[Revisited] Another quality image from the archive. Just a quick reminder that Borat is out on DVD on Monday; and I recommend it. I'm just seen the new Bud advert. Bouncy floors? No lager would open without massive spraying after even the faintest shaking.

[This is a sponsored post] Going back to talking about Cheltenham Races; there is a lot of buzz for the main race; The Gold Cup. I'm a firm believer in not betting for the favourite; who this year is Kauto Star. I made a tidy sum last year on War of Attrition, but will probably stump for something like State of Play; or something with tidy odds. For more info on the festival visit http:/betting.betfair.com/horse-racing/cheltenham/.
This isn't an entry for Name That Tube, but just a pic that I took on a recent trip to London using my mobile. I feel it captures the rush of the platform and the still/quiet aspect of the train really well - which is good cos normally the photos this thing takes are a bag of balls.

[This is a Sponsored Post] - I love Cheltenham, its been a home to me since 1999, and is a beautiful place. Later this month is the Gold Cup takes place at the racecourse, and I can't wait. The atmosphere is immense, and St. Patrick's Day always crops up on the big day! I only do horse racing betting during the Cheltenham festival; and Betfair have one of the lowest commisions out there, so they get my vote. Be sure to check back for reports from the festival, with images on my other blog!

Number 72 - Ok, I'll leave 71 for a bit, maybe it was a bit too abstract? Back to the old' skool system with a brand new image for you. Jim - I'm timing you.

Number 71 - This is another post where you have to guess which station is in the photo. Why is Hollyoaks so depressing? Can't anyone be happy? Judging by todays episode on E4 (tomorrow's channel 4 episode) says 'no'.
[This is a Sponsored Post] All things that should have wires that technology has bred without; facinate me. I've seen mobile phones with wifi earphones so that you can listen to mp3s without wires everywhere. Secure networking wirelessly is breath-taking. The places you can be whilst securely surfing the net; the garden, the pub, the tube; the posibilities are endless. I have a wireless internet connection at my flat, and I can't imagine ever going back to stoneage wires ever again. Cisco can help out with all of these things and much more. We have wireless games consoles; what is the next wireless barrier?

Number 70 - Its a brand new post! Once again this is a new slant on the 'Name That Tube' game. This is a pic I took on a recent outing with the station name deleted, but which is it? You can click the pic to make it big. See some of my other phone snaps here.
[This is a Sponsored Post] As far as my finances go; I'm quite lucky. I've got a nice job that I love, and it pays me well for my experience. If I needed a loan, or wanted a credit card (I don't personally believe that you would NEED a credit card), then I would look for all the advice if could get about the best deal. When it comes to rates, interest, payments etc... I know nothing. www.creditloan.com is able to help with this and more, including bad credit credit cards and debt consolidation. They even offer advice for us folks here in the UK.
[revisited] This is one of my favourites; it took ages to think up, a while to find the image; and a few minutes to 'shop together. Then Jim steams in within a few seconds and gets it first time! Typical! You could humour me Jim! Say Shepherd's Bush or something!
[This this a Sponsored Post] I don't think I could ever wear contact lenses, I have a complete phobia about touching my eyes. If I had to wear glasses, I don't think I could switch to lenses; the whole idea just seems alien. Lots of people use lenses every day; but the entire concept frankly scares me!

Once again number 69 is back to bother you. Its quite easy. I hope in some way that the site breaks up your busy day with a slight bit of relief. Thanks for reading.
[This post Sponsored by Brookstone] What a great new idea; a Wireless Outdoor Speaker! I'm always bothered by earphone and speaker wires getting in the way, and having to move furniture to install them. You can connect this nifty gadget up to your MP3 player or Ipod and take the speaker any where in the house - it's even waterproof, so take it outside if you prefer. I think i would just keep it around the house, I hate having to have to plug my speakers up in the lounge, or move them back to my room - this solves everything! Except world peace.





Is Graham Norton funny anymore? When he was on Channel 4 he seemed alot more funnier, and now he's on the beeb, he's lost it. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy, he'd rip the piss out of Bill Cosby for doing family orientated films, and now Eddie's doing Daddy Daycare Centre. How did I get from Graham to Eddie so easily?
[This is a Sponsored Post] I don't understand too much about mortgages; apart from the fact that I hope to get one, one day. I've seen the One Account adverts that say that they have a revolutionary system that will shrink your mortgage. Basically, this debt of a mortgage is combined with your current account, so that your salary is offset against it reducing it over a period of time. You can also put anything lef tin your account at the end of the month towards your mortgage; shrinking it with no penalty fees. Plus they let you take payments breaks. Sounds good to me.

Number 68 - Here is number 68 again, can anyone guess which station it is.... cos I'm not GOing to start handing out clues willy-nilly. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Did you see the rocket on Top Gear? Awesome.

[This is a Sponsored Post] - Pay Per Post is a great service. It pays everyday bloggers like you and me cash (via Paypal) to pitch various products and services through sponsored content. Personally i have made over $200 in just over a month from the site, which is around £120. Not alot you might think, but you can do it in your spare time and takes minutes to do. Start to earn money from your blog, as long as your site has been around for over 3 months and has over 20 posts (with no more than 30 days between them). You get paid once the post has been live for 30 days. A friend of mine actually met the founders of PPP recently at London SES, and said they were nice guys; they had flown all the way from the states to talk about the PPP service. Apparently over 1500 UK bloggers are signed up; and some bloggers around the world have made thousands.

I've found the service very easy to deal with; and I don't feel that the posts draw from my blogs main issues, and means that my blogs are starting to pay for themselves; and are adding to my beer fund.

Number 69 - Ok, We'll leave the last one for a bit; no one had a crack at it, I'll try posting it again in a bit. Here's a new one for you guys. I'm really liking watching SKins at the moment! - top TV.
[This is a Sponsored Post] I hate web searches that fail to bring back relevent info (are you listening Yahoo?) Watch 4 a Job realises this; when you want to search for a job you actually specify what you want, and lets you know when its available. So instead of searching loads, just go to the page for jobs in Somerset, or jobs in Birmingham for example. You might want to really push the boat out, and look for jobs in Gloucestershire. As their website says; "If the job you want is here we guarantee you'll find it. - If it's not we promise to tell you when it is."

Number 68 - This is a special post as you must guess the station from the satellite photo on the left. The clues are there for you. I'm on location Tuesday/Wednesday, so I may be away for a while.
