I was looking at Google Maps tonight (there’s a prize if you can guess what I was looking at) when I saw that massive Target sign. From way way up above you can still see it.
It’s obviously a Target store but I thought it was pretty neat that they bother painting a massive target on [...]

It is my mate Jill’s birthday today, but we headed out to the lovely Belfast eaterie Shu to celebrate on Friday night. It was the first time I’d been out properly since my birthday way back in the middle of January, but I was planning on taking it easy, as I was due in work [...]

I saw Scooby Doo yesterday lunchtime. I think it’s really him!

She looks hot there I reckon!

Fancy making a Big Mac at home? topsecretrecipes.com has loads and loads of recipes for well known (mostly American) fast food items, sauces, and other brand name foods.
I haven’t tried to make anything off here, so I can’t judge how good it is, but they must be quite popular given their book range (available in [...]

I guess we’re pretty lucky at the BBC in that we have Windows Messenger on our PCs, which works with internal and external people. However, what if you don’t have an instant messenger at work and want to chat to your mates? (For example if you’re bored…)
Well Meebo might be the solution for you - [...]
