Digby being entertained in a strange manner!

He has loads of toys, which he enjoys, yet bizarrely, Digby seems more entertained by an empty bottle! Obviously not a trick for him to be performing unsupervised by humans, but a strangely entertaining one!

There are also photos of this outrageously cute little fellow here.

Life’s one big experience..

.. whilst I’m planning on taking part in an insane multi-team, multi-ball football match to raise cash for the Royal British Legion, I’ve not done anything completely mad since I glasswalked last year.  And whilst trudging around a muddy pitch on Hackney Marshes for two hours is quite mad – it’s not quite as extreme [...]

Sponsor me to do something silly (again!)

Hello to all, ooh, five people who probably read my blog!
I guess announcements like this become less of a surprise, and more of a faff everytime I post them!  My sincerest apologies for being such a leech!
Once again I am embarking on silliness in the name of charity – this time round it [...]

In your Liverpool slums..

.. a decidedly contentious title, and not strictly accurate from this weekend’s shenanigans, so read on.
We start with Nottingham City Transport, and the joys of the ‘city rider’ ticket. For a mere £2.70, Rich and I boarded a bus into town from Mapperley, and then onto a tram to Phoenix Park. Quite bargainous we thought. [...]

The fuel-efficiency game…

I discovered my car’s trip computer automatically logs your current journey – ie, when the ignition started until you stop.  And I’ve become transfixed with the mpg rating which updates as you drive, and have been cunningly attempting to maximise fuel efficiency when commuting (which isn’t really the most efficient way to use fuel anyway) [...]

Digby, the cutest dog in the world?

Check out this outrageously cute little fellow, his name is Digby, and he’s my aunty’s new dog – he’s a Labradoodle puppy.  Which is quite possibly the best dog-breed-name there has ever been!

It got us thinking earlier about other potential breeds of dog you could create by integrating the ‘oodle’ of poodle into the equation..

You’re a goal-scoring superstar hero…

I remember reading a while back that Sensible World of Soccer – a game that consumed literally days of my childhood – was being made available on the XBox Live Arcade.  That was quite an exciting announcement, and as today I was at a bit of a loose end I was using the 360, and [...]

Selective blindness…

… having had my new car for a while, it’s weird how many other ones like it I’ve noticed all over the place. It’s a cunning link from the last post about tricks of the mind really.
Next time you’re with a group of friends, ask them to take 30 seconds to make a mental [...]

Tricks of the mind…

You’ll all know Derren Brown as a singularly scary dude. As someone who likes thinking, and challenging the way I think, I find him quite interesting – so it was nice to get his latest book for Christmas, and having read it, it proved very thought provoking.
I already made mention of a nifty card [...]
