New Transformers photos Sunday, May 13th, 2007
I can’t wait for this movie.
I’m still a bit unclear as to what Megatron is going to transform into. Rumours are that it’s going to be a tank but isn’t Brawl already a tank?

Demolishing from the ground up Saturday, April 28th, 2007
This is a building opposite the Gherkin in the City in London. It’s right outside my palce at work. As you can see, they’re demolishing the building from the GROUND UP!
There’s actually an explanation from the construction crew as to why they’re doing it this way, but I couldn’t find it to take a photo. If anyone had an explanation, please feel free to let me know!
Playing the PS3 in the boardroom at work Saturday, March 24th, 2007
The Techies at work decided to rally for the business to lavish some luxuries on us hard workers, and we opted for the following:
- Sony PS3
- Extra wireless controller
- Logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers
- Games: Tony Hawk’s Project 8, Ridge Racer, Virtua Fighter
- Movies: Open Season, Kingdom of Heaven
The above cost about £700, which we reported was the best £700 the business ever spent, and loaded the equipment up in the boardroom for a night of gaming extravaganza.

Off to submit in my Weekly Report that we should be getting more games to satisfy the masses. 
London not the world’s most expensive city? Tuesday, March 6th, 2007
It’s hard to imagine London not being the most expensive city in the world, and yet, according to a recent survey, it’s fourth behind Oslo, Paris and then Copenhagen are listed as being more expensive to live in.
Something must have gone wrong somewhere, because, this is how much it costs to get around on public transport in London:
- £4 for a single journey within Zone 1 on the London Underground
- A weekly bus pass is £14
- A one day bus pass is £3.50
- £2 for a single bus journey
A list of the most expensive cities in the world is below:
- Oslo, Norway
- Paris, France
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- London, England
- Tokyo, Japan
- Osaka, Japan
- Reyjkavic, Iceland
- Zurich, Switzerland
- Frankfurt, Germany
- Helsinki, Finland
Tokyo and Osaka are still in the top 10, whilst Hong Kong is 14, and Singapore 12.
New York is still America’s most expensive city, but the falling value of the dollar meant that it was cheaper to live in Atalanta than in Shenzen, China. Shanghai is still China’s most expensive city. It’s even more expensive to live in Moscow, than it is to live in New York.
The cheapest city to live in is Manila in the Philippines, tied with Mumbai in India.
