Ichronoclast It would be fair to say that I'm not one of the world's great “early risers”. Getting out of bed is a traumatic experience that occurs daily, and I don't seem to always cope with the idea so well. Typically any problems with this manifest themselves mostly in a workplace context, however as it's…
I'm lucky enough to have been around a bit of England, and gotten involved in a few different traditional and folky fixtures & endeavours. Often they're steeped in tradition, so much so that the origins are often obscured or even totally lost to modern knowledge. However this is the first time I've ever found myself…
I've managed to avoid iPod envy thus far. I mean really, it's just a bloody mp3 player, isn't it? Having owned a 20 Gb Rio Karma since late 2004 the device – for me – is definitely a Nice To Have. Sure the iPod has nice integration with iTunes, but being forced into a controlled…

However as nearly anybody I've ever spoken to will attest, this assertion is nothing short of pure poppycock. In the field of “getting stuff to work” it wouldn't be unfair to say…
2 trips to Wembley Arena last week. Secondly, to see WWE Raw. Yes, that's right – Professional Wrestling. The plan was initially to go out there with Housemate James and his brother in law, Bodge, as those two probably know more about WWE than anyone else in the UK. However James had to go to…
The idea of a “holiday” means different things to different people, and in recent times what I've come to realise is that to me it means going to a new location to do some activity, or see some people, or do something with someone, but whatever's involved there's always some kind of purpose and activity….
