Stockport school teacher suspended for smut role
A local school teacher down the road from me at Stockport Grammar School has been suspended after students found a video she’d made years before starting her teaching role, on YouTube.
The video is a raunchy advert for Scruffs work clothing and shows her playing a secretary getting a vigorous workout by a builder, while demonstrating the safety aspect of his clothing. The advert was never shown on TV and was instead used as a promo video for the clothing firm. It’s getting some exposure now!
Suspending Sarah Green seems a little harsh as this isn’t porn, it’s just an advert she made as part of an acting job. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about here, so I hope she returns to work soon. I wouldn’t mind meeting her at parents evening either, I think enrolments would go up at Stockport Grammar if she goes back.
Thanks to About Blank for finding this one, and on the Metro website.
How to annoy me
You remember the podcast I put up a while back where some cock sucker phoned me up and demanded I tell him how to make money online. He withheld his number, lied about what he was doing and then started abusing me. He then phoned back the same night and received a massive amount of abuse from my pissed up flat mate.
Well the dipshit phoned back again recently. Have a listen to this.
Incredible eh?
If you’d like to be featured on MrDaz.com in a podcast, just give me a call and piss me off. This could be you.
Aliens and Star Wars on eBay
I’m selling some Aliens and Star Wars figures on eBay at the moment. The time has come to get rid of some of these toys I’ve collected over the years, so have some carded MOSC Aliens toys for sale, and some Power of the Force Star Wars figures with a low starting bid (99p) – no reserve.
Have a look at the auctions here.
SEChecking for your keyword rankings
I wouldn’t normally give something like this any exposure, or even any of my time, but while I was rooting around the ReviewMe clearing house I came across the site SEChecking that was offering a Search engine positioning service for a scalable fee starting at $19.95 per month, rising to $49.95 per month.
What this company claims to do is to monitor your position in Search Engines and send you daily reports based on your rankings. For this they charge the fees dependent on how many keywords you’re keeping track of.
Now what bothers me about this is you can do exactly this for FREE with services like Digital Point or even Web CEO. $50 per month seems a lot of money for something that can effectively be had for free elsewhere.
It doesn’t help their credibility when you view their blog and find just the two half assed posts on a default WordPress blog skin stating they’ve just started. This all looks a little too much like a cowboy operation to me. A Whois sees that the site is run out of the Czech Republic too.
Even the FAQ fails to instil any confidence that the site can actually deliver what it claims as it only has two points:
How many pages are scanned in search engines ?
Now there are scanned the first 10 pages (100 results) in search engines.How often do you scan search engines for changes ?
Every day! Time of scanning is between 0:00am and 6:00am.
Seriously, I’d advise you to avoid SEChecking, there are far more trustworthy and cheaper (read free) options out there.
Write a guest post on MrDaz.com
One thing I’ve noticed from having a high profile blog such as MrDaz.com is that when you have something to complain about, people listen. They take note.
If you don’t have a voice getting justice from companies that like to ignore your very existence can be difficult. When their actions, negligence or incompetence goes public however, and thousands of people start seeing just what has been happening, you’ll find action is taken.
Royal & SunAlliance are living testament to that. They went from ignoring me and declaring they weren’t responsible for my car, to paying for it to be picked up in Wales, driven 200 miles and repaired while they gave me a courtesy car.
They’re just one of many. What I’d like to hear though is if anyone has any stories to tell, any complaints, any grievances. If you’re having trouble with an insurance company, with the CSA, with the council… whatever, I want to hear about it.
Your post can be any length, just let me have it. Send your posts to darth_daz AT hotmail dot com (written like that to stop the spam bots).
Remember to include your name, the subject of your post and any links to websites you’re mentioning. If you have a website yourself I’ll give you a link as well. One thing though, it must be original. It can’t have been posted anywhere else on the Internet.
If it’s good enough I’ll guest post it here.
So send me your stories, you could see some action very soon.
GPS Tracking’s what I need
You may remember from my blog that my pride and joy, my car, was stolen in July 2006. I fought tooth and nail to get the thing back to the point it almost consumed me, and did consume this website; it’s a veritable homage to the quest.
If however when my car was stolen I’d actually had some form of tracking installed, like I’m considering now that I have it back, there wouldn’t have been an issue. GPS tracking is now inexpensive and a real solution to people like me who are obsessed with their cars.
LandAirSea Systems are a leading GPS tracking provider used by private, commercial and even government clients. This means they have the technology and the coverage to ensure that when my car next goes for a drive by itself that I’ll know where the sucker is.
One of the key benefits with this system is that it’s compatible with Google Earth:
The Data Can be downloaded and view in Google Earth simply by plugging the Tracking Key into the USB port of a computer
What I also like is the fact that the magnet used is so small it can be placed under your car seat, and it’s water resistant. Though of course if my car ends up in the sea, knowing where it is won’t help me much.
This YouTube video should help to show how incredible this product can be.
I’m seriously considering this. If anyone so much as touches my car or even jokes about touching it after what happened I tend to attack them physically.
