We were batting around some Coors Light ideas in London yesterday. For reasons that I won’t go into, the “other Phil” and I were both simultaneously reminded of this clip. Genius. They don’t make them like this any more.
Not only has he got a whole category devoted to him, he’s now apparently buying T-shirts with the sole purpose of getting them featured on the blog. If it hadn’t been such a long time since our last post I’d have deliberately ignored this one.
Not sure what the whole Edward Bananahands thing is about either.
Josh showed me this great Flickr set – Always being up for a bit of experimentation we thought we’d have a crack ourselves – Here are the results kids! Enjoy.

Random creative moment in front of the TV!
Im moving away on Friday and with no cooking experience Rob kindly let me borrow this book.
How long will i last, no one knows.
Recipes on a post card.
Im becoming a proper grown up and moving into my first flat next week, and it just happened to be my birthday yesterday, so Nick kindly got me some birthday/housewarming presents!
I can not cook at all… But now i have the tools to grate cheese, peel vegetables (???) and open bottles properly!!
I just placed them on my desk and they started going at it!!!
They all got involved! slags!
Thank you Nick!!!
Mitra has to dress up as a villain for a forthcoming party, and was looking for suggestions. Nick reckoned that he’d go as Syndrome from The Incredibles because he wouldn’t have to make much effort.
The rest of us can’t quite see it…
Or #|, I should say. Sorry - it’s a geeky post, nowhere near as interesting as the title sounds…
Anyway, I’ve recently been blessed (cursed?) with switching to Mac - aside from the rather painful purchase price of the machine itself I’ve noticed two things:
1. Older mac users are jealous of 8 core machines.
(thbthbhththbh!)
2. Someone forgot to put the hash key on the keyboard.
I’ll say that again for emphasis: SOMEONE FORGOT TO PUT THE EFFING HASH KEY ON THE KEYBOARD.
(Disclaimer: UK keyboard, I’m fairly sure it’s there on the US one, and it’s probably got a cosy home of its own somewhere else on various other keyboards for various other nationalities but on the UK one it’s just not there)
Thankfully, older Mac users know where this completely indispensible (if you’re a web developer) key is hidden. If you’re nice and stop taunting them with screengrabs of your CPUs they’ll sometimes tell you too.
Failing that, as always, the intarweb doth provide.
Now I can see that the keyboard layout is a tricky thing to fit everything into - you only have so many symbols you can put on it and still have that “Designed by Apple in California” look…
But the UK keyboard layout has a handy little euro sign above the 2, next to the @key to say “look, I’m here, alt-2 is me! click me! please!”, just incase I’d ever actually use a euro sign (rather than €) - I’ve not yet… but you never know. It’s on the keyboard - it’s not the easiest key to hit by accident or anything, but it’s there….
For some reason though someone somewhere thought that finding the ubiquitous # symbol situated at alt-3 on the key right next to that euro sign would best be left as an exercise to the user…
Perhaps it’s meant as an intriguing alternate reality game experience taking the user onto a journey throughout the interweb. Or possibly it was intended to encourage socialising with fellow mac users, who would take a pitying (and slightly smug) look at you, bemoan your misspent PC upbringing and then enlighten you with their Macly wisdom.
That or someone just fucked up.

Cake queen Rachel created another masterpiece for Garrys birthday
ROCKING!
So Keith, you think that by hoarding handfuls of M&S plastic cutlery, sealed in cellophane, you will be able to enjoy your favourite onkens and mullers, safe in the knowledge that no-one else’s cakehole has dirtied the precious spoons (and forks)?
Think again…….
