Is This The Best Article About Napoletan Pizza?

Andrew — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:47:44 +0000

So I don’t post for months and the first one back is about pizza……….. But I had to share this with you. A lot of nonsense is written about pizza, especially Italian pizza, but this piece is so well researched it had me searching for flights to Naples. From the great foodie site Serious Eats, [...]

Time To Leave Apple

Andrew — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:28:29 +0000

I have to say, I think I am done with Apple. I have long been unhappy with the rate at which their product launches rendered the phone you bought six months ago totally out of date, but their policy of disabling functionality for even slightly older devices in iOS really shows them up for the [...]

Roy Hodgson Is Wrong About Olympic Lessons

Andrew — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 13:02:45 +0000

Roy Hodgson has described the London Olympics as a “wake up call” for football players and supporters. He is certainly right, the Olympics have caused anyone who cares about football to hold up a mirror and take a look at the sport. Football does not come out too well. But Hodgson’s focus is wrong, he [...]

Twitter Spelling Mistakes Number 3

Andrew — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 08:15:16 +0000

Most of these Twitter spelling mistakes come from two words sounding similar. Today we have Unprecedented and Unpresidented. I think the post from @DandyTruman is a good spin on the misspelling but caling the 2012 Olympics an unpresidented success has no defence. You mean it has never been presidented before?? That doesn’t even make sense.

Twitter Spelling Mistakes Number 2

To describe something as a damp squib means that it is something that did not match up to expectation. To call something a damp squid, however, doesn’t really mean anything at all! Please note that I searched for damp squid olympic to filter out a lot of mentions about a book with that title and [...]

Twitter Spelling Mistakes Number 1

Andrew — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 13:23:40 +0000

Oh I do enjoy a good Twitter spelling mistake. There are some good examples of how people who do not understand a word or phrase still feel they should use it. Every now and then I think of one and that just happened with the phrase “Intents And Purposes” which I know is often misused [...]

Bradley Wiggins Is The Best Type Of Hero. A Flawed One.

Andrew — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 16:11:09 +0000

Bradley Wiggins won the Olympic time trial today and has become the most decorated Olympian in British sporting history. I have aways maintained that I have three heros – Roberto Baggio, Lance Armstrong and my father. Lance is swimming against a constant tide of suspicion over whether he was clean of performance-enhancing drugs when he [...]
