When ping doesn't get you much pong
Yahoo! Ping Pong-23 Originally uploaded by Ping London (In other words, great, you got sponsorship, where’s the return?) Across London, ping pong tables have sprouted up to encourage Londoners to have a go at ping pong/whiff whaff. All nicely decorated with the various sponsors’ logos, including Yahoo! Accompanying these tables are some leaflets about the
The OTHER project that’s taken up a lot of our lives this year…
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!

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
The trouble with co-habitation #41
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
A snippet of life in the household
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…
