Pandora Radio Station

This is quite a nifty little online app. Type in your favourite music artist and it’ll make a radio station based on your suggestion. Sounds good so far.

It wouldn’t find Bobby Konders, SL2, Bah Samba or Charles Webster but when I tried Miguel Migs it came up with a Restless Soul track - very nice. Now its come up with an Abacus track, sorted!

Check it out. No downloads required.

Why can’t I get ITV and C4 on Freeview? Well I can’t receive Muliplex 2 as seen on this chart. And that’s because I haven’t got line of sight to the Whitehawk transmitter as can be worked out using this terrain calculator. Simple, huh?

R.I.P Sam - The Ugliest Dog In The World

Posted on November 27th, 2005 at 3:05 pm

Sam Ugliest Dog
SAM passed away on Friday, November 18. News traveled very quickly, and Susie received emails from around the world expressing condolences, and many expressing how SAM had affected their lives. There has truly been an outpouring of love. SAM touched people in very different ways, from eliciting almost uncontrollabe laughter to being a little frightened, but mostly it was SAM’s and Susie’s relationship that enormored them to so many. There can be love, affection and respect for even the seemingly unattractive souls of this world.

You can watch a video of it here.

I saw this as I was coming out of Tescos. Biggest dog I’ve seen in a long time. I took this fully standing up and I’m over 6ft tall. A giant among dogs.

I hate Parcel Force!

Posted on November 8th, 2005 at 10:59 am

Their website is still saying their expected delivery date of my parcel is yesterday, the 7th of November.

There is also no way to talk to a representative on the phone, it’s 100% automated.

Half an hour after sending them an eMail they reply by telling me about what part of their website I need to use to answer my query. Sorry, I didn’t see the “Can you please tell me where my f***ing parcel is!!” button.

Whenever I get a parcel delivered by CityLink I’m always amazed at their efficiency. So looks like I have to wait inside all day today too.
