I've been remiss of late, as this is something I should have posted long ago. Alfa Romeo's Mi.To, to be launched later this year, is the company's first foray into the supermini category. I haven't decided whether the name is silly or not, Mi.To having been foisted upon Alfa by parent company Fiat, but any grievances are forgotten after looking at the car.

Unmistakably German. Or so says the advertising tag line for the new Citroën C5.

Unfortunately for Citroën, the advertising campaign currently airing on UK television gets it wrong on so many levels.

So, I signed in to my Gmail account this evening and something didn't feel right. Something almost imperceptible had changed.

After squinting at my inbox for a spell, I realised that Gmail's status message block had moved to a new spot and was sporting a new pastel shade.

Being a fan of the Terminator series I thought I'd give the Sarah Connor Chronicles a go. The Fox television series set after the events of the second Terminator movie has been airing here on the UK on Virgin 1, an insipid channel with American-style ad breaks every 9 minutes.

I didn't hold out much hope for the series. I was skeptical as to how the Terminator story would translate to the small screen, and even more skeptical as to the odds of the screenwriters being able to string together a story a) worth watching and b) that didn't butcher the Terminator universe (Terminator 3, I'm looking at you).

For Christmas my brother picked me up a copy of Hugleikur Dagsson's Should You be Laughing at This? and Is this Supposed to be Funny? cartoons.

Although I had flicked through them, it wasn't until earlier this week that I took time to go through them properly. My God, they're funny. Dark, politically incorrect, laugh out loud humour.
