A footie fan writes

And I quote:

"Everything about rugby union seems better than football - the drama, pace and one-twos, the passion, skill and muscle, the deadly grace and savage beauty of it all. Even when the countries sing their respective national anthems they do so with more verve."

Quite right too...

Windscale: 50 Years On

Hard to believe that the Windscale disaster was 50 years ago. I mean, that's before Al Gore invented the internet, right?

McDonald's Videogame

A subversive work of genius. To win you have to devastate continents, add ground up animals to the animal feed, mistreat workers, mislead the public in the pursuit of rapacious profits and so on.

I smell lawyers. Play it while you can...

Retroactive update alert...

Having tired of the bright lights and big city that is Wantage, I've
decided to really move to the boonies this time.

New place is a rented dairy conversion in Baulking, a tiny hamlet about a
mile from Uffington where the famous White Horse is, not to mention the
nearest shop and pub. Surrounded by fields (some of which are even not
under water at the moment) it's also full of wildlife. Saw my first
live badger in years on the way back there last night - and thanks to
a quick high-speed tweak of the steering wheel I might even see him again
too.

Nearest Starbucks is 11.35 miles away. Is this a record?
