Ocarina of Time (3DS)

Well, that’s the forest temple done now – Ghost Ganon is a fun boss, I reckon – and one of the easier ones. Now it’s back to the Temple of Time to see what I’m up to next.

Ocarina of Time (3DS)

I’m all growed up now! I finally finished trawling through Jabu Jabu’s Belly after getting myself totally confused because I had it in my mind it was different. The miniboss gave me some trouble too as I have a tendency to lean to the side when I’m running in a circle and this, of course,

Tasty Noms

Okay, so, my little Scotch Bonnet plant, Stingy, has babies. So I thought I’d cook a couple of them. I chose two small chillies – a red and an orange. Given that the chillies are at their hottest when they’re green, I thought it would be a fairly safe experiment. It was – what dropped

Scottish Power

Just had an email from Scottish Power, bless ’em. They say “Wholesale energy prices have been rising dramatically too, and although we’ve been doing what we can to absorb these costs for as long as possible, we now have to increase our prices.” Looking a little deeper, I found that their profits have fallen from
