Now I’m going to bring it down a notch, and get somewhat serious. A friend of mine asked me the other day how did I go about selecting a web host. In the very early days, before I knew what wordpress was, I hosted SwollenPickles.com with a local hosting company. My first host was found [...]

Ever since Swollen Pickles turned up on one of those “blogs with top commentators installed” lists, the number of comments here have increased quite a bit. I’ve also noticed quite a few inbound links coming from sites that seem to have cut and pasted the original list.

In the proud tradition of other great train wreck live music performances (remember Stephanie MacIntosh?) I present to you the G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S Fergie hitting all sorts of ungodly notes, and missing 99% of her vocal cues, whilst murdering “Live and Let Die”.

After a combination of anticipation and hesitation I saw Hitman at the movies on the weekend. The movie follows the exploits of video game legend Agent 47, from the Hitman collection of games. Agent 47 is a highly trained killer for hire. As in the game, Agent 47 has been trained from birth to become [...]

Billiards is one of those games that I’d like to be able to play a lot more of if only I had more time or resources. If you are going to go out and buy all the gear you need, including the table, billiards quickly becomes a rich mans sport. At least, that’s what I [...]

Today’s pet hate is tossers that walk around with their Bluetooth headset in place, talking on their mobile phones for all the world to hear. Like I really want to hear what someone elses lunch plans are, or how the painter was supposed to turn up at 11am but didn’t get there until 4pm.
There should [...]
