  • Spartacus – Blood and Sand

    Wholly frickin’ shit, batman! – When Adam told me about a new series called Spartacus, and how it was a cross between Uber Violence, and Uber Porn – he instantly had my attention 🙂

    He gave me the first series, and after a week or so i started watching it – and couldn’t stop! It was everything he had described, and more! My only gripe with it is the slight cheesyness in certain parts, and sometimes their language is hard to understand as its all supposedly a true representation of ancient Greece/Rome.

    The violence and blood is very “animated” giving is a kinda comic book style edge – very over exaggerated in parts, but VERY cool none the less. If someone’s throat gets cut, you SEE it being cut and blood pouring everywhere! The sex scenes are very graphic for a TV show but are done in a way whereby you see no really dodgy stuff – but extremely dodgy stuff is suggested in every sex scene in the first series!

    We watched the last episode last night -and it was an AMAZING end to the first series of a program i will most definitely be watching more of!

    Just need to wait for the Second season (Season 2) of Spartacus Blood and Sand to be made so we can carry on enjoying it! I wonder if it will ever come to UK TV? As i feel it may be a bit much for the British viewers 😛

  • Worried about Maternity Pay?

    We like to think of ourselves as a  jack of all e-trades type organisation. What we mean by this is we’ll get involved in any industry, any business – on the internet.

    Our most recent venture is into a market we never expected or planned to become involved in – however after teaming up with an awesome guy who owns a ton of domain names – we have decided its definitely worth diving into!

    We’re launching 4 websites based around Birth, Maternity and Babies! We’ve started with a very basic website outlining your rights in regards maternity pay, leave and paternity info – with direct links to solicitors/lawyers and free info for anyone wondering where they stand with their job when pregnant.

    The next one will be on relating to maternity wear, then we are moving on to baby clothes, and then rounding it all off with a group site to bring all the sites together.

    Its strange working on something like this – it will certainly get me swatted up for when one of our employees gets preggers!

  • UK Top 40 Charts

    Roughly 3 months ago, I contacted a Gent who owned a domain name I wanted to use as a bargaining chip for a DIFFERENT domain name – but anyway….

    He is one of these lucky people who was in the right place at the right time, and has amassed a collection of domain names like no other. I have no idea of the amount (to be honest I don’t think he has) but its in the tens of thousands!

    Anyway to cut a long story short, we are now working with him on a few projects one being the UK Top 40 Singles and Albums Chart website. The reason this was the first domain we chose, was that a friend of ours  had a similar site, so I knew the code was available already!

    My mate is working on it with us now too, and he has made the code 100x better – and he has forwarded traffic form his old site the new one!

    Adam is finishing the design today – and later today is the proper launch date.
