Spurs seem to have quite a bit of money to spend this season, with apparently interested in Dirk Kuyt for in the region of £12m and possibly Jermaine Jenas for £13m. I can’t believe that Sir Alan Sugar was paid enough for The Apprentice that he can afford to compete with Roman Abramovich in the …
I’m not sure if it’s just me, the technology reducing our attention spans or (most likely) a combination of both, but I’ve developed an increasingly terse response style for conversations on instant messenger. I get much more curt the better I know someone too. As an example: Tim says: as I know you’re not busy …
I usually hire motorbikes from Raceways, Surrey Quays and they treat me pretty well. Now they know me and I obviously spend enough money with them they’re more likely to give me a good deal on hiring the extras at the same time as the bike, or making sure I get one of the newer …
‘Lost’ has only just started on Channel 4 and E4 and I’m already addicted. I watched the first three episodes back-to-back last Sunday and still wanted more. I was expecting something Survivor-like i.e. people marooned with some ensuing drama, but there’s a lot more action than that with the introduction of what seem to be …

It’s taken a few evenings and bits of the weekend, but last night saw the launch of a new design for this blog. What with the categorisation I’d added recently, the right hand column with all the navigation in it was getting a bit cluttered so I’ve now gone 3 column and hopefully everything fits …
I’m still reeling from the surreal experience at the Moonlight private members club on Green Street, West Ham (near Upton Park tube) on Saturday night. Five of us (myself, an Indian, a Pakistani, an Italian and an Iranian… this isn’t a joke) had met up for a few drinks and then on to a really …
The O’s only have to keep it up for another 43 games. BBC SPORT | Football | League Two | Darlington 0-1 Leyton Orient Ling is thrilled to top the table
On a recent trip to Luxembourg we spent some time before our flight left for City Airport by playing crazy golf. The players were: Deborah Causton, Susan Engel, Chris Greenway and myself (Karl Bunyan). The scorecards for each of us are below: Deborah’s scorecard: Deborah’s total: 86 Susan’s scorecard: Susan’s total: 78 Chris’scorecard: Chris’ total: …
Hidden away (kind of) on Columbia Road in Hackney, just off Hackney Road, is a small pizza restaurant called Stringray Globe. We’ve been there for Friday lunch a few times now and it’s been very good every time. I can’t comment on the non-pizza menu (which looks comprehensive enough) but the pizzas themselves are very …
