Stencil Reply To Bad Tagging

I wish I’d had that stencil when our house got done. Or maybe it just escalates the whole thing in a spiral of paint-based aggro. (Spotted on Rivington Street in Shoreditch).

Twitter On The Shitter?

It’s a question that’s been bugging me for a while. Do people send Tweets when they’re in perhaps, shall we say, more compromising positions. I did a straw poll around a table yesterday and got a very mixed response. I’m not saying where I sit on the issue, I think it’s a personal matter and [...]

Contact Juggling As I Believe It’s Called

I normally find this kind of thing a bit sort-of cringe inducing. But this guy is absolutely phenomenal.

I also quite liked this clip of a bunch of glass-ball nerds just mucking around and having a jolly good time.

Some people might know about ClubPub, a lot of you won’t. Basically it was a very irregular night that the Poke people have been organising over the last 5 years. It all started out with us just renting out a pub on Wednesday nights and turning them into a sort of club. Lashings of [...]

Brighton low tide cycle ride

An early morning bike ride along the beach at low tide on August 3rd. Sounds like fun.
I’m a bit scared by the ‘clothing optional’ bit though. But the photos of last year on Flickr don’t have too many naked people in them (phew).
And if any Brightonians are reading this some of us are [...]

Teabuddy Scandal Alert

Ouch. I really want to nip this one in the bud before it gets out of hand…
George Parker (who’s work and brutal honesty I admire a great deal) has written a rather fruity post about something that I wasn’t going to comment on.
Basically I got an unsolicited blogger outreach email last week regarding a new [...]

A Weekend of Boom Blox

I couldn’t find Wii Fit anywhere this weekend. And even Mario Kart seemed to be sold out at most places so I took a punt and bought Boom Blox for the Wii instead.
Net result. A very sore arm and many hours wasted.
It’s a brilliant game. The learning curve is perfect. The balance of skill/strategy/luck is [...]
