Wii Can Haz Football?

Blimey, this looks awesome:



Now who do I know with a Wii who lives, say, 500 yards down the road, Paul?

A Bit Of A Push To Get Through In One Sitting*

One for Antonia's bookshelf. The reviews are, er, insightful:

Amazon Reviews for 'Penetrating Wagner's Ring' (Da Capo Paperback)

* yes, that was mine; I'm very very sorry...

Pimp My Ride (Daddy)

Awesome wigged out strollers (no, Freyja, not for the mean streets of South East London)

The Roddler

"USING collapsible, lightweight monocoque chassis construction crafted of aircraft inspired metal composites, we are able to leverage the durability and weight saving properties of the industries most forward materials to craft a stroller that carries a presence, not the pounds. Choose from one of our eight color themes or kustomize your Roddler with your own flair. We offer anything from a basic pearlized paint to stunning metallic surfacing, or, get our artists inspired to produce something that is truly one of a kind."

For $2,500, you'd hope so!

A Bridge Too Far*

Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal

No complaints really - a very even first half, followed by a goal for us from an unlikely source (a Bacary Sagna glancing header from a corner? WTF?) and then a masterclass in persistent finishing from Drogba (ably assisted, much to my annoyance, by AFC old boy Anelka). Large hint of offside for the first of theirs? Yes, but they had more than enough other chances to clinch it and Almunia had to make some smart stops. We suffered from the yips up front again; Adebayor was anonymous (he should never have had his hair cut) and whilst van Persie showed some glimpses of his brilliance, his 5 months out showed and he tired late on. Hleb created a bit and Theo came on too late to make a difference but we were disjointed and yet again couldn't hold onto a lead. Chelsea could yet win the title; but it's Man United's to lose, really.

And if we don't get anything this season? Well, it wasn't really today that was pivotal; the four draws coming into this derailed us (and how). Was Eduardo's sickening injury too much for a young team to cope with? We may never know. I know it's not over but it just got a whole lot more difficult - and now it's essentially out of our hands...

* what price this being a tabloid headline tomorrow?

Watch! The! Football!

There are some moderately important football matches being played this afternoon so I thought this might get us in the mood:



Up the Arsenal...

On The Move

I am in the process of moving our photos to Flickr. We will go by the unremarkably factual screen name of London Lightly.

Many thanks to Doug for hosting our galleries all these years (and keeping an eye on the comment spam!) but ~2,000 snaps of Freyja later and another one the way (offspring, not photo...) we're going to try hanging out with the Web2.0 community. So for the moment, there will be two links in the sidebar for the little madam until I sort out moving the archive across (requires all sorts of exciting/hacky Gallery1.5 -> Gallery2.0 -> Flickr action).

Enjoy.

Eee We Go Again

Whilst I generally leave the Freyja updates to Solveig, as she does them so much better than me, I couldn't help but feel I ought to bring this to the attention of my fellow gadget-loving dads (=>'dadgets'?):

Asus Eee + BBC iPlayer + cBeebies = Bye bye, Daddy; see you later.

Hang onto your Eees, chaps!
