Anyone interested in a nice little 5 door Seat Ibiza. Economic diesel engine, colour coded err… everything, stereo, immaculate showroom condition. A bargain at €7500: Seat Ibiza And just in case you were wondering, yes, I am taking the piss.
Last night Madrid was blessed with a concert from break beat masters and founders of the legendary Ninja Tune record label, Coldcut. In the excellent alternative music venue, Sala Arena (well actually it’s been renamed after a terrible Dutch beer, but I just can’t bring myself to write the name), we were treated to an excellent selection of Coldcut’s new and old erm… cuts. Accompanied by superb visuals (I particularly likes the Google Earth zoom sequence, zooming in from space to the very club we were in!), a decent MC and turntable wizard they put on an excellent show doing…
Maybe I should make this a weekly feature… Todays link to entertain you while waiting for the weekend to start is (drum roll): The Institute of Adventure Research Yes it’s Tom, organiser of The Mongol Rally and Rickshaw Run, letting his mind run free again. So, of his 6 potential adventures, which one appeals most to you? Comments please 🙂
Or Nerd Night as it might also be known. Went over to Philippe’s last night, joined by Nico and Jon for an evening of Gran Turismo 4 on the Playstation… the worlds greatest car racing simulator. After a great dinner prepared by Ana we settled down to business. After several futile attempts to get the two playstations connected for multiplayer action we settled for two player split screen on both systems. We then synchronised cars and tracks for pseudo 4 player fun. I must admit I’d forgotten how good this game is. The realistic differences between all the cars and…
Just been sent this link by Nina… “For all us jet setters” www.worldsbestbars.com Apart from the fantastic 60th floor bar in Bangkok that will have to be visited (hopefully next Jan/Feb), I’ve been sent the link in perfect time in order to prepare for the coming weekend which I will spend in Berlin… As they say in EasyJets latest tacky slogan, “Come on lets fly!”

Its Friday afternoon, which can mean only one thing… surfing the web. Just spotted the Mr Scruff website in my bookmarks. It’s a site I’ve never had a good look around before but having done so I have to say its absolutely fantastic in all its pie eating, tea drinking, funktastic goodness. The flash animations are based entirely on Mr. Scruff’s unique sketching style, yet at the same time everything you might or might not want to know about the man himself is there. Check it out: www.mrscruff.com Even if you don’t like his music (a crime in itself), his…
It seems everyone is moving to, visiting or wants to go to Australia. With both Gareth and Dan migrating there over Christmas, Philippe talking of moving there if Ana gets a scholarship and Marc taking a three week holiday in preparation for moving there in a years time. Anyway, I checked my mail this morning to find that Marc had been kind enough to send me one of his holiday snaps… As for myself, I’ve been having far much less fun. The road works continue. The devils drill (imaging a 5 story high black and decker drill) has returned and…
