Yesterday, Tesco briefly offered the new iPad, 64GB, 4G version for £49.99 on their website. Sure enough, news of such a great deal spread quickly across social networks, and it looked as if numerous people took them up on this offer. But eventually Tesco brought down the offer and ultimately the Tesco Direct site in [...]

I came into Manchester early today. Not like some sick vulture to pick at the carcasses of those suffering after last night’s devastation but in order to try to understand. To understand what had happened, why it had happened and to try to understand how Manchester could put itself back together again. I started from [...]
The Power of the Internet

It seems that this once glorious nation of ours has been rather inundated with utterly ridiculous “not fair” news this week.
