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:

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Based on this slightly out of date article, it’s advised to reset your sync settings first.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:

Ace Frehley unreleased album
OK so I was a Kiss fan, there you go. Before Gene made sweet love to his first dollar, they did write some OK tunes - and about ten thousand shit ones. Anyway, I’ve found this podcast the Classic Metal Show (CMS). And lo and behold, they claim they’ve found an unreleased Ace Frehley solo [...]

Paul Stanley Backwards
This just proves how far some people will go to prove a point. This bloke reckons that the Kiss song ‘Heaven’s on Fire’ contains a backwards message. “Paint the Sky” backwards is apparently “I suck dick”.
You judge for yourself. I just like the tag line, “There you have it folks. Paul Stanley is gay without [...]

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 [...]
