Xabi Alonso Goal against Newcastle

Football’s a funny old game – one day talking about football bungs, the next day talking about goals of the season. I only just saw Xabi Alonso’s goal earlier today and what a scorcher. A bit fortunate with the Newcastle goalkeeper slipping, but full credit to Xavi Alonso nonetheless! For those who haven’t seen the […]

Football Bungs – BBC lifts the lid

BBC 1. 10:15pm. BBC’s Panorama programme has just finished and the lid on football’s bung culture looks to have been lifted. Programme clips are even making the evening news. This looks like the start of something big, and could have a devastating effect on the shape of football.Perhaps surprisingly was the level of involvement from […]

Nabaztag Rabbit – Beats the Duracel Bunny

A Nabaztag what I hear you cry? A nabaztag bunny rabbit is a quirky new invention designed to liven up your workplace or your home (if your very lonely). Nabaztag is a Wifi connected ‘smart rabbit’ which will convey messages sent to it by email or mp3 file. Sounds a little dull, but is actually […]

Idiotwork Videos

For those who haven’t seen one of the ‘mash ups’ from Idiotwork, you’re missing out on the best waste of a lunchtime! Idiotwork video clips are hilarious. The guys at Idiotwork produce short film clips by merging the dialgoue of a film with a cartoon. Sounds corny, but that all depends on the dialogue! This […]

GNER WiFi – Blogging on the Move!

This is quite a revelating experience, and one I felt I had to share. Constructing a blog post whilst sitting on a GNER train travelling between London and Edinburgh. At the same time I’m using Wifi whizzing past fields of sheep – slightly surreal! No doubt this is the technology of the future and sooner […]

Frolics at the Frankfurt Fan Zone

Travelling again? Yep, and thoroughly enjoyable once again! Having travelled only once to Germany before, I decided that it would simply be rude not to grace the fatherland with my presence once again. And what better time to do it than during the World Cup. With friends based literally 400 yards from the fan zone […]

BBC Interview Blooper

Laugh. Lots. I credit the BBC for being one of the best news portals on the web, but it just so happens that each time they make an error on live TV, they do it with style. For those who haven’t seen this yet, this is a great blooper involving Guy Goma. The interview was […]

A Short And Sweet Trip To Lyon

‘Vive la France’ as they say. Yet another business trip, and yet another country and this time my travels took me to the lovely city of Lyon in France. Although I spent less than 24 hours in the city of Lyon, it is so compact that you can get from one end of the city […]

Metatarsals and Penalties

The downfalls of England’s last few European and World Cup attempts. The latest victim of the broken metatarsal disease is Wayne Rooney, on whom much of England’s World Cup hopes are pinned. Rooney has broken a metatarsal in his right foot, and will be out for at least six weeks meaning he will miss all […]

PJ Tracy. Great Author, Great Books

Have you ever asked a barber who cuts their hair? How about asking a dentist who looks after their teeth? Right now, if I was an author and I wanted a thriller writer to write a book, I’d turn to PJ Tracy. If the truth be known, I’m not much of reader. Granted I will […]
