Ok, so this week we have something a bit different: mad German musician feeds stock market results into Microsoft’s Songsmith program and generates graphs set to music …

Ok people, there’s maybe four or five inches of snow out there and the country has come to a standstill. But the Government never sleeps.
I’ve just had a press release from the DCLG explaining that the snow is a great opportunity to help meet the Government’s housing targets.

I didn’t get the flat and I’m heartbroken (bit dramatic but there were tears!).
I know there will be others but I loved that flat and I had set my heart on it being mine.

It’s starting price is £145,000 but you just know it’s going to go through the roof as rich movie geeks get all misty eyed at the [...]

New year, new life, etc so after I recovered from the turkey fest I decided 2009 was going to be the year when I finally bought my own place.
But several weeks in and this whole flat hunting business is starting to feel like my love life – complicated.
At least 10 flats have taken my fancy [...]
