Now THAT was a fun housewarming! However so far it's been one of those mornings where I find myself thinking “It's possible that I ate a little too much cat food last night”. We've all been there.

Sometimes a story comes along that's just too ripe not to tell. Hopefully everybody involved in this one can see the funny side… During my packing up to move to the UK, I decided that bringing a suit would be a good idea. The one I wanted to bring turned out to need a dry…

You've got to question the mentality of someone who buys an espresso machine and then a week later gives up coffee, don't you ? And now, I'm gonna succumb to nerdly behaviour – because I don't really have anything else to report – and throw in this Music Meme: Total amount of music files on…
