After managing to stay well-behaved and on Santa’s nice throughout the year, I have fallen at the final hurdle!
With all good intentions, I wrote a blog post about Ray – a Leeds United fan from the television series, The Undateables.
My innocent post included a clip of Ray meeting some of the Leeds players – a Christmas present, organised by his girlfriend, which is something I am not at all envious of…
No sooner had I uploaded the short video clip from the series to my YouTube account, this email dropped into my inbox…
Oh no!
Given that the email arrived as soon as the video had uploaded, I am willing to guess that some clever bot – presumably Robocop – detected the crime and grassed me up to Santa.
I have six days to make amends for my frightful behaviour – that is unless Robocop doesn’t find me first and chucks me into a filthy, high-security jail.
Psst! Between you and me – and certainly not Father Christmas, Robocop or the CEO of Channel 4 television – here is the video I could not upload to YouTube.
Before anyone adds me to the Naughty List for the next 500 years, please take note that the video in my link, is actually on some random Twitter account – so no bad behaviour committed by me this time…
UPDATE
After writing all of this spiel, it appears that the YouTube video, which had originally been blocked, is now working. Talk about wasting my time. I assume this means that I’m off the Naughty List?
Ray from The Undateables, receives a special Leeds United gift.
Like Leeds fans worldwide, I’m not at all envious…
I received an email from Amazon yesterday evening, advising that they were carrying out a product recall on a brand of hot chocolate pods, which I had purchased a few weeks ago…
The product you purchased is affected because it may contain plastic fragments from the pod. If you still have this product, please throw it away immediately and do not use it. There is no need for you to return any product to us.
When advised what to do, should I discover any plastic in my beverage, the email went on to say “don’t blog about it too loudly, or everyone will want some!”.
OK, OK… in case any of Amazon’s lawyers are reading, that last bit was made up. But if you want a legal battle, I’ll happily see you in court to discuss the three boxes of hot chocolate that I have already drank and the amount of plastic inadvertently consumed.
Do I have a case? What say you, Judge Rinder?
The funny thing about the whole issue is the error message received, should you click onto the old link to the hot chocolate product…
Well, well, well! Portsmouth Football Club can’t have thought much about the highly sought-after trophy, the Roman Chalice.
Having only become the holders of the honour last week, they surrendered it with a whimper this weekend.
While Leeds were throwing away a 3-0 lead to Cardiff City (something I am still yet to recover from), Portsmouth were rolling over to Accrington Stanley.
Congratulations to Accrington, but commiserations to Pompey – fancy losing to a team made famous by milk…
A Twitter account recently posted screenshots of political party websites from 1996.
As someone who took up an interest in web design that same year (as you can tell, I was one of the cool kids), many elements of these websites look very familiar!
I love the use of frames and really hope that there is an embedded MIDI file, playing some tacky music – perhaps The Lighthouse Family on the Labour page?
Sadly, not one of the websites appear to use animated GIFs, or make use of a hit counter and guest book.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
