Pirates are doing some robbing with this movie…..but it ain’t Capt’n Jack Sparrow taking your money! I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean on Saturday night with my kids and a neighbourhood kid and was robbed of a bit over $50 at the door. How they can charge for this piece of rubbish is […]

eMarketer reports that men are online more often, but women stay longer.

There’s been a blogging game going on for a while where you get ‘tagged’ and have to provide 5 things people don’t know about you. My online mate Dave tagged me, so here goes: Couldn’t Speak, Couldn’t Swim & Faked Sickness 1. When I was a kid I had such a bad stutter that I […]
