Andora 0 - 3 England

Unconvincing. That said England’s second half performance was reminiscent of a team whose players earn in hours what the Andora players do in weeks. Bravo to Steven Gerrard who, in the absence of Frank Lampard, played in the way that he can… and gaffered the game. If Lennon could cross the ball then England could [...]

Israel 0 - 0 England

For a game that England really needed to win this proved to be yet another incredibly frustrating performance. There are no excuses. Against Spain England had been outplayed both tactically and through aptitude. Crouch taken out of the game by the Spanish ‘non-jumping’ tactic. Against Israel all the possession (well that the back four had) [...]

Off to Israel

Well I’m shortly departing for the Middle-East. No I haven’t been drafted into the marines, I’m off to Tel-Aviv to support England as they play Israel in a Euro 2008 qualifier. So the next posting will likely be from the game!

I pulled this trailer down onto my Xbox 360 recently [...]

Joost contest over and the winner is…

…well no-one really. Of the 15 or so people who entered no-one actually got all the questions right.
So the answers were:
1. World’s Strongest Man (most people got this one, and although I never actually stated it was my favourite it was fairly obvious from the postings).
2. 12 seconds. The Sudoku vs. Powershell posting that Mark [...]

Joost invite for free

Ok, so I have a Joost invite to give away. I’ve sent some out to some friends and I’ll fully expect them to tell me if they think it’s rubbish or not.
However, Joost invites don’t come easy. They seem to be in massive demand. I don’t want anything for it but I’ve devised [...]

Legend of Zelda - the Phantom Hourglass

Nintendo continue to stretch the boundaries of interactive gaming (or are they just applying old ideas to modern technology?) and the Phantom Hourglass for the DS is no exception.
Check out this trailer at Kotaku.com. The “see through the boss’ eyes” view on the second screen is truly impressive. Windwaker on DS? It’s almost.

Blackle - the energy saving search engine

Bravo to Toby Heap who has created Blackle the energy saving search engine. The principle is that Blackle uses the Google search engine but the search page and results pages are predominantly black, thus saving the energy needed to display them.
Blackle appeared as a result of a blog posting which menori.com covered last month. After [...]
