Here's an artist's impression of the Bank of America building down at Docklands I'm working on at the moment. It's actually already looking remarkably similar to this picture. I think it's cool! (If you don't know Docklands, the tower behind is HSBC and Canary Wharf Tower would be where the picture is being taken from.)

I was back in Cambridge visiting friends last night and my walk to catch the train home reminded me of a previous trip down that way in which I luckily found a five pound note on the ground. It made my day! This has inspired a new poll. How much money found on the ground would it take to stop you and pick it up? Don't be shy! Vote, make comments! Downing College's local, The Fountain, used to weld a 50p piece to a manhole cover outside the pub window so that everyone could have a good laugh at the person picking it up... Yeah, how immature... but still funny...

Two of my workmates are going on holiday to Libya for 2 weeks. Yes, Libya. Not an all time classic holiday destination perhaps... In fact, isn't it the sort of place you send your mother-in-law?

All newspapers stories are invariably about war, famine, scandal and corruption... Let's have some positive news for a change!

Having together enjoyed so much watching Bond and his arsenal of Q's gadgets do battle on the ice in Die Another Day last night, the guys from work and I decided to go to the Marble Arch ice rink. It's great. Far better than the Somerset House one. I can recommend it!

England 53 3 South Africa

All I can say is that we deserved it; those South Africans were just too ill-disciplined. That tackle on Jonny Wilkinson was about a month late. Oi, Springboks! Who's yer daddy!?

Come on England, come on Nasser. You can do it. You can get a big total and win a test match. Otherwise, like many houses across the UK this coming week, we're all going to be completely gutted...
