Well it's hard to know, as I haven't actually left the house yet, but it seems that London's gotten up, dusted itself off a bit, and gotten back to whatever it was doing as much as practical. In a sense, apart from the enormous “Whoa, what the hell was that” feeling, it's business as usual…

Hey there… some of you have probably heard about the explosions on the tube and london buses today by now. Just to reassure, I'm fine. At this stage details on what's going on are in disarray… Am not gonna be providing up-to-the-minute coverage; BBC and CNN are much better at that. But yeah, thanks for…

Quick update: just got home from Live8, and am extremely exhausted and about to go to bed, but I couldn't go on without sharing the fact that… I SAW PINK FLOYD, LIVE ! (It's not meant to be gloating – it's just good old fashioned excitement) Granted, we were about a mile from the stage,…

I know I shouldn't despair after a single interaction with a staff member from my bank, however when you join the dots it's all starting to look a bit grim. I wandered in today to change over the leftover Swedish currency I had in my wallet from the weekend. After establishing that I do in…

Incredible – since finishing up at work last week I've been absolutely flat out, and haven't had a chance to do all the things I'd promised myself I would do on my first week of “freedom”! One of the reasons for being so busy is that I picked up a couple of days of contracting….

2 complaints, and then a bit of incredibly wild news that has had my pulse racing for the last 18 hours. 1) For some reason the wireless networking dingus in my laptop has decided to become rather contrary, and whilst up until Sunday night it was happily doing its network thing and sending data packets…

Now why is it that a bank over here will post you a new ATM card via registered post (i.e. requires a signature, and if you are not home at the time they come around then it also means dragging your arse off down to the post office with some ID to collect this letter…),…

It's all a bit irrelevant (and of course it's now the 3rd post in a row that email readers won't be able to make sense of unless they visit the website), but I thought I'd share a photo that a friend of mine took whilst on his recent European Tour: Chris from work (aka Lord…

This turned up in our company email this morning: (note to people getting this by email – you're gonna have to visit the website to actually see what it is…) Admittedly, it was somewhat better described further down the page, however you've got to agree – it's one of the weirder things you're going to…
