• Hoax emails sent by my hapless alter ego, Harry Yack. Vain attempts to “bait” established organisations by entering email correspondence with inane or silly subjects, such as why self-adhesive stamps taste so nasty.
• Parody news stories.  An irreverent, sometimes satirical take on the latest topics in the news from the North West and Britain as a whole.
• The Hindleyak. The official fanzine of Hindley, a small mining town in the north that not many people care about. The Spectator and Private Eye have nothing on the Hindleyak. Incidentally, Hindley is a real place and a lot of the stories are actually true, though you wouldn’t believe it.
• Yak’s Top Tips. Harry Yack’s tips for living in a modern society, such as how to survive the credit crunch.
• Fun Facts about selected subjects such as pennies, or from websites such as Wikipedia.
• DIY advert design. I consider myself something of a home-made marketing aficionado, at least between 4PM and 4.01PM. Check my collection and critique of cute, guerilla designs found on my travels.
• Blogging tips - hints and guides for bloggers and webmasters.
• Chewing the Web - The Yak chews the web’s gristle.
