Forgot to mention, they've also made AirLink even posher with free WiFi and electrical sockets, yet at the same time also cheapened it a bit with multicoloured lighting and a sky painted on the ceiling. Bit weird really. Passed one the other evening, and looked a bit like one of those party buses bu...

Not really a rebranding but apparently Lothian Buses are reverting back to their dated maroon (or 'madder') and white colours for the buses and trams, 10 years after replacing it. Not quite, it's a new interpretation on it. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AEYFXXMYV I saw two of the new buses w...

Britain's self-proclaimed brightest energy company has had a bit of a refresh too. From this: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/scottishtv/npower_old.jpg To this: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/scottishtv/npower_new.jpg The company says it's to mark ten years of it's existance as npower, and also for the sta...

The Conservatives can't win on that score really, because whenever they do appoint black or minority ethnic ministers or appear in the media with BME voters, people queue up to criticise them for allegedly trying to deceive the public into thinking they're a BME-friendly party when they're not. I'v...

Jesus, he's not even got the keys to Downing Street and he's reverting to type. I tend to agree. As a politics graduate, I hate myself for resorting to feelings as opposed to rational policy arguments. But watching Cameron in front of the Thames this morning - surrounded by white, City men in suits...

Thanks for the thoughts. I know T-Mobile are offering good deals but it's really difficult to get a good signal on their network at my flat. I've also been with Vodafone for years, and am fairly happy with the service - which I will try to use to my advantage in a good old-fashioned haggle over the ...

Just laid hands on my HTC desire. Massively better than the hero and incredibly fast. Form factor is lovely too. I've been waiting for this phone for ages. Well, a Nexus One is what I wanted - but I then held off for this. However, moments away from pre-ordering with Vodafone, I'm now getting cold ...

Drunken man who kept locking himself in the bathroom, and then vomited all over it; the young woman who had no reserved seat and moved from one reserved seat to another - annoying everyone who came on to claim it - but by that point her books and laptop and other scattered minutiae was all over the...

Sorry, but one of mine is when people say 'floor' referring to ouside in a street instead of 'the ground'.

Butchers Shop - that's what they're calling it!! Maybe this was only a Scottish thing - but Inverness, Aberdeen and Edinburgh had these counters (likely Glasgow and others too served by the Cumbernauld distribution centre). The units were also hellish from a maintenance point of view as there was a...

And from what I've seen so far, completely unused. M&S shoppers like their packet food!! When I was a young lad, I worked for M&S at the weekends - warehouse, emptying lorries, collecting trolleys etc. It was about eight years ago now, but anyway they had a butchery counter at the store I w...
