IKEA asked me for some feedback

I just got an email from IKEA asking me for some feedback about their delivery to my place of work last week. It was pretty appalling so I let them know what I thought… The delivery dudes pretty much refused to deliver because they couldn’t find our office. We have a big red door…

The Brown Flag Awards

My dear blog, I’ve done a little post somewhere else when you weren’t looking. Take yourself over to the GeekDad blog and read about what we get up to at the weekend with our kids and some cool gadgets and toys. Geek Dad is now standing in its own two feet having come out from under…

MUSE

MUSE, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. I managed to get some tickets to the MUSE promotional show following the premiere of the Brad Pitt film World War Z. I’ve seen MUSE a couple of times at Wembley Stadium but the venue, Horseguards Parade in London, seemed an opportunity not to miss and what a show! What…
