There’s been plenty of hype and chatter around the new Rockstar game LA Noire in recent weeks. The critics gave it rave reviews and thoroughly good reports all round and you can easily see why. However, I’m not jumping on the “LA Noire is amazing” bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad game, [...]

Life is extremely subjective

In my current role I’ve learnt not to take things for granted. Life is extremely subjective. Just because I’d do something or not, doesn’t mean you or Johnny from the street would do the same. An example – the goal of a lot of things on our website (like many sites out there) is to [...]

Hitting 30 in a matter of hours. People keep saying “last moments of your 20′s” and other similar comments like it should bother me, why?

This morning on the way to work I saw a man dragging himself along on crutches, up and downstairs, tired and in pain. It made me sad. I didn’t appreciate just how difficult getting about with just crutches was until roughly this time last year when I broke my ankle for the first time in [...]

Dear Annie, You’re bonkers. Wasn’t it the Earl of Sandwich who invented the sandwich? Hence the name? To answer your question would actually take some serious thought. I suppose the logical answer is to pick some famous people you’d love to meet, but in truth, sometimes its ignorance is bliss. I’d rather not meet most [...]

Aren’t people funny? (part 2)

I suppose this should really be titled “Isn’t life funny?” But people were technically involved, so I’ll stick to my guns. On 1 of the trains into work, we have to change at a certain stop. Which means getting off the train, obviously. The conductor or whoever is in charge of the tannoy system announces [...]
