Ok, so a couple of weeks ago, some unscrupulous ‘tard nicked a couple of hundred quid out of our bank account and blew it in an online casino. Which leaves us to do all the legwork making and chasing a fraud claim – frankly, it’s a pain in the neck. Well, it just so happens

Another run through. Picked up my shiny +4 katana from the warehouse and give it yet another upgrade then dropped it off in preparation for some future über run. I’m on the mountaintop again, after getting past the incredibly annoying evil soldier. Best way to deal with him, as it happens, is to have a

Well, the barbeque is on for the third night in a row. Cajun chicken, this time (with a couple of snags on the side). The weather’s been lovely for the last couple of days, despite what the weathermen keep trying to tell me. What I need to do, though, is find somewhere that’ll sell me

This is just the most wonderfully mad thing ever. Basically, it reads in a song from your music library and turns it into a track with coloured blocks which undulates in time with the music. You zip along the track hitting blocks to get combos or three or more of the same colour. That gets

Gary Gygax, legendary co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, died today at age 69. For three decades, his work has allowed children and adults alike to escape real-life and take on the persona of mighty warriors, haughty magic users and sneaky rogues. To a lot of people, it seems like the man did nothing

Almost got caught out by the brain monster this morning while standing waiting to pay for some sugar puffs. The “excuse” was – “Hey, I don’t want to be grumpy with the kids all weekend, why don’t I buy ten cigarettes to cover the weekend then I can get back to not-smoking on Monday?” Except,
