Well I’m just off to London for a New Year’s party. Unfortunately there is a Tube strike just starting up so there could be some fun and games getting there but should be worthwhile. Wishing you all a great New Years Eve, see you on the other side in 2006.

Happy Christmas
Wishing the readers of 11TMR (all three of you) a very happy and healthy Christmas. See you in a few days.
Christmas Party
It was our team Christmas party last night so there are some sore heads this morning all round. It seems that everyone has (eventually) made it into the office which is quite impressive given the mission that some people were on. We went up Tower 42 (there are a few pictures here) and then for …
Coldplay Live
A few months ago I managed to get hold of some tickets to see Coldplay live at Earls Court in London (always good to see big websites running on Domino isn’t it). Well the date sort of snuck up on me last night so what a nice pre-Christmas surprise. So off it was to west …

ID Cards are such a bad move
So, the government has got over the first hurdle of getting biometric ID cards for every person in the UK. I admit it’s rare for me to agree with anything that Tony et al get up to but normally I can at least see where they are coming from even if I think it’s wrong. …
Serenity
It’s not often that I mention books, films or music on here, that’s what my sister site is for but I feel that Serenity is worth a mention. I am not an obsessive sci-fi fan but this is of superior quality so it’s definitely worth going to see. It seems that a few of the …
If you don’t know (or care) about British politics then ignore this, but Boris Johnson has posted a great article about why having Gordon Brown as PM would be a good thing. As he says… “Bring it on”.
It was the leaving do of someone I work with (lots of people are leaving at the moment) last night. I hadn’t planned to stay for more than a couple of drinks but one thing led to another and I ended up missing the last train home so it became a matter of finding a …
