Sucking Technology

Friday, December 16th, 2011

How To Be A Game Master

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Those of you who follow the various cut and thrust of my personal life will know that on most Saturdays I play host to a mob of eight or so 12 year olds who spend the afternoon yelling at each other as they play one of Games Workshop’s myriad convoluted wargames. This invariably leads to door slamming, stomping away furiously and plenty of voluminous accusations of cheating. How it takes me back…

Sam vs All Telecoms Companies

What happened to the future?

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Could be that I am simply getting old. Actually, I’m definitely getting old but that’s beside the point my argument is still pretty solid – what the hell happened to the future?

Fair change Britain

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Thoroughly enjoying the recent spate of cranky old man letters sent to anyone who’ll listen, our hero sets his sights on the Liberal Democrat party and picks some holes in their political approach which will probably leave them unelectable. Again.

Politics vs Youth Crime

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

London’s mayoral election is looming and the two leading candidates have been jousting and generally sniping at each other for several tiresome months now. As ever the political discourse is more about who can be more smug, condescending and generally clever regarding their opponent.
