Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check it out. I can Boris Bike it to Oxford St one day, it will work up my appetite as well which is a bonus.

Yeah, he took the complete smackdown with grace.
The second coming of Jeremy Hunt.
Naw, that would be the resultant child from this unholy union.

Loving their tags. I think that's only the 2nd time I've seen someone un-juniored early.

Yea definitely Wahaca. Never been to Nandos nor do I even want to try it.
On Fridays we usually rotate Byron, Wahaca and a few other places in CW for lunch.
I agree. When I used to live abroad, shops would open from 9am to 2pm and then reopen from 5pm to 10pm or midnight in the weekends. It was so convenient not having to wait until the weekend to buy stuff.
Aren't there any shopping centres close-by that close at 9pm? There's a few that do here.
There's a shopping centre that does late-night shopping (8pm lol) on Thursdays but that's it. It did take about 100 years for pubs to serve alcohol after 11pm though, so I'm not expecting quick progress or anything.
Maybe I should get a job that gives me loads of free time. I wonder if Kentpaul Inc. is hiring.

Can't you get stuff delivered to work? That's what I do, at least if it's small like a book or a game.
That's a good idea, and one I've thought about, but you haven't seen the mail staff here. It seems like it's taking the piss a bit too, I knew a guy who would get everything delivered (kitchen units, stereos etc) and he was a massive Jeremy.
I'm the same. Though i start work at 2pm so I'm home for deliverys -/- and i have time to dash into town to pick something up on the fly if need be.
Nothing more exciting then seeing the mail dude walking along the street with my Amazon order. Its like Christmas every time it happens.
You don't get that excitement shopping in town.
All my British cash is in euro's I'm skint. *Scoffs off brand pringles with pride*

WTF!?!? Kitchen units!?!
We have internal mail, but anything from a courier is held at the front desk in the lobby, people just pick up their stuff on their way home. The front desk will send an IM over the internal system to say that they have received a parcel to the person who got it. It's a pretty simple system.
Yeh, kitchen units man. Along with loads of miscellaneous ebay junk for DIY too, along with everything on sale from ebuyer or pixmania. And the guy just didn't care. We have a mailroom here, so everything goes there first (internal and external), nothing is held by reception.
If it's a small package the mail dudes deliver it around the building, the bigger stuff is held in the mailroom and you just pick it up from there. I'm not as shameless as that fella though.
Sony Liverpool, man
The rise and fall of the UK games industry is heartbreaking.
Theres still Dundee!
We need to sort out the games industry here.
Why aren't we looking at Canada and taking note?
Slightly related - My company actually sells all the desktops and laptops that Activision Europe use.
You should see the business park that Acti HQ has in Uxbridge.
GORGEOUS.
And Acti have recently opened/bought a studio in Leeds.

Didn't know there was such a thing. I'm so sheltered.
I saw that coming and tried to edit the bit out about the euros. Work computer nearly crashed before I could.
I knew what you meant, I was just being facetious

Hurts a lot because of the family connection. Both Liverpool and Cambridge were/are on life support for a while.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Cambridge will be next.

No, Cambridge is bullet-proof. Without Cambridge SCEE falls apart. They have been working on PS4 for a while now, just as they were the first SCEE studio to break ground on PS3.
Yep - what else do Sony have in the UK now?
Cambridge - surely working on PS4
London - still working on SingStar and other drivel? I'd love to see them tackle something proper.
Oh, and Media Molecule who are at least working on something interesting on Vita
Edit: ugghhh, double post AGAIN. Somebody slap me.
This is one write-up I'll be reading. Make it as 50 Shades Of Grey as possible please.
Watch out while using the urinal.

I can't even explain how excited I am about this development, but I'm confused: is Evil coming to Scotland, or are they in Amsterdam at the same time? Either way, this HAS to happen.
