Baggage handlers are cunts. And it’s next to impossible to report a crime in Britain. This is a true story.
Summary for the lazy: British Airways lost my case, things got nicked from it, crime pays, and the police service are nigh on incomprehensible
I’ve just got back from a quick work trip to Seattle. Seattle [...]
Mini-fig review: Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy? Two sore thumbs up! (I’m playing on the PSP).
It led me to this. Win.
Last night, Nintendo held a press conference in Japan to announce pricing and launch details for their new console. This is a big deal for both gamers, and the industry. So it’s only natural that the press cover this in detail.
Bloggers, of course, fall over themselves to be the first with the announcements - you [...]

To get a flavor for the problem, consider the following: Imagine a New Yorker-style cartoon. In the foreground is a glum girl in Victorian dress standing on the cheese wheel space in a life-size game of Mousetrap. The girl is imprisoned in the cage that drops down after the Rube Goldbergian contraption has been tripped. [...]
Today, I spent seven hours making a 38 mile round trip to sit in a field, be rained on, and eventually be sent home disappointed by Steve Ryder.
