Richard Hammond Biography

Er, frankly not what I expected. Here’s the breakdown:

2% about James May and the Jeremy Clarkson
10% childhood
10% getting to Top Gear
13% Top Gear pre-accident
75% ‘the accident’

Don’t get me wrong, of course I expected it to be about the accident. But much like the Walk the Line movie about Johnny Cash, I expected a big crescendo [...]

Sync Outlook with iPhone 3G

OK let me save you an hour of your life. You will need:

1 USB cable
latest copy of iTunes
Your Outlook (I have 2003), computer and phone.

Based on this slightly out of date article, it’s advised to reset your sync settings first. It was necessary for me. You need to:

Airsharing is a relatively cheap application for your iPhone. Basically, it sets up a web server on your iphone which [...]

Jonesy’s Jukebox rocks

What is Jonesy’s jukebox? It’s Steve Jones, guitarist of the on again/off again Sex Pistols and shit talker extraordinaire. Jones has been based in LA for quite some time and when in town, pommies flock to him like moths to a flame. The locals, they seem infactuated with his apparently large member and charming Shepherd’s [...]

Which came first, the Buick or the Falcon?

Was reading Auto Blog today and found this. Frankly I was a bit perturbed. The Aussie FG Falcon might not be selling like hot cakes, but it’s a bloody good looking piece of kit. On the other hand, most Buicks I think are ostentatious, US centric and frankly hideous looking. Well this Buick Regal, aside [...]
