April 29, 2008
Football Manager Live is coming! Football Manager has always been a great game for any football fan all the way back to it’s original incarnation as Championship Manager.

Justgiving.com - Raise Money for Charity Online
April 16, 2008
Justgiving.com is a website that a friend of mine has brought to my attention having recently set up an online donation webpage for an upcoming charity event.
Raising money for charity is a great thing to do, however one of the worst aspects for most people will probably be the actual admin involved is actually going around recording all their sponsors’ donations and then after the event then having to chase everyone up again to collect the money.

I’ve recently started playing a new game called Lord of the Rings Online which is an massively multiplayer online game similar to World of Warcraft, but it takes place in Tolkien’s Middle Earth setting.
