Linking to this amusing post on Iain Dale’s blog. I noticed also that John Lewis is selling upside down Christmas trees, weird I say. Perhaps there is some correlation between that and Labour’s reversal of fortunes in the opinion polls?

The Tories have also created a Gordon Brown saviour of the world ringtone. Download today!

This boy can dance…

Rob Lowe stars in the latest of the great series of Orange Film ads. Not as good as the Steven Seagal one, but great nonetheless.

Whether you respect him as an actor or not, Silvester Stallone is a legend. The trailer for Rambo IV is out, so watch it here. Personally I think it looks very similar to previous efforts…but whoever said that was a bad thing?!

I played the Wii for the first time this weekend, it is great fun but I can’t help but think the novelty would wear off. I’m more of a traditionalist when it comes to gaming, so the news that Xbox 360 users are going to be treated to both Sensible Soccer and Golden Axe is music to my ears. Microsoft have also just announced that its video marketplace offering is going to be available in the UK shortly. Awesome news, let’s just hope the catalogue is sufficient.

Iain Dale has just launched his Politicians’ Performance Index, which does exactly what is says on the tin. There are no real surprises there after the poor month that Labour has had, but moving forward I’m sure it’s going to be a really interesting take on who is doing well and others that are doing less so. Cheers Iain.

Sony has cocked up twofold with the PS3. It was too expensive on launch for the casual gamer. And now the price is likely to drop, pissing off the console’s early adopters. Moral of the story? Go with Xbox, it rocks.
