@robgreenseo (via @Jmy211) just posted this link on twitter. It’s a Daily mail headline generator, and it’s quite frankly hilarious. Clicking through I got some classic headline examples, such as;

While giggling away to myself and wondering just how many hours I was going to end up wasting on… Read More...

Could Your Saw Be Sharper?

Force of Habit

Do you ever have the reaction, when the internet goes down at work, where you start thinking

“oh as I can’t do any work right now I’ll just check on that eBay auction. Oops can’t the internet’s down, OK I’ll check my email…”
