Life's about experiences. These are mine.
So comedian Jimmy Carr has been in a spot of bother this week for putting his money in a scheme that allowed him to pay a rate of tax of only 1%. This was entirely legal. Many have been up in arms that the rest of us have to pay considerably more than that on …
We have just got back from a weekend away in Copenhagen where, as you can read elsewhere the weather was not as advertised and was perfect. Given the spurious forecast we tried to pack as much as possible into what time we had on the fine Friday. This included the attraction that no doubt springs …
So I am currently away on a short break in Copenhagen. Over the last couple of weeks I have been avidly been checking the weather situation on my iPhone app. Until a few days ago it was predicting sunshine for the two days but the closer we got to the time of departure the worse …
Occasionally I stumble upon an interesting iPhone app that I think is worthy of keeping. Today, as part of AppAdvice‘s daily Apps Gone Free feature, an app called iLapse caught my eye. This, as the name suggests, allows you to record time lapse videos on your iPhone. The options are pretty simple, choose how often …
Trevor Horn is one of my favourite musicians/producers having worked on so many albums that I have loved. Now he is working with a number of others, including 10CC’s Lol Creme, collectively called The Producers.

The American elections are in full swing and the Republicans seem to have decided that I need to be fully appraised of the situation, which is odd since I am a UK citizen and have no right to vote in the elections. More importantly I also have no interest in voting and if I did …
Those that know me even moderately well will know that I am a huge WilliamsF1 fan and have been since my teens when the team was new and had yet to win their first world championship. And I have stuck with them through the fallow years, which have seemed interminable. But now we have a win …
Checking through my spam folder this morning to see if anything legit had slipped through the net when this appeared. I really like the line about it being “very difficult for people to believe anything that comes through the internet” Dear Friend, I know you will be surprised to read my email. I got your …
It’s been years since I have been to anything that you might consider a music festival, although Hard Rock Calling might count I guess.
