It did – with a very loud bang and a splattering of delicious orangey brown beverage. It wasn’t made clear to me at the time exactly why the teacup exploded, but explode it most certainly did. I was a small boy a the time, no taller than four inches, and a teacup was – in

Crap. Ok, that’s a bit unfair. I’m an old codger and have fond memories of the original worms (basically a reworking of Scorched Earth) and I just don’t think the 3D view works. My kids, however, seem to love it to death because it has tons of unlockables and loads of customisable stuff going on.

The BBC are running a competition which involves people submitting cool photographs fitting into various categories. Debbie has submitted some photographs she took on a sunny day in Edinburgh (one of them is called Timeless Edinburgh). The quality of the entries is wonderful. Please go have a look.

Ok, so it’s been in less than a week but I’m IMPATIENT godammit! I’m going to have to not be impatient, because we have a very long wait stretching out in front of us. Still, easier said than done. Anyway, popping in by the migration agent’s office on Monday to pick up out passports, certificates,
