Spaced

For many years folks have been telling me how funny the UK sitcom "Spaced" was. It's not like I was ignored them, just that it was something I had never got round to seeing. But having seen and loved the brilliant film "Shaun of the Dead" created by the star and director of Spaced, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, I had made a mental to watch it some time.

Anyway, I was out today buying the wife an anniversary present and as so often happens when I am out buying a present for someone else, I spot something I want instead. In this case The Complete Series One and Two on DVD. I have only managed to watch the first series so far, but as all those folks were saying, it is brilliant. Absolutely awesome. I cannot wait to watch the second series and really hope they make the much promised third.

Who pray tell is you anon poster Ports? I know I got a bit of 'comment spam' the other day but you've got a 'comment staker'.

Oh and Spaced was v funny. Didn't Simon Pegg and Co do Big Train? I saw Mr Pegg in the Steve Coogan stage show 'The Man who thinks he's it' and he was top notch there too.

I don't know Woody. I deleted the one above because it was genuine spam - that being a link to a shop for sports goods. Clearly they didn't know me or they might have reconsidered how much sporting goods I buy each year.

Na, the writing is formulaic and predictable - ever thought of a job in advertising (cue Bill Hicks - Hoarrrrggghh)

How to remove a security ink tag

Image
Last Monday I was flying to Scotland for a few days to have a chat with a few of our customers up there. I thought I would show them due respect so on Sunday afternoon I popped into Marks and Spencer and bought a new suit. When I got home I set to making our Sunday roast dinner so didn't think about the whistle until about eleven that night when I went to pack. To my annoyance I found this bad boy attached to the arm. Clearly the assistant in the shop had missed it when he was putting the suit in a bag for me. At first I wasn't too bothered. After all - it would just take a bit of brute force to rip it off and all would be well for the morning. However, when I looked at the other side - my heart skipped a beat. What at first look like a simple dongle to trigger an alarm at a security gate was in fact an ink tag. I immediately started thinking of the paint bombs that are placed in bags of money to prevent theft! Was this device explosive? Was it dangerous? I soon came to my sen...

Remove a security tag redux

A month or so ago I posted a story about how I was forced to remove a security ink tag from a suit I had bought. You can read all about it by clicking here. The feedback I received from that post made me realise how common a problem this is. Little did I expect that so soon I would be faced by a similar challenge. Some top friends of ours bought us this lovely dress for our new born daughter Lucy A quick look under the hem and there it is - our friend the security tag. Aside from the fact that this device is neither green nor from Marks and Spencers, it is apparent that it looks different from the ink tag I documented in the previous story. However, even though it is white and round rather than green and oblong, a quick look at the back shows that it is fundamentally the same. A bigger front piece that holds the "payload" and a pin clicking it onto the garment with some sort of clutch arrangement hidden in the middle somewhere holding the two parts together. Sadly there is n...
