One of the joys of working from home this week has been daytime TV, and you can always rely on E4 to be running old Friends episodes in an endless loop. Watching the whole Ross and Rachel “we were on a break” this week has exposed me to the sponsor credits that top and tail [...]

Car’s a “create your own” kinda guy, and Pepperoni does it for Pete. Ordering online is pretty straightforward, obviously. Slap in your details and address into the ordering engine at [...]

Freeview’s HD service launched in December 2009, but it’s only now that the required set-top boxes are trickling onto the market. The first of the bunch of Freeview HD boxes to appear, as was reported recently by our podcast boys, is the Humax Fox-T2 Freeview HD box, pictured below. On the face of it, a [...]

A FrequencyCast gold star for the best use of ‘Plane Engrrish’ goes to Barnetts Solicitors, in Southport.
