I’m still here, don’t panic. Once again the ever present problem rears its head where there’s so much going on and so many cool things to do & people to see that there’s not time to blog about any of it. Currently I’m sitting in Singapore’s Changi Airport trying not to spend any money, and…
Near work we’ve got a cafe which operates a loyalty card system. Unfortunately, as they also have a policy of employing non-native English speakers, my attempts to educate them on the subtle errors on that loyalty card have proven fruitless. Despite my repeated attempts to get my sixth coffee for free, apparently I’m only allowed…
2 phrases that thoroughly get my lexicographical hackles / heckles / feckles / schmeckles up (ignoring for a minute my favourite dead horse, the word “sorry”), are the following: “Deeply”: the problem with rampantly overenthusing or overgravatising things is that when you go to actually express what you’re feeling you suddenly feel like you’re not…

You can typically tell these ones because you get an exchange which includes the phrase “it’s a type of”, e.g….
OK, so for this post to be interesting, you’d probably have to be familiar with Facebook, and Twitter. Cos we’re so Web 2.0 here at Humpy Towers. And I’m going to assume that you are too. Facebook has just introduced a new layout, and judging by peoples’ recent comments (where “people” == “my Facebook friends”)…
Being a reasonably ethical chap I suppose I am continually flabbergasted at some of the activities my fellow human beings will undertake in order to get ahead in life.
