SteveGill.me.uk: The Sky is limited
http://peaksteve.blogspot.com/2009/06/sky-is-limited.html
Friday, 19 June 2009. The Sky is limited. Pop quiz: you need to solve a problem with your Sky TV service. Do you:. A) Call the helpline telephone number that appeared along with the error message on your Sky box. B) Google the fault, and solve it yourself with the aid of the first three results it finds? I, being in a really silly mood, decided to try option "a" - and that's why I'm blogging today. Why was I calling Sky in the first place? It's all John Barrowman's fault. And here was the problem; the se...

Monday, 28 September 2009. It starts at the top, but comes out of the bottom. Many people complain that they have been crapped on by their boss. But they put up with this because their boss is also the person who pays them. Which is fair enough. How should you respond when you're shat upon by your boss when you're a charity volunteer? Soundly pissing them all off via your self-righteous blog is probably not a good idea. Was to be given £10.50 funding for each swine flu vaccination it provides (a...But th...

Thursday, 19 January 2012. I've just finished watching the final part of the excellent "Story of Musicals" on BBC Four. A three-part documentary, it charted the rise of British musical theatre from its revival in the 1960s with "Oliver! Through the mega-hits from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh in the 70s, 80s and early 90s, though to the latest hit shows. And popping up very near the end was the "jukebox musical". That year brought us the jukebox musical that changed it all - "Mamma Mia!

SteveGill.me.uk: Licence to Drivel
http://peaksteve.blogspot.com/2010/09/licence-to-drivel.html
Saturday, 11 September 2010. Another post, another Farcebook-related rant. Ho hum, you may think. But this time, the target of my ire is a Farcebook cause entitled "lets get the uk tv licence abolished", and it has annoyed me more than I thought possible. The reason for this is simple - every single person who has posted support to the thread is a complete imbecile. It would take 12 of them to make a halfwit. Let's take some of the choicest recent comments, shall we? Sarah Page stops scraping her knuckle...

Friday, 20 August 2010. You've never heard of it, because the marketing department of H2Om water has just made it up. Welcome to the painful world of pseudo-science, or "bollocks" if you prefer. You see, H2Om is not normal spring water. (Actually, that's exactly what it is. But let's not let facts get in the way at this early stage.) It has "vibration energy" in it. Yes, in. First of all, they ensure that the bottle labels have the correct vibrational energy. Yes, that's right - the labels. Sound waves v...

Sunday, 26 April 2009. At the 18 mile point. Cathy crossed the start line at 10.01am. Saturday, 25 April 2009. Friday, 24 April 2009. Looks like this. Try and spot one on the telly on Sunday. Just in case you forget. They even give you safety pins when you collect your race number! Seven of them, for some reason. At the Marathon Expo. Cathy has her number, her goody bag, and we're all full of pasta! Right - train time. See you later! Tuesday, 21 April 2009. No, this is about something much more important...
