At blueyonder we’re committed to being the best and as part of this commitment we are upgrading our blueyonder services.

So blueyonder’s blistering speed is set to get even faster!

There’s no extra charge for this - it’s absolutely FREE which means you can enjoy 50% faster broadband for your existing monthly charge.

You don’t need to do a thing!

By the end of May, all 512k, 1Mb & 2Mb customers will be automatically upgraded, enabling them to go 50% faster.

Despite incessant cajoling of my parents I’m currently on the ‘512k’ service, so shall be booted up to ‘750k’ by the end of May. Cool or what Not often you get something for free…

You know what I like? Jelly. It’s great. It tastes good, it looks good and it’s fun to make. This is how food should be. I’ve always wanted to get a brain-shaped mould then make some pink jelly…Would be most Hannibal. Quick poll: What’s your favourite jelly colour? I say, rather boringly, red.

I finished my OU assignment! Woohoo! The last part was a write-up of an experiment, which to be honest was a piece of cake given all the practice we had at those in school. Even better was that this had a word limit, so there was no need to waffle on for pages with the myriad of ways the experiment could be improved etc. Despite having finished, I have so far resisted the temptation to buy City of Heroes. I took a deep breath and forced myself to carry on playing Broken Sword 2, which as it happens I completed. I still didn’t buy CoH, but instead moved onto Runaway, which, so far, kicks ass. Adventure Game + point & click + great graphics + a good storyline (so far) = a happy Andrew. I had it shipped from the US a few weeks ago as it’s been continually delayed in this country. With the current exchange rate it was only £18 total, which is pretty cool.

Still…superheroes. I agree that it would be fun to play as a villain, but then you’d want PvP, which always causes problems. It’d suck if you were a newbie and some high-level villian kept killing you. The nature of the game is that you can be a hero at any point at any time, so you couldn’t really confine pvp to certain areas. You could impose limits on who could fight who, I suppose, but it’d get fairly limiting then.

Superheroes superheroes superheroes. UPDATE: This review, as with all I’ve read, seems to like it very much…
