So with a Mexican stand-off in place between Brown and Cameron, and the election results left gridlocked in a hung parliament, its time for everyone to pony up to Nick Clegg and see if they can woo him into a coalition that will ultimately decide who governs the UK.  We could be talking about a Progressive Coaltion here folks.  As ...

Last week I received a Facebook message out of the blue from Kolitha who told me he was going to be in town over the weekend.  It was the first time I’d have a chance to catch up with my old flatmate from university since 2003.  Jesus, had it really been seven years? It was great to see the guy.  ...

The votes are in, the counts are just about done but result is unclear. As is often the case with elections, the people in the know are SO much in the know that despite it being the most intriguing and tightly fought election in my lifetime, the result went as predicted. Hung Parliament. Briefly what this means is that despite ...

Tomorrow’s sunrise will cue the opening of the polls for Britain’s general election. Traditionally, British politics is never very interesting, the same two parties have been jostling for power since the end of the war and only the farcically comedic bickering in the weekly televised ‘Prime ministers Questions’ makes it interesting.

The Halo Reach multiplayer beta was made available to the public today so I thought I would download it and give it a go. For the uninitiated, Halo Reach is the final Halo game to be made by Bungie before they move onto bigger and better things.  Its also the first time they’ve entirely overhauled the multiplayer component of the ...

With my Masters degree entering the business end, and my finances allowing me a bite to eat every now and then there ...

One of the best things we did last month was buy a new couch. Look at this magnificent bastard right here.  Our old couch was really getting me down towards the end.  The cushions kept sliding out from under your arse so that no matter what posture you started in, you’d end up slouched with your butt cheeks hanging over ...

What you see here is an empty apartment. Thats right.  For the first time in five years, Jen and I are living by ourselves again.  I think we both had an idea that we wanted to do this at the start of the year.    We’ve enjoyed living with Allan and Jules, then with Dominic and Sarah after that, but ...

Its been a while since we’ve had an entry into Who Has The Coolest Facebook Friend competition.  I can’t even remember who the defending champion was.  Whoever it was, they’d be hard pressed to top this entry:

I’ll be updating this post later in the day as I’ll be at work and can’t watch the show live unfortunately. There’s no doubting that the WWE is a very different product nowadays than what it was in the Attitude era.  PG-rated, banned chairshots, stoppages for bleeding in matches…its actually quite refreshing to see the product being a little less ...
