As of this moment, Project WeaponX (ask HyperHam, she decided on the name!) is due for delivery 15 January, 2011. Mother is doing as well as can be expected – but tips for combatting morning sickness would be *highly* appreciated!

I just got married to HyperHam, the most wonderful woman in the world. And I couldn’t be happier. Woot!

So, the time has come to try and hire a posh suit. I can’t be the only male who has to hire a posh suit and yet hates the entire experience of shopping for clothes – so you’d have thought the male tailors would have tried to make it as easy as possible. But oh

is that when HyperHam says she wants to go to a two-day musical theatre festival in the heart of what we call London, we go to said musical theatre festival. Thus meaning, the news about a vintage computer orgy with OMD as the headline act completely passed me by. As did the news about the

I am using an ancient tiny Celeron laptop to try and surf the modern Internet, with all its social media widgets and Flash files. Hyperham is using a modern fast Intel dual-core laptop to play Dungeon Keeper 2, a classic game from 1998.. All while Eddie Izzard is talking about flags on Channel 4…

You’d have thought that linking from a website to another website would be a basic principle in building websites.

So finally, at long last, America has joined the rest of the world in offering near-universal healthcare to its’ citizens, instead of relying on a hodgepodge of private health insurance coverage. And about bloody time too, if my brief peek into the world of American healthcare was anything to go by. HyperHam and I were

Was it done as a male bonding/ice breaker thing? I'd guess men need to know these things so they can talk to each other. Is one deemed homosexual if they don't know the answer???!

Rooney? Is he? The "current" England captain doesn't really exist as a permanent position right now, as far as I'm aware. Seeing as we've had one match under the new manager – and that a friendly – I'd not have said Rooney.
Last I knew, it was Steven Gerrard. And I had to look that up. The English team just aren't worth following right now. Gerrard's one of a small number of players who, IMHO, deserve a place on it.
On the other hand, I don't see what relevance it has in a job interview unless the position somehow relates to sports coverage.

I'll be honest, I had no idea. I wouldn't have said Wayne Rooney. Probably like Mosh I'd have said Steven Gerrard.
Now Welsh Rugby captain, that one's easy.
I suppose it's "General Knowledge" though. It's something that 60% of the population'd know.
Still, he was wrong.

It was an interview for an advertising agency that has a trainer manufacturer as a major client…

as Mosh says I think you can get away without knowing who the captain is now due to the sad state of affairs English football is in.
So did you get the job? or did they not hire you because you lacked "common" knowledge?
