I’m NOT A fashion victim
23 April 2007There’s been a lot of media coverage lately of Anya Hindmarch’s “I’m not a plastic bag” bag. It seems that some people will pay over £100 for one of these on eBay.
All this seems like another way of ripping off fashion victims - the type of people who will pay over the odds just for […]

I’m Gonna Be (500 Yards)
23 March 2007In honour of this year’s contribution to Comic Relief by Peter Kay, here’s yet another take on the well-known song….
When I wake up, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up for a beer
When I go out, yeah I know I’m gonna be

You sank my battleship!
29 June 2006I’m sure lots of people will be familiar with the game of Battleships. Today’s website is an online version where you play against other people (not the computer!). So you can challenge your friends to an online game and see who’s got the best aim :-) Check it out at www.sinkmyship.com.
Unofficial world champions
28 June 2006Since today is the first day during the 2006 World Cup on which there is no football, today’s website is a football-related one to help those suffering from withdrawal symptoms. The Unofficial Football World Championship is contested in a simple boxing-style title system. Winners of title matches become title holders, and move up the rankings. […]
I’ve fallen for it…
27 June 2006Today’s website is the rather wierd, but incredibly addictive, falling sand game. It’s amazing that something so simple can be so appealing. If you haven’t had a go yet, then try it - but preferably not in work time! It’s become something of a net meme and can be found in various locations, but as […]
Poetry in, er, motion
20 June 2006Today’s website is one that mixes high art with low sport. Football Poets is a website of, well, poems about football. Love it!
World Cup - Not!
13 June 2006I promised I’d try to avoid doing too many football-related websites during the World Cup. So, to start with, here’s one for the anti-cup brigade. The World Cup Widows Club is a site set up by a bunch of women (mostly) who are fed up with their blokes watching football all the time. How unsporting […]
