The lesser of two evils???

Interesting piece here from Canada... we're all rushing to use low energy lightbulbs to reduce pollution and wasted energy, yet those very same bulbs are toxic to us and in many places if you break one you have to get the government in to clean up the mess... read more here.

The happiest day...

Well! One week ago to the very hour myself, Naomi and about 70 of our family and closest friends were partying hard after our wedding. The wedding went off perfectly, no family arguments, no forgotten rings, just a slight mix up with the flowers for the parents. The ceremony was beautiful, as was Naomi. The speeches went down very well, raising tears and smiles in all the right places, though the best man was surprsingly nice to me! Though I'll get him back for mentioning the upside down camera thing...The food was stunning and everyone seemed to enjoy it, they certainly enjoyed the booze! The party afterwards turned into one long karaoke song, though I should have realised the quality would be varied when Rick started off with American Pie (Full length version...). Rick then spent the whole night cleaning someones, who will remain nameless, tonsils... The Gold star for amazing karaoke goes to Rick and Mikey. If anyone out there needs to hire a rip roaringly funny cabaret act let me know and I'll give you their email address.

Theres just a few pictures here.

Thank you to everyone who came for making the day an amazing success for us, we couldn't have asked for more from anyone.

Gears of War (GoW)

Well what to say! The new patch came out this morning with the new game type : Annexe : in it so. I've just spent the past two hours playing it and to be honest its not that great... the rounds now last too long so 100% of games see at least 2 players drop out by half time. The endless action is good but its never ever stops which can be a bit much after a while. So really I have to say warzone still rules with annex way down the list.

Should be good and reading between the lines its only a matter of time before there a version of IE for the 360 :-)
