24th January 1984 – The Macintosh dropped.

On this day in 1984, the Macintosh was launched.

One computer. One screen. One mouse.

And it greeted you with: “Hello.”

Steve Jobs was obsessed with that moment.

So obsessed, he told the team it would ship late —

and credit would be removed — if it didn’t feel right.

It wasn’t just a computer.

It was a first impression.

Viking Tattoos

Viking tattoos draw on Norse mythology, legendary warriors, and the raw symbolism of the Viking age. Inspired by gods, runes, longships, battle scenes, and figures from Viking legend, these designs are built around strength, resilience, and identity.

This collection focuses on bold Viking tattoo concepts designed to work especially well as large pieces, including arm sleeves and statement tattoos. Each design is intended as reference artwork — something you can save, explore, and take to your tattoo artist to adapt for placement, scale, and personal style.

Whether you’re deeply into Norse history or simply drawn to the power and aesthetic of Viking imagery, these designs are about presence, storytelling, and tattoos that still hold weight years down the line.

“Viking tattoo design inspired by Ragnar Lothbrok featuring Norse symbols, longship, ravens, and battle scenes in a dark, realistic style.”

Egyptian Tattoos

Egyptian tattoos have stood the test of time for a reason.

They’re bold, symbolic, and instantly recognisable — drawing on ancient gods, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, and myths that still feel powerful thousands of years later. From figures like Anubis, Tutankhamun, and Cleopatra to scenes of pyramids, warriors, and the afterlife, Egyptian tattoo designs are packed with meaning as well as visual impact.

On this page, you’ll find a growing collection of Egyptian tattoo concepts, designed to work as strong standalone pieces or as part of larger compositions. Each design is intended as reference artwork — something you can save, study, and take to your tattoo artist to adapt to your body, style, and placement.

Egyptian Arm Sleeve Tattoo Ideas

These Egyptian arm sleeve designs are created with flow and placement in mind, showing how a full concept can wrap and sit naturally on the arm. Each example includes the original artwork alongside a sleeve-style mock-up to help visualise scale, balance, and overall impact.

Feel free to download any design as inspiration and discuss adjustments with your tattoo artist — whether that’s refining detail, extending the sleeve, or blending elements into an existing tattoo.












How to Download and Set a Wallpaper on Your Phone (Properly)

Making tech simple

What is a wallpaper, anyway?

A wallpaper is the background image on your phone.

It’s the picture you see:

  • on your lock screen (when your phone is locked)

Most phones come with boring default wallpapers.

The good news is: you can change them — to anything you like.

That means:

  • your phone looks better
  • it feels more “yours”
  • and it’s one of the easiest customisations you can make

No tech knowledge required.


Why bother changing your wallpaper?

A good wallpaper can:

  • make your phone look cleaner
  • make text easier to read
  • show off something you like (art, humour, attitude)
  • just make you smile when you unlock your phone

There’s no downside.

If you don’t like it, you can change it again in 10 seconds.

What Was Happening Back in 

1984

🖥️ Computers Were Finally Entering Homes

By 1984, computers were no longer just something you saw in offices or on the news.

Machines like the Apple Macintosh and the ZX Spectrum were making computers feel personal — something you could actually sit in front of at home.

In the UK especially, the Spectrum became part of everyday life. Games loaded from cassette tapes, screens flashed with colour blocks, and kids learned patience the hard way waiting for something to load.


🎮 Games and Technology Were Colliding

Home gaming was exploding. Arcades were still busy, but more and more people were playing at home.

The graphics were basic, the sound was rough, but the ideas were huge.

This was the era where games felt new, experimental, and slightly unpredictable — sometimes they worked, sometimes they crashed, and everyone accepted that as normal.


🎶 Music Was Loud, Visual, and Everywhere

Music in 1984 wasn’t just something you listened to — it was something you watched.

Music videos were becoming a big deal, synth sounds were everywhere, and pop culture felt bold and futuristic.

This was a time when artists didn’t just release songs — they released images, styles, and attitudes.


📼 Everyday Life Looked Very Different

Evenings were simple.

Video rental shops, CRT televisions, and shelves full of VHS tapes. You picked what was left, not what you wanted, and somehow it was still exciting.

No streaming, no instant access — just whatever was available and a bit of imagination.


🧠 Looking Back

1984 sits in that interesting space where things were clearly changing, but nobody quite knew where they were heading.

Digital was arriving, but analogue still ruled. Technology was improving fast, but still felt rough around the edges.

For a lot of people, this was the backdrop to growing up — without realising they were watching the foundations of modern life being laid.

Making the Bed: An Impossible Standard

man confused by too many cushions while making the bed

There’s making the bed…

and then there’s whatever it is your missus expects.

You get up, smooth the duvet out a bit, pillows roughly where pillows live, job done. In your head, the bed is now made.

Apparently not.

Apparently the bed is supposed to look like:

  • a hotel showroom
  • with cushions you didn’t sleep on
  • arranged in some unspoken order
  • that you were never taught

Scatter cushions appear from nowhere.

Extra pillows get involved.

Suddenly you’re expected to create some kind of soft-furnishing masterpiece before you’ve even had a coffee.

And if you get it wrong?

You don’t get told how to fix it — it just quietly gets re-done later, with that look.

It’s not that lads can’t make the bed.

It’s that we thought the goal was flat and usable, not art installation.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this?

My girlfriend will open a packet of ham, make a sandwich…

and then just put the packet back in the fridge open.

No clip.

No folding.

No attempt at sealing it.

Just straight back in like the fridge is some kind of magical preservation chamber.

In my head, I’m thinking:

  • air gets in
  • it dries out
  • it goes a bit crispy round the edges
  • and suddenly it’s “gone funny” three days earlier than it should have

But apparently, because it’s in the fridge, that’s fine.

I don’t know if this is just my house, or if other people live like this too, but to me that packet is now on borrowed time.

Am I being fussy…

or is leaving opened food exposed in the fridge absolute chaos?

Please tell me I’m not alone here.

The Great Toilet Roll Debate

Forget the whole toilet seat up or down argument for a second.

There’s a far more serious issue dividing households up and down the country…

Which way should the toilet roll face?

You’ve got two camps:

Camp 1: 

Flap Away From the Wall

Apparently:

  • it’s “more hygienic”
  • it doesn’t brush the wall
  • it’s the official way (according to someone, somewhere)

Fair enough.

Camp 2: 

Flap Against the Wall

This is where I’m at.

Why?

Because when the flap’s against the wall:

  • you can pull more than one square in one go
  • it doesn’t spin like a fruit machine
  • and if you’re a bit heavy-handed, you don’t end up ripping off one lonely square by mistake

Nothing worse than:

pull → rip → sigh → pull again

Like some sort of survival challenge.

And yes, this has caused actual arguments.

Real ones.

With words like “why do you keep changing it?” and “because your way is stupid” being exchanged.

So let’s settle it properly.

👉 Flap towards the wall

👉 Or flap away from the wall

Never mind what’s “correct”.

Which way do you do it… and why?
