So here we are 12 days after my decision to cut out the alcohol and I thought I’d deliver a progress report. To think it’s only been 12 days is kinda scary, as it’s felt like a lifetime, but, you’ll be pleased to know I haven’t touched a drop! The actual not drinking of alcohol [...]
Giving Up Alcohol, 12 Days In
My Take On The Royal Mail Strikes
So unless you’ve been living on a parallel universe with a great mail service, you can’t have helped but hear about the Royal Mail strikes that are threatening to bring Christmas as we know it to a stand still.

Cutting Out The Alcohol

Can You Help Me Find A Baked Bean?
Recently I picked up a cracking little domain name: http://www.bakedbean.co.uk I love the domain, I think it’s completely brandable and am keen to get cracking with a site on it, but I’ve hit a bit of an unexpected stumbling block. I can’t find a picture of a solitary baked bean anywhere! There are indeed plenty [...]

Derren Brown Lottery Prediction – How He Did It
Last night on channel four I watched Derren Brown do the impossible and predict the national lottery results as they were being drawn live on BBC1.
