I saw that article in the Metro this morning. That is dedication to the cause. I wonder why they did not check with a doctor prior to running the competition to see if there were going to be any serious health risks. Pretty stupid.

I will look forward to being wooped. I think that we should all get together prior to Lizzie's party on this Sat and have 3 player tennis! I have two controllers if Al is available and can bring a third. . . . :D

More like stupidity and sheer-bloody-mindedness. I wonder how much water she actually drank in the end?

I can imagine that some radio station is going to really, really get itself into trouble for that one. I think she had about 5 or 6 bottles of 250ml before she had to go home with a real headache. I don't doubt it was rediculous in the extreme. I sort of think, justifiably so, that a lawsuit is on the cards. This is one that is not silly - unlike the hot tea lawsuit which should have been thrown out of court. It should be implicit in the idea of buying tea that it is going to be hot.

I finally connected my Wii to the internet yesterday and it downloaded some updates. It look about 5 minutes to do so either the connection was slow or there were a lot of them!

The only thing it seems to have changes is when you go from menu to menu there is a set of wii screens which fade in and out. To be honest I preferred a black screen but never mind!

I think the playing went well over the weekend. People seemed to enjoy it. :D

Some of us were up till 4 in the morning playing...but in my defence, I was bullied into it! Honest.

I read an article regarding the sales of Wii and PS3 today. Apparently the Wii is outselling the PS3 approximately 2 to 1. This Yahoo! article tells you more.
