As Man UTD failed so boringly to win the FA Cup, and with the impending Champions League final this Wednesday featuring Liverpool, it was inevitable there’d be a little Manc humour headed my way this week.
This little gem came from my own girlfriend! Bloody Mancs.
Funny though, the Scouser’s keyboard:
I’d just like to lend my support to Chelski in today’s FA Cup Final, the first at the new Wembley.
I don’t particularly like Chelski, but can’t stand Man UTD, so come on you blues. Living in Manc land I get some serious gloating material should Chelski win today.
Of course the real deal is Wednesday night when Liverpool go for their 6th European Cup. Beat that United!
I was just googling my name, as I tend to do and I found a CV from an actress named Jo Lancastle who appeared in my graduation film back in… ooh, when was it… 1998. The film was called ‘All or Nothing’ and also starred Richard Nichols, who’s done quite a bit of Welsh TV since.
If you’re lucky I may upload the film someday, although it’s just too long for YouTube as they don’t allow films over 10 minutes anymore.
I’m not sure what I was more surprised at: finding the CV online or finding that she’d added my film to it. Anyway I’m glad I found it, she’s a great actress and has been in Doctor Who and Torchwood several times since.
Great work Jo!
Transformers The Movie website TransformersTheMovie.com has the trailer for the new Transformers movie from Michael Bay. This one has big frickin’ robots fighting, the full money shots and Optimus Prime.
This looks awsome. Can’t wait.

The first impression anyone gets of your company image tends to be your business logo, take Mr Daz for example. Our logo was based on a caricature by local Welsh designer Aled Williams and captures the essence of our site perfectly… whatever that may be.
If you’re looking for logo design the other side of the pond however you could try Logo Tree. Their site features a huge list of logo samples; all of them pretty top quality. A logo designer stands and falls by the quality of their work, and you can view all of their recent work in their gallery here.
Unlike some secretive designers Logo Tree’s website features an explanation of the design process, so you know just how much work goes into the creation of your logo and what you’re paying for at the end of the day. I’ve know some designers to copy their designs out of books, so it’s nice to see some methodology in these guys work.
One of the best features of Logo Tree is that they offer animated logos, perfect for websites or media companies.
Prices start at just under $600 for their ‘essential package’ and feature 9 different logos to choose from. See their full range of prices here.
For the last two nights now my flatmate Paul Burgess and myself have tried to look for a flat in Manchester. Tuesday night in the town centre and last night in Didsbury. Both times our search didn’t really go any further than a bar.
In our defence, we need to check out the local watering holes before deciding on our place of domicile – but yeah, we probably should at least look at one flat on our search.
We’ll try again next week, wish us luck.
It’s not often I post something positive here, so pay attention when I do. I’ve come across a website from a design agency based in New York and it’s bloody amazing.
Rather than just being a nice looking site (as you’d hope the website for a design agency would be) it’s also well built and constructed in SEO terms. Something most design agencies have no conept of.
Top marks to these guys.
It’s the last day of the football season and I’m sat here listening to it on the radio. Why? Because I’ve cancelled Sky… why? Because they’re money grabbing bastards who think more about getting new customers than looking after the ones they already have.
I’ve been with Sky for over 4 years, and wanted to upgrade to Sky +. Not an unreasonable request eh? Seems for me to do that they wanted me to pay DOUBLE what my next door neighbour would pay as he doesn’t have Sky.
How is that for loyalty to your customers.
Naturally I said screw that, and cancelled the bloody thing. They then had the cheek to phone up and ask why I’d cancelled, and offered me all maner of shite in order to resubscribe, including Sky + for free.
I couldn’t believe it, naturally I said no. If they want to rip off their existing customers that’s up to them, but I’m not going to rejoin a company that makes it its policy to do just that.
So here I am, listening to the last day of the Premier League season on Five Live.
Come on Robbie Fowler!
