The Buckingham Blog

Well I'm not that's for sure!!

While surfing about yesterday lunchtime I decided to do the typical" type your name into Google and see what you get" search. In the top ten came this website www.jamesbuckingham.com - Yes it's a blog by a guy called James Buckingham in Wales.

So anyway while I was there I though I'd put a wee comment on one of the entries to say "Hello James, it's James Happy New Year" :-)

Now you might be thinking, yeah that's cool but so what? Well have a look at the design of the site as well?? It's the same as ours. How spooky is that??? It's not even that common.

Checking my emails tonight I got a message from James (that's the other one) who has put a comment on one of our entries here. He's also put an entry on his blog about all of this as well. How cool :-)

I now feel drawn to hitting the old search engines again to find more James Buckingham's around the world, as James says (not me the other one :-)) it feels very Dave Gorman. Maybe there are even more James Buckingham's reading this blog? Who knows!!!

I had to post these on here, quite possibly the most I've laughed in a very long time.  Thanks Jenni for these!

I know I forwarded to many people on e-mail, but I wanted to have these in the future once my email is long gone.  I've numbered them as no doubt people won't get some so for easy reference!!

I heard this on Radio 2 on Friday on the way to work and I was in tears of laughter. Becky is an 8 year old girl from Dublin who does prank calls. What's great about them though is she uses that "innocent" kid approach to really keep them on the line.

There are a few of these going around online but this is by far the best. Check this out, it's SO funny:

I was in Boots the other day and saw this sign...

...now they tell us! We could have just ordered a baby and Julie wouldn't have had to go through all of this.
