What is your decade?
When I was growing up I always said I would never ‘get old’ and would be in to the latest gizmos, gadgets, music and films. However as time went by I have stayed firmly an 80′s man. It was the main decade I grew up in and in my opinion was the decade of the … Continue reading
Time to be Wiinabled
In one of my madder moments, I have become Wiinabled after managing to find one of this years most demanded gifts – a Nintendo Wii.
