Stuff'n'Things

Hi Sam fans,

You could buy a new laptop or save yourself £1300 and upgrade the one you have. £40 bought me a new 320GB hard drive, £60 bought me 4GB of RAM and £25 bought me a new operating system. Add a little patience and I have a brand new computer. This is how I did it.

Hi Sam fans,

So, FYI – Man should be brave.

Just in case it had slipped your mind, French Connection is on hand to remind you.

However there are two sorts of bravery. The first runs along the lines of possessing or exhibiting courageous endurance. Soldiers in Afghanistan would be a good example, but anyone standing up to an oppressor at considerable personal risk would count.

And then there is the second form of bravery advanced by French Connection. This is much harder to achieve because it requires you to make yourself look like a complete twonk.

In fact, you have to make yourself look like such a complete twonk that there is a danger that your bravery could just be confused for you actually being a complete twonk. How brave is that.

Fortunately, as anyone who shops at French Connection will tell you, you don’t have to get sand in your hair to show that you are a real man. Just slip on some bunny ears.

Hi Sam fans,

The soundtrack to your weekend has arrived. Featuring 60 of your favourite songs from TopShop, here is the Ministry of Sound’s Funky House.

‘Show me love’, ‘Love on my mind’, ‘Make luv’, and the aptly titled ‘Love has gone’, bring back all those special moments lingering around the earrings, endlessly waiting.

Turn it up loud, open your wardrobe doors, stare blankly at your girlfriends clothes and relive your banging Saturday in H&M.

Hi Vedanta,

You are a right bunch of little fuckers.

If you aren’t aware of Verdanta, they are a UK mining company that have ruined the lives 0f villagers in Orissa, India where they have a massive mine and metal refinery. When Verdanta first set up shop, the locals were told practically nothing about it. Today they breathe polluted air and are afraid to drink from or bathe in their local river.

To top it off, Vedanta now wants to open a new mine which could destroy the entire way of life of the nearby Dongria Kondh community.

Amnesty International has a new campaign to try and stop these greedy bastards. http://bit.ly/d473tE
