Dear Mr Nobody


Toilet roll with writing on it. Dear Mr Nobody, you might think you're being sly,
Hiding in the shadows, like a secret service spy,
But let me tell you something, I know your little game,
Whenever there's a mishap, you're the one to blame.

The lid is off the jam again, there's a sticky cupboard door,
And, somewhat inexplicably, Rice Krispies on the floor.
In the bathroom is an empty space where the toilet roll should be,
Towels are screwed up on the floor and I know it wasn't me.

The Run In. A Football Guest Post by Phil


As the football season draws to a close, fans are starting to get nervous about their teams. Will they make the top 4 and get into Europe? Will they escape relegation? Either way it's going to be close and the burning question that the whole footballing nation wants to know is; can anyone catch Leicester City and how many doughnuts will be in it if they do? Leicester have made a lot of friends this season and gained a lot of admiration, rightly so I believe. They don't have a team of global superstars, yet they work their socks off and have produced some stunning results.

Instant Ink from HP; One Less Thing to Remember!


Once upon a time, not so long ago, printers were huge noisy machines, printing rows of grey words and figures on piles of perforated paper in the corners of office blocks. Yes, I realise that probably does reveal my age a bit, but it amazes me how far technology has come in a relatively short time, because I'm not actually that old, but I do remember those days. It's funny to think that people printing out their spreadsheets and invoices in the 70's and 80's with that oh-so-familiar noise of the dot matrix forming each character from tiny dots, would never be able to imagine how versatile printers are these days.

Famous, Rich and Homeless; View from a Cynic

Julia Bradberry in Famous, Rich and Homeless
How on earth do you pretend to be homeless? This was the question a lot of people were asking when Famous, Rich and Homeless arrived on our screens in aid of Sport Relief. This was a very sensitive subject and, with a title like that, this show had the potential to fall flat on its face as a patronising pat on the head to anyone currently grappling with the reality of this horrendous situation. Surely, anyone who goes into this knowing they have a warm bed to return to at the end of the 'experiment' can't really learn anything... can they?
