Jamie Kane’s a new online adventure game from the BBC. I had a sneak preview of it a couple of months ago, and it uses some pretty amazing techniques to hook you in. It’s aimed at teen girls really, but I still think it’s quite cool! You can check out a teaser here or sign [...]

Well, you know me right, I liked the odd bit of fast food every now and then. What I can’t understand is KFC. You go in, are disappointed by how rubbish the food is, and then come out swearing never to go again. Then a couple of months later you forget, so you go in, [...]

Sitting at home tonight I was surprised to see the new Quaker Oats ad featuring non other than Windy Miller from Camberwick Green! I used to love watching that and Trumpton, and given that we share surnames, it’s fair to say I’ve been called Windy Miller a couple of times - last week being the [...]

Well I had my mate Nick in town this weekend, so yesterday we went to Brick Lane in Shoreditch. I’d never been there before, but it’s a really cool place! There’s a market on (although by the time we got there it was all scraggly rubbish) and loads of galleries and cool looking shops and [...]

I haven’t posted this week ‘cos I haven’t been that well - don’t know whether it was over doing it in Belfast or not but I was totally exhausted all week, and was in bed for 7.30 two nights, sleeping right through until the morning. Anyway, had my second studio show of the new series [...]

I fly American quite a lot - a couple of times a year anyway, and I’m often lucky to get an upgrade to Business Class. What really gets my goat though is that American (I think anyway) is a pretty crappy airline. Their stewardesses are usually extremely unpleasant (they’re unlikely to be under 50), and [...]

Well spent the weekend in Belfast there. Friday night was a quiet one down the BBC club - could have gone onto a party but was too wrecked after a hectic day at work.
On Saturday night I went out to Cafe Vaudeville with Christine and her two friends Vicki and Kerry (that’s them above). Started [...]

Wow is all I can say about this. Found it over on the blog onedigitallife and think it’s the best gadget I’ve seen in ages - McDonald’s style muffins in four minutes! Perfect. Only available in the US unfortunately but next time I’m there I’ll be checking it out, and if it’s dual voltage (which [...]

I’ve been reading the Guardian for a while now, and even more since they started doing those addictive Su Doku puzzles (I do them on the tube on the way into work on the morning), so I was a bit worried when I saw they were launching their new Berliner sized edition today. I’d kind [...]
