Due to an injury to a tendon in my foot, I had to stop running and so to keep my fitness ticking over I bought and entry level Carrera Karkinos road bike from Halfords and decided to focus on cycling rather than just stop training. I did a month’s worth of training, a couple of […]

One of the best intros to any movie ever has to be the beach landings depicted in Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. Sat here behind our desks we can’t even begin to comprehend how those young men felt and although just a movie, it’s about as close as we could ever get to seeing the devastation […]

See something so staged on social meda that screams ‘Social Media Engineering’? Thought so. A picture paints a thousand words, right? Sort of. A great picture will get you a whole bunch of ‘Likes‘, ‘+1s‘ ‘pins‘ and ‘favourites / retweets‘. To get these, the picture has to be pretty special. A great landscape, a colourful […]
