Time to read: 2 minutes So last night i needed to get to soho, and thanks to the trusty CityMapper app, i knew i could grab a bus in 15min from waterloo bridge. From work to the stop, it’s less than a 5min walk, so I didn’t run. Except that when i got to the stop… Something happened. Which resulted […] continue reading »

The UX of 21st century tv series
Time to read: 3 minutes I love stories. And television series are lovely little drip-fed stories with the same characters, new gags, amusing plot twists, that go on and on for 12 hours each season… but are released on an arbitrary weekly schedule and time!

But OUTLET requires a £7.50 subscription to let you contact the advertiser. (EEEP!) So… I used part of the description text to google with, and found the same advert on SpareRoom!!

070 phone scam
Time to read: 4 minutes So I’m looking to move back to London, and more actively since the announcement of the futher rise of train fares in 2013. I already pay £280/month for my commute. If I could find a flat in zone two, that cost would halve. Of course living in London costs more, but if my rent+council tax […] continue reading »
