Top ten tips for creating angry employees

I’m somewhat of an expert on anger. I think I’ve had good teachers, which is to say, I’ve worked for some very bad managers who were absolute masters in the art of infuriating their employees. I’ve decided to distill all the worst anger-instilling behaviour I’ve witnessed over the years into a top ten list - [...]

Michelle Malkin’s secret lesbian sex tape leaked

OK, I should admit up front that I don’t think that’s Michelle Malkin you see in this video.  To the best of my knowledge Michelle Malkin has not indulged in lesbian sex or made a sex tape of any kind.  But that girl at the front kinda looks a bit like her.  And I’m incredibly [...]

Sometimes being positive can get you killed

I’m all for positivity in the workplace, most of what I put in this blog are jokes (grounded in reality) but I usually wouldn’t act remotely like “Mr Angry” to anybody in real life, particularly at work. But every now and then someone gets just a bit too goddam cheerful at precisely the wrong fucking [...]

Stephen Colbert, ZeFrank, a doughnut and a predictable backlash

Long-time readers of this blog will know I’m a big fan of Stephen Colbert, having formed the Church of Colbert earlier in the year after being simply overwhelmed by his ballsiness in ripping on George W Bush at the Whitehouse Correspondents Dinner.  While Bush was sitting about an arm’s length away from him.  Go and [...]

Medicine is voodoo!

…Wherein I recount my misadventures with the head-hole spelunking ear specialist who traumatised me:

On the subject of videos, I’m doing my next piece for The Blogging Times in the next 24 hours.  If anyone has any suggestions for a topic I’d be glad to hear them.  Something topical about the internet generally or bloggin specifically [...]

Being obsessive is weird, even when you’re right

I’m starting to think all governments should be run by obsessive-compulsive hypochondriacs. We’re already dealing with a world run by people with severe personality disorders (usually of the Narcissistic sociopath variety) so I think we should simply switch the personality disorders involved. Seriously, all the major ills of the world could be fixed by OCD [...]

The voices tell me what to do

It’s Sunday.  I’m trying to think of what to do for my blog.  I’m feeling a little… peculiar.  Then the inevitable happens.  I switch on the video camera.

The Revver URL for this video is http://revver.com/video/52969/20579

And what did the voices tell me?  The told me another sign of the impending apocalypse.

Help! They’ve stolen my creativity!

Anyone who’s read this blog for a while will know that I’ve got a fairly liberal attitude towards content linking and re-use AND I’ve had some complete scumbag straight up steal my work and provide no credit back. The scumbags in question particularly pissed me off because they reproduced one of my posts in total, [...]

I’ve been possessed by the spirit of Barry White

Which is to say, my voice is all deep and husky on account of this fucking chest cold. On the plus side, with my voice sounding like this, I could start a new career working on a phone sex line. I can’t see it lasting though, I’d start off sounding all sexy and sultry then [...]

It’s official - I’m on The Blogging Times!

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know how fixated I am on world domination so I’m very pleased to announce that Phase Two has begun. After a whirlwind of high-powered meetings (involving a couple of emails saying “You wanna do this?” , “Yeah, sure.” ;) my first video blog is up at The Blogging Times.
Here’s [...]
