A bit of a tweek

Published on April 25, 2006

Well, I’ve been figuring out this CSS stuff and am certainly getting better at it. So I’ve stylised this blog a bit so it looks more like the general Goonanism site.
Please let me know what you think. It’s not 100% finished as I’ve still go a few things I want to tweek but it’s [...]


..tis a sad day for the blogsphere.

Published on April 20, 2006

First this, then this. What’s the world coming to, these are both blogs that I enjoy so much. Mind you, it’s almost by definition, good to know when to stop and I need to remind myself that these people aren’t hear solely to get me through my working day. It always take [...]

You know what else shits me? U2.

Suicide Girls

Published on

So I went and saw the Suicide Girl’s show last night. I’ve got to say that I wasn’t overly impressed. I don’t know what I was expecting but all I got was a titty show.
You see, by defult, I’ve a problem with pornography and such related things (ie a titty show). Because [...]

Now I know why.
