We did win the quiz, so are all going to be heading home with new cameras. I don’t know why more people didn’t think of getting themselves a little Wikipedia assistance in a room swamped by wifi and filled […]

Somehow we ended up in Hurricanes last night. It’s the on-site Disney nightclub, and is so bad it wraps right around and becomes good in a can’t believe we’re here sense. Or, more to the point, can’t believe we’re here at 03h30 when we have to be up in four hours.
We all had what we […]

If we’ve proved one thing, it’s the following equation:
wine + pina colada + gin and tonic + wine + cosmopolitan + wine + a little bit of food + seven rides on an upside-downy roller coaster + wine = bleurgh!
A very cool night. They closed the Studios half of the park so we could have […]

Overbranded. That’s the only way you can describe this place. After a heavy late night last night, I could have done without Goofy on the wake up call this morning.
‘Hey hey hey, sleep head. What are you still doing in bed? There’s a busy day ahead.’
Ugh.
Still, it got me out of bed.

There is Mickey Mouse foam in my bathroom. That has to be a first for a press trip.
I’m still not entirely sure why Disneyland was picked as the venue for this trip, but at least it was a quick and easy scoot across on the Eurostar. Unfortunately, being the Disney Eurostar, rather than the one […]

Packing of both kinds. It’s been an eat-eat-eat weekend, so between us I think we’ve all packed on the pounds, although the important packing has been my bag for tomorrow’s trip. I’m not entirely sure why I opted for an early Eurostar; I could have headed off at lunchtime and had a lay-in, but instead […]

Very tame in the garden this morning.

It’s been a busy week. It always is before you go away. I think I got everything done, though, and even if I didn’t, next week is a work week, so I can do it while I’m away and email whatever errant job it was back to the office.
My July travel plans have changed, yet […]

The Independent posted a story about Defra Minister David Miliband’s blog and how, despite the fact that he apparently posts all the entries himself, it costs the British taxpayer £40,000 a year to maintain it. Why? Because it currently takes up 40% of the working day of two grade-seven civil servants to put it together.
Unfortunately […]

Apple doesn’t generally do trips. It doesn’t need to. Its brand is so big and so powerful that we’d all write about it anyhow. So, it was quite a surprise - a very pleasant one - to receive a call from said company this afternoon asking me if I’d like to come away with them.
And […]
