Just when I think politicians cannot sink any lower, they do. With little fanfare, the proceedings being covered by the arrest of Ruth Turner, the Commons have been sending the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill to a second reading. What is this perfidious amendment? Amend the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to exempt from its [...]

It’s a good time to have a PSP, especially with Pirates! and Sonic coming up. Unfortunately, mine was on the way out. Second-hand to begin with, the analogue controller and one of the buttons were playing up, and so I headed back to CeX to ask for a repair. I though I was to be [...]

I’ve had my Wii going on a couple of weeks now, and it’s a fantastic success. Zelda is stunning – while the graphics are merely great, the game-play is superb, and the controllers are the icing on the cake. Wii Sports is superb fun, especially with friends, although it does seem a little light sometimes [...]

In a rather surprising turn of events, we woke up to a couple of centimetres of snow this morning. It looked rather impressive out back; less so on the A3, where the trees and buildings retained a cover but the pavements and street had reduced to slush. It did look very pretty though; unfortunately, my [...]

While I wait for my Wii to arrive I have a second controller in hand, sitting, not doing much. What to do with it? WiiSaber. Connect it to your Mac and let the force flow through you! Fantastic stuff, and a little safer than MacSaber at that. For those who want a little more control, [...]

Yes, the Northern Line will once and fall all escape it's reputation as the 'Misery Line'. In 2011. In the meantime, the new timetable has just made things worse. If that's not taking the piss I don't know what is, especially given my season ticket now costs £90 a month and the Charing Cross branch [...]

Yes, victory is within my grasp. After narrowly missing out on one of Game's three Wiis (for the City of London) I've discovered a new stock at Amazon Germany. Yes, our German friends have Wiis coming out the kazoo, and hence I've ordered one. While I'm somewhat unlikely to see it until next week, even [...]

Yesteday Steve Jobs came out with a rather neat toy – the iPhone. It's small, it's running a variant of Mac OS X, it's completely touch screen driven – given my lack of love for my Windows Mobile device, I was rather excited.  Then the details came out – EDGE, no 3G (EDGE is conspicuous [...]

Over the Christmas break we stumbled down to the Science Museum and had a go on the Nintendo Wii. And since that point I've been quite keen on getting one – a games console that grabs Polly's attention is well worth having. Unfortunately, the entirety of Europe is denuded of stock. This is gutting due [...]

Tony Blair has no bollocks when it comes to foreign policy. He appears to have no wish to go where Washington fails to lead. Hence Britain's [rather miserable] reputation suffered yet further when he failed to condemn Israel's foolish assault on Lebanon, and he has been nicely pre-empted this week by both the rather deplorable [...]
