Life's about experiences. These are mine.
I like London. It’s a great city. I wouldn’t want to live there and nor would I want to have to commute up there everyday to work but it is a beautiful and richly varied city. A great example of this is the almost jarring contrast between Camden Market, with it’s brash high street and …
This month seems to have been a rich period for new music releases that I love. So much so that I thought that I would share them here. Enjoy!
Over the years the amount of effort put into creating April Fools’ jokes has increased exponentially, with some more plausible than others (see above). Some, such as Google and Amazon go to the trouble of creating really slick websites and videos such as these from Google (love the girl’s reaction at the end): And Amazon …

There’s a real problem with free in that it has zero cost (obviously) so people seem to think that means it also has zero value. I hate to see any waste and my heart sinks with everything that gets put into the bin and not recycled. My kids are fed up with me saying that …
It’s possible that I might have a significant birthday this year and if you are wondering what you might get me the above BMW would be most welcome 😉

Someone tries to entice House to take the case by offering up tidbits of information about the illness but he is not interested. Then …
