The nights are drawing in and I’m standing out more and more. You see I have these rather wonder headphones from Jabra that I use to listen to my music from my phone (with 1gb storage card). The magical thing is that they are bluetooth enabled so no messy wires between my phone […]
In two week’s time, on Tuesday 7th November, Americans will go to the polls to vote in their Mid-Term Elections for the entire of the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. With Dubya’s approval rating at an all time low of below 40%, there is a very real possibility that the […]
Standing at the Pleasance Bar this year on the opening night I asked the bar man if they had any Magners. They had sponsored several venues in 2005 and they have four big adverts at Haymarket stating “Time dedicated to the Festival”. The bar man replied, “er, no. We have Bulmers which […]
