  • Mr Noseybonk

    Mr Noseybonk in the greenhouse, via Darren. I don’t think that the words double entendre quite go far enough.

  • Weekend activity

    You need to go to the Garden and Art Event at West Dean this weekend. You do, really.

  • Spam milestone

    Today, Akismet caught the 100,000th spam comment sent to this site. The first 50,000 took 139 days to arrive, whereas the next 50,000 were posted over just 95 days – so the rate of spamming is increasing, in spite of the fact that not a single one of these comments has been published.

    Over the last three months, 527 spam comments have been posted on grayblog each day, on average. This equates to one new spam comment every 2 minutes and 44 seconds.

  • Interesting book

    EU wrestling with age-old ideas – which goes to prove that there is nothing new under the sun.

  • Soundtrack

    There is a lot that I should be writing about here at the moment, but time pressures prohibit me from doing so. I’m travelling to the Netherlands this week, so if you’re lucky you might get some airport blogging.

    In the meantime, here is a current playlist (aside from several CDs that are getting a lot of rotation time):

    • Lupe Fiasco – Kick Push
    • Amerie – One Thing
    • Hird – Love Again
    • People Under The Stairs – The Dig
    • The White Stripes – Blue Orchid
    • Ladytron – Soft Power
    • Go! Team – Ladyflash
    • OMD – Sealand
    • Curve – Coast is Clear
    • Bass-O-Matic – Fascinating Rhythm (12" version)
    • Editors – Munich
    • Jazzanova – Bohemian Sunset
    • Ladytron – Fighting in Built-Up Areas
    • Neotropic – Under Violent Objects
    • Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dear Prudence
    • Zombies – Time of the Season
    • Amon Tobin – The Lighthouse

    Willfully eclectic?

  • Vote Seagulls

    The Seagulls Party is formed to contest local elections and by-elections on a platform of supporting the new Brighton and Hove Albion stadium at Falmer. I don’t suppose that they will put a candidate up for Ruralville (we’re too far away), but if they do then they’ll get my vote.

  • Still very busy

    I’ll try and update at the weekend, possibly including exciting pictures of The Front Garden Project, which is now well and truly underway.

    Hmmm. The banned cartoon post was the 6000th post here, and I only just noticed.

  • Formula G1

    Formula G1 – a very fast racing game.

  • It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood

    Log. Rubber Nipple Salesmen. And Ewalt and Abner.

    YouTube is not good for productivity.

  • Banned cartoon collection

    1930s and 1940s banned cartoons – some of which are truly offensive, others only mildly so – but only when judged by today’s standards. Back then, it was an entirely normal reflection of current societal norms. Includes Coal Black an’ de Sebben Dwarfs.
