Britain’s collective summer amnesia
Every summer, Britain seems to get collective amnesia at the first sight of substantial rain. Even now, on Twitter, lots of UK people are lamenting Where has our summer gone?. This somewhat neglects the fact that less than 6 weeks ago, we were in the middle of a summer heatwave, with hosepipe bans and weather
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!

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
The trouble with co-habitation #41

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…
