC collider at CERN, who also has made a few television pro…
ARGH Group Double Bubblemails Drive Me Up The Wall
So much so that I over-capitalise my titles – see what it drives me to?
Just a little brief rant, but I get soo many bubblemails from some groups, sometimes just too many all on different and unnecessary topics, or to say that there is 8 hours till the challenge closes… then 4 hours…. then 2 hours… then 1 hour…. then 30 minutes… then just 18 minutes!.... Okay I am exaggerating a bit …

My piece Wapping Rope was featured in the London Architecture group a couple of days ago so thanks to the hosts of that group for that!!
Meanwhile before that (it’...
It's amazing how stupid county councils can be...
Today I got through details of the changed times for my school transport. I found them pretty annoying.
For one, I liked things the way they were and also the system worked. I can tell just from looking at them that the system will not work as it’s meant to (the system at the moment works – it’s a very complicated system which involves 2 schools which means two sets of students. The new one wi…
A Quick Thought: China's Space Program
I personally just loved the mindless robotic stupidity of Chinese control of it’s state media networks this week, publishing ‘in-flight’ conversations between the astronauts on their recent spacewalk mission before they had even left the ground. Surely somebody thought that it might be noticed? Clearly not, or if they did they were arrested.
Such is China’s control on it’s media networks…
Pan's Labyrinth- Sunday, 9pm, C4
Channel 4 in the UK are playing Pan’s Labyrinth at 9pm GMT on Sunday 28th September.
Personally, one of my “films to see before you die”, a true masterpiece of film production… But one where if you speak less than 10 minutes is up you will most likely start crying. Yes, it is that good. It’s in spanish, but should have english subtitles- they didn’t dub it which is such a good thing, thank…
