Federer has just broken back for the second time in the first set! It’s 5-all and he is serving, but it is advantage Nadal.
That last point was more than a little lucky when Nadal’s passing shot clipped the net to go out. Federer’s nerves are tingling as he moves to serve. He goes for it, [...]

One of those gem emails that goes around from time-to-time. I feel it deserves to be embedded somewhere so here it is. I hope you enjoy:
ONE-POINT DARES
1. Run one lap around the office at top speed
2. Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other ‘non-player’must be in the toilet at the time).
3. [...]

Very interested to read this Reuters story about an employee of the French bank Societe General who managed to be quite sneaky… and get away with gambling £37 Billion pounds, that’s 50 billion Euros, of the bank’s money. Cheeky chap.
It’s silly money we’re talking about here. More “than the gross domestic product of Morocco”. And [...]

A friend got me into this show. He makes films – the latest one won some awards too. With my limited knowledge of TV, as far as I am aware Trailer Park Boys has never been aired in the UK, although I’d hazard a guess it has reached or is about to reach homes in [...]

Hmmm. Where to begin really…*
(*if you know me, or work with me, I will not confirm which if any of these events are real)
- Turning up at 9am on the first day. Turning up at closer to 10am pretty much most other days. Isn’t flexi-time great. Getting home closer to 7pm than 6pm most [...]

© Duncan Wheeler 1997-2007Have you ever wondered where possums sleep during the day? I mean, this is a country with really thin trees with really small leaves and somehow there are thousands of fat furry brown things the size of petrol cans supposedly hanging off these supermodel- proportioned trees during broad daylight, which by the [...]

I was on my way back from a solo camping trip in the middle Highlands. I had been on the overland track for three days and somehow I kept passing the same bunch of Americans in their campsite on the shores of a lake. They must have been three [...]

Here’s a poem I wrote to commemorate a special event that happened to me last Sunday night:
The stars, the stars, the cars and the bars,
