The Register, paragons of truth and virtue, have posted a story about a device that all good collectors of useless gadgets need – a USB toast printer. It’s exactly the sort of thing that I feel a colossal urge to buy, ready for it to be used once, probably in front of guests, before being [...]

So, as the entire world, his mum, Judy next door, the dog down the road, its previous owner and the entire population of Liechenstein (7) have pointed out, CERN have turned on the “Big Bang Machine” and the world isn’t ended.

This evening, while looking at the tasty, but pitiful in comparison to history, example of a Laroash kebab that I held in my shaky and hungry hand, I suddenly realised that Ealing is my home. It doesn’t [...]

I’m not talking about the insistence of a guy [...]

Edit: My obsessive reading of my blog stats shows that I seem to be getting a lot of hits on this rather light post about Uncon. I didn’t make it, but if you’re looking for a review then the guys over at Londonist went along.
Sounds like it was good and I’m a bit annoyed at [...]

I’ve never actually described myself as a blogger, but in my head I occasionally think I am. I used one of those moments of clarity to give Annie Mole a shout and got myself to a blogger’s screening of new film Eden Lake last night. Very exciting, a real film screening in a little room [...]
