As avid readers will know the Doctor is occasionally prone to the odd bit of paranoia. However, this time I am deeply concerned after a conversation with a buddy of mine. Whilst the Doctor doesn’t concern himself with console games, his friend does and as it turns out after completing “Call of Duty: World at [...]

On a darker note

Another article has a pop at a swedish lass who wants to change her name in testament to Heath Ledgers’ finest hour.

Failure at the playground

I currently work in an environment that is so frustrating due to the lack of communication in general, but I think it pales into insignificance when compared with the Olympic logo design committees around the world.
