Sadly, the Airfix Spitfire is no more. Thirty-one of the company’s 41 employees were last night made redundant after “severe cash flow pressures” and disruption of supplies from Heller - itself now insolvent - finally shot down the company.
The Atlanta Braves beat San Francisco 13 - 8 as Barry Bonds hits 2 home runs. His last game with 2 home runs? August 29th 2004, yes two whole years ago, and the venue? Turner Field against the Braves… Silly little trivia for you.
Why’d you have to go and introduce easy geotagging to your fine, fine site?
Now you’ve made my life miserable as I’ll no doubt have to go through my 2,319 photos and tag them as best as I can…
It’s been a while since I last did this, and this time it’s my work edition, here’s what get me through the day.
There IS a big, ultimate, 6-film Star Wars anniversary DVD box set planned for 2007. There will be more changes to the films, and there will be LOTS of new, never-before-seen special features - all the good stuff that was held back by Lucasfilm from the original Trilogy DVD release a few years ago. And so the LucasFilm cash cow keeps on rolling… And I’m an SO there!
I like to think of myself as a well-traveled individual, I mean, in the last ten years I’ve been to places like Florence, Italy; Oslo, Norway; Dublin, Ireland; all over the United Kingdom and many many places within the continental United States, why just this month we’re off again to Walt Disney World in Orlando and possibly another trip to Charlotte…
So, picking up from a few days ago, Robyn spent the night at Lake Lanier for her works big summer blowout, I was left here with three cats, two of which seemingly have an abundance of energy, as long as it’s after 10pm.
It’s finally happened, after 4 years my @scamcity.co.uk address has succumbed to the plague of the spammers. It never used to be that bad, a couple here, a couple there, but last night between 7pm and 11pm, 2,000+…
Something had to be done…
Who green lighted this abomination?
The more I see and read about this Transformers movie, the more a part of my childhood slips away… And for that I want Michael Bay’s head on a spike, and I want it now!
It’s been a boring week, I’d like to say I’ve been busy as hell at work but nah, this week has been a holding pattern of sorts while we wait on clients providing content… So I’m getting paid to do research and listen to Lucinda Williams for the most part, the sad thing is my contract here is almost up (actually, it expired on Friday past but I’ve got an extra 2 weeks to “tie up loose ends”).
It’s surprisingly not often I buy stuff, but a package came in the mail today from an eBay auction I won on a whim last week…
Oh yes, some classic Nike Air Jordan VI retros*… I know you’re not jealous, but I’ll pretend you are.
Heard the one about the Irish firm that claims to have developed a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy? No? Me neither, I would have expected this kind of physics defying news to at least be covered by everyone, but no… I guess this world really does follow the laws of thermodynamics when it comes to potential hoaxes…
