Amusing anecdotes & random ramblings
"Give me my pizza or I will f**k you up"
was the phrase that I heard shouted in the street below.
Being unable to resist the temptation to look, I twitched the curtain and saw two women – one elderly woman in her 50s wearing tracksuit bottoms and a young girl in an all-pink tracksuit – confronting a helmeted pizza delivery man. It would seem that they had been waiting for their pizza for over an hour and were extremely angry that the man would not give them their pizza.
So while shouting phrases like “Don’t you f**king touch my daughter” (who had the said pizza), they chased the pizza delivery man down the street, and pushed over his motorbike. At some point, presumably happy that they had the pizza, they allowed the pizza delivery man to motorbike away, and went back inside their house.
Two minutes later, he biked back and parked at the far end of the street. I have no idea why.
Just another random spring night in West London!

FourSquare in the UK – finally there’s a use. Oh.
West12 Shopping CentreTaken by bonez007 Like many people who use FourSquare, I often wonder if there’s actually any point to checking in to a location, aside from point scoring and the fact I’m usually bored at a bus stop. American friends of mine tell of strange legends whereby if you show you’re a Mayor at
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!

I just got married to HyperHam, the most wonderful woman in the world. And I couldn’t be happier. Woot!
How difficult can it be to hire a suit?
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
Playing with Windows Mobile games at the Old School Yard (Qype)
Ob. disclaimer – I went to the Old School Yard courtesy of Qype for a mykindofphone.com event As soon as I walked in, I knew it was my kind of pub. Huge screens, games to be played, drinks to be consumed, and a feeling of space. The main problem was a distinct lack of chairs
Cinephilia in West London
Ob. disclaimer – I was invited via Qype to a night at Cinephilia West, a film cafe/bar/screening room in Westbourne Grove. My review of the place follows: If you like food, or cinema, this is DEFINITELY the place for you. First off, it’s a learned cinema fan’s paradise. The basement is the ideal living room,
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…
