Have we been shirking off on doing the site? Yes we have. It's not because we haven't wanted to, or because we've been especially busy its just that we are getting older and are running out of things to say. But fear not our artistic drought is coming to and end. Remember those short Foam Factory stories I used to do? Well they aren't coming back but luckily Trowsephi Escobar has begun work on a new re-vamp and a hell of a lot funnier series.

But anyway what the hell do I write about? Aside from putting out the odd Invisible Jim (the most visited page on the site for some reason) I've run out of things to bitch about. I've tried my hand at film reviewing, i've listen 14 things I like and i've even been on a long winded tirade about a girl I like. (let's hope she reads "Damn You Africa!")

So, in three weeks i've go to my second wedding in two months with which I intend to produce the Foamy Guide to weddings, I'm also working on a Wrestling piece. But I need not to remind you that this is not a "coming attractions" column.

I have nothing spectacular to write about. So I'm just going to keep writing until I get bored.

Urrm Brazil just won the world cup, I of course never doubted them for a minute.

Oh yeah while sitting in my local last night "The Cardiff Arms" located 20-odd miles from Cardiff in Treorchy me and my friends began to once again talk about that girl who I think I'm now legally speaking stalking. Run over my obsession and we see that she has gone to Africa to teach people how to fish.

Now please bare in mind that although the plight of the poor of this world is no laughing matter my friends "His Funkship" pointed out that these people have been living for 8,000 years in the biggest expanse of sand known to man. And they are all wondering why there is not water or food, as his Funkship noted "Are they stupid? instead of giving them food move them to the food!!!!" In my drunken state this seemed like a good idea.

Pop-up ads are now my sworn enemy. I don't mind those new ones that appear in the bottom right hand side of the screen all flash like but when I go to get some information I do not expect to be bombarded by 6 other windows.

This year's new Television advertising fad looks like its set to be Life Insurance policies. 2000 was the year of the Personal Accident Claims companies with millions of companies popping up and even more adverts clogging up my screen. 2001 was the years of debt management companies and now it looks like people need life insurance separate from their mortgage (made no sense to me either). Keeps your eyes peeled for next year's fad as it is bound to start making small appearances in October.

Also has anyone found a cure for when during typing in a word processor should you move the cursor to text further up the page the proceeding text disappears?

24 on BBC rocks. Despite the obvious floor of it running for only 18 hours. This would be the one time in which I would not be pissed off at having adverts break up a programme. It's bad enough when I'm watching M*A*S*H or Seinfeld etc. 

Oh Damn It!!!! While finding out some useless facts about 24 I have just inadvertently found out what happens. All it took was once sentence for the entire series to be unraveled. But I'm not going to ruin it for people who watch one of the greatest TV programmes of all time. Just a little tip: Do not visit the "alternate versions" section on 24 on IMDB.com. 

Well that'll do me, next time I'll have something proper to write about. Now I'm off to eat food.

Have a Foam Filled Day!
