Twitter – Pri.me.uk lite?

grom — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:15:00 +0000

I know, I know, life/work overtook me and this site fell into disrepair but 10 years and over 10,000 posts was a lot to keep running.

I know people still hit the site all the time and I still get emails asking when we will return sooo… I’m thinking of doing a lite version of the site possibly based around twitter – anyone interested can follow me on Twitter and if I get a few followers then I’ll start posting some links on there – you know what to expect…

The Ultimate Grom Post

I know, a new post!

but how could anyone who ever read this blog not be excited by the prospect of THE DRESDEN DOLLS, MICK HARVEY, JOHN PARISH & BRIAN RITCHIE PLAY THE VIOLENT FEMMES FIRST ALBUM LIVE…THIS FRIDAY @ MOFO ?

It’s Been A While…

grom — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:03:49 +0000

If anyone is still watching this blog then I must apologise for the sudden lack of posts a few weeks/months ago.

Contrary to popular opinion I’m not dead despite all of the emails asking me if I am (how was I supposed to answer those if I were dead?)

The boring answer is a mixture of Jury Service, being transferred to a new company (5 times in 10 years now!), holiday (Anglesey, thanks for asking – it was surprisingly brilliant), the site being f**ked up by my hosting company, illness (root canal work), lots and lots of work which left me too exhausted to think about posting things and no time to research posts and to be honest a complete lack of incentive – I’ve been doing this site for over 10 year now and have made over 10,000 posts. I’ve loved doing this site and really appreciate the help I’ve had from our posters (Carloz, Al, Doug et al) and from our readers (particular thanks to ted, Imran, Kim Kinslow, Channon, Our kid and Dan P for their regular suggestions – I read and love them all but I’m awful about replying to mails!).

I’m not quite sure what to do now – I don’t want to stop and I don’t have the time at the moment to do much on it myself. I’m open to suggestions and would consider opening up the posting abilities to anyone who fancies posting themselves but in the meantime I’m taking a break after 10 long years of posting the best of the internet for your delectation. If any of you remember what the internet was like 10 years ago you’ll know how hard it was to find good content! Thank you for reading this far – we might be back, who knows….

Who is Aimi Eguchi?

Well, it turns out she’s a virtual composite of the other female band members in AKB48.

Unintentionally funny test answers

Rob Zombie directs detergent ad

Carloz — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:55:57 +0000

Yep, you read that right, Rob Zombie has directed a TV spot to promote Woolite as part of an attempt to update their image! Unsurprisingly there’s a distinct lack of pretty young mums looking forlornly at their kids muddy football kits.

Anyone for a street cleaning simulation game?

Carloz — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:40:36 +0000

Could this be the ‘must have’ release of 2011 – a Street Cleaning simulator with a soundtrack that wouldn’t be out of place in a Modern Warfare release. If I had a PC, I’d play this. Keep it tidy people.

Japanese Pizza Awesomness

I genuinely can’t decide if this advert for a Japanese Pizza is the one thing in the world I want to try more than anything else or a candidate for Steve don’t eat it
