Weekend Fitness

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Anne no longer works on Fridays. The joy of being a contractor in demand is that you can tell people you’ll only work 4 days and they’ll say it’s fine. Not that I’m jealous. Not one bit.
Anyhoo, today Anne has been shopping in Brum. I got a phone call saying “Shall I buy a Wii […]

Halo Slippage

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Just a quick post to point you away from here and over to a rather amusing review of Halo 3.

Three posts in one day? Is the world going mad? Yes.
I just wanted to say that having seen the videos and screenshots of Gran Turismo 5 there is going to be very little anyone can do to convince me to NOT buy a PS3 when GT5 comes out next year.

Fully Rigid Enjoyment

US TV pundit Bill Maher has pointed out to all those early iPhone adopters that they only have themselves to blame for paying the high price that was recently slashed by Apple (more on YouTube):

Last night Kev and I headed over to Waitrose car park which seems custom made for RC car racing with all its pillars and speed humps. Kev is […]

Brat Build: Day 3

Friday, September 7th, 2007

I managed to get some build time on the Brat last night. All the electronics are in (battery is on charge) and the wheels went on so now it looks more like a car.
This weekend I shall mostly be painting one of the bodies for the car. It came with a polycarb body for racing […]

Brat vs Coupé

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Man, what a morning. So far I have taken a 50 minute bus ride to Gloucester, walked 25 minutes to the garage to pick up my Fiat Coupé after it’s MOT, paid the £225 for the necessary work, started to drive it back, heard a knocking sound coming from the engine bay, done a U-turn, […]
