The Big Bang – spoilers!
So… spoilers and my broken incoherent thoughts for the superlative and rather emotional The Big Bang – don’t read if you haven’t seen it! Ok, nit-picking out of the way: It’s often said that for two-parter episodes, the first part is much better than the second, simply because the second part has to wrap up

Until recently, I could safely say that I wasn’t that posh – aside from when my bizarrely-posh telephone voice makes an appearance – according to the Daily Mail, because I only ticked two of their ten boxes, to whit: – shopping at Waitrose (and that’s only because it’s the nearest food supermarket to me) -
A random lunchtime in Cleveland…
These are apparently Asian doughnuts, as offered to us by the waitress at the Cleveland cafeteria I was at lunchtime. Despite their innate Asianness – I mean, they’re called Asian doughnuts for a reason, right? – I was unable to detect any Asianness in them. No barbecued pork, no wasabi, no egg tart. Nothing. En
It'll be lonely this Christmas … but the alternatives are worse
loneliness london Originally uploaded by sebiphoto Just in time for December, the BBC has commissioned some research that shows that even the loneliest community in 1971 wasn’t as lonely as the strongest community in 2001, with Edinburgh and London being the loneliest cities and Stoke-on-Trent being the strongest community. Purely coincidentally, I’d rate Edinburgh and
What's wrong with having your name on a list?
So… the membership list for the British National Party (a far-right fascist party advocating the consensual repatriation for non-Europeans from British soil … oh, and giving the 2012 London Olympics back to Greece) has been leaked all over the Internet, and British geeks have been soiling themselves all day mashing the list. So now I

Listening to Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit today is equivalent to playing Terry Jack’s Seasons In The Sun (1974) in

There’s a fascinating article in the Washington Post about what happened when they persuaded a world-class violinist, using a rare Stradivarius, to play some of the world’s ‘best’ classical music purposes while standing on an intersection in a busy Washington D.C. Metro station. Would commuters stop, and listen in awe – or move on in
Whose luggage is this?
Whenever i go travelling i am usually quite obsessive about keeping my luggage with me just in case anyone nicks my precious things if nothing else! so i was quite surprised when i was at victoria coach station (the nearest thing london has to a refugee camp theme park experience) and saw a suitcase sitting
Having fun at work
I’ve worked within new media companies for just over a decade, and no office I’ve been in has come close to having as much fun as the staff at Connected Ventures, according to this new video which has apparently sparked yet another entry to the trendy urban lexicon, lip dub. Maybe it’s because UK new
No longer living on your tax money…
You will be delighted that after five-some years of sponging off UK taxpayers’ money in one form or another, I will be in the future earning my crust by selling my soul, sweat and time to a major consultancy just round the corner as a Project Manager type dude. International travel included. Now I can
