This game, from Clickgamer, is of the Worms ilk of puzzle come destruction games that’s über addictive. The dirty, rotten, thieving piggies have knicked the birds eggs and holed up ‘over the way’ in various buildings and constructions. The overtly mad birds must fling themselves from a catapult, kamikaze stylee, onto the pigs to destroy them.

The simplicity and ease of play of the game makes this very easy to pick and start to enjoy and as I said quite addictive. The levels get progressively harder, but not too hard and new bird types are introduced as one progresses. The cartoon style is cutesy and slick, whilst the physics engine makes the game different virtually every play. This is a must purchase at 59p, ridiculously good, addictive fun.

The design studio that I own and run has recently finished a Wordpress based site for Market Harborough restaurant, Ascoughs.

We wish them all the best in their conquest of Google, the site looks fabulous and is going to help their marketing enormously.

Slap Happy is a must for every iphone owning, Happy Tree Friends fan. The app puts your very own Happy Tree Friend, Cuddles, in your pocket for you to knock about, maim and ultimately kill in a gruesome accident.

The graphics and sick humour are brilliantly realised. Watch your friends faces as, after they’ve said “arrrrhhh cute” upon seeing Cuddles and you slide your finger across the screen and slap him with a big smack sound. Then flip him up to the top of the screen and watch their faces again as he drops with a heavy thud to the floor. Give him a shake and listen to the “oooohh nooooo” from your now disturbed, laughing friends.

I’ll leave the rest of the delights for you to find out for yourself, but needless to say, it gets better.

If you have Sky+ this app is a must, it’ll be the best £1.19 you’ve spent. What it basically does is, after setting up an online sky account, be able to remotely record anything on your Sky+box. So if you forget to record a program you can search for it in the app, hit record and a request is sent to your box to record it. Perfect.

This is definitely one of the best apps I’ve downloaded.

Market Harborough in Leicestershire is now home to a brand new website selling stunning photographic prints. The website is www.PixOf.co.uk and features subjects such as the town of Market Harborough, Foxton Locks and local Market Harborough Churches as well as stunning images of sunsets and the Great British countryside.

All prints are available to purchase so if you’re looking for the perfect Christmas present or wedding present, maybe a beautiful shot of the wedding church, pop along to www.PixOf.co.uk and grab an amazing print.

Whilst on a wonderful camping trip to The Lake District I took these shots round and about The Langdale Valley area.

It appears that a new Gaming Shop is coming to Harborough on St Mary’s Road. ‘Chips’ are currently fitting out the old Trentuno store.

Having done some investigation I found this retail chain www.chipsworld.co.uk which has got quite a few stores throughout the UK, however none in Leicestershire which suggests Harborough would be a good  location. The group tout themselves as ‘The UK’s Largest Independent Video Game Retailer’ which could give Blockbuster a run for their money. Competition is good.

It appears my suspicions are true. The old Trentuno is now a gaming shop called Chips

Here are my HDR exploits whilst visiting the lovely Greek island of Rhodes.

Earlier this week I gained a new friend in the shape of a cheeky little Rodent called Roland. He is now one of my Twitter buddies and I have to say he’s a humorous chap. Here’s one of his recent tweets that I am supporting.

A friend and client of ours had a moment of madness whilst the snow had deeply covered the ground in Market Harborough this February and towed his son 500 yards behind his pick up truck. This may sound to most as utterly stupid and irresponsible and if you’d believe the media frenzy he should be hung, drawn and quartered. However what perturbs me is the sensationalism that inevitably follows s very small moment of stupidity.

The dad in question is not a moronic, unthinking, idiot, rather he’s a good bloke who thought he’d do as people in snow covered countries do for their kids every day and give his son a tow behind his car. Now, here is where the media go to town. Admittedly the act was done at rush hour traffic time but there were no cars on the road except those that were parked, thses were the cars that he ‘overtook’. If you’d believe the press he was weaving in and out of traffic, dragging his lad within inches of speeding wheels. The bloke went 500 yards at 8mph.

He thought the act so insignificant that he drove past the local Police station. Again the press would believe a high speed chase took place to catch him. The reality is a policeman ran out of the station and caught him on foot, that was the speed at which he was dragging his son who was wearing more protective clothing than any of the skateboarder kids who skate yards from oncoming traffic.

So, was it a stupid act? Yes most definitely but what really gets my goat is how it’s blown up out of all proportion.

UPDATE: I’m glad to see no custodial sentence was given Market Harborough man spared jail
