I'm not drinking again! Ever! (wonder how long that will last) Jail or hospital? Place your bets
Is the typical British summer over already? The temperature has dropped a little bit so for some reason it means that my liver has been taking a pounding, with, I imagine, worse to come. We went... Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut!

Almost the first 'shock' of the compeition saw England throw away a win with some poor defending in pretty much the last kick of the game. Graeme was taking on the might of Phil's Italy and seemed... GameSpot UK Mini PES5 World Cup - Day 2
On the second day of the GameSpot UK World Cup, we had a clash of two big teams Brazil and France. Whether the players for these teams are any good remains to be seen. In a great game, Chi's Brazil... GameSpot UK Mini PES5 World Cup - Day 1

So I know really I should talk about games in this blog, but something else got my undivided attention today. The new MacBook Pro...in black. It arrived in the office today, and drew a crowd.... Pro Evo Kicks Off
So Guy and I finally got off our arses and set up the 40" screen in the newly established gaming/presentation room at CNET Towers here in London and settled down to play. Of course we started with...
