Gardening….
The British are apparently mad for gardening, an offhand observation might say what (traditionally- I know, I know- we’re all budding Gordons and Jamies now) we lack in the kitchen we make up for in the… garden

What is the nature of reality?
I’ve taken on a big subject this week – it’s a big week, it’s a year since I started working for Laundry this week – hooray a year of blue bag krazee times – ah the memories. So to celebrate I thought I would debate the nature of reality.
A mouse in my house!
Last week, there was a mouse in my house…
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I came home to find my housemate prowling the house in his dressing gown, armed with a saucepan and a bowl of carrots. He was on a mouse hunt, as he’d spotted one [...]
The Laundry, battling the elements for your recycling needs
It’s snowing - hooray - well I hope it is as I am writing this from sunny (but cold) Wednesday. (update: hurrah it is snowing. Well hurrah because it looks pretty, boo because it means we all spent far too long getting to work today and The Laundry vans are battling the elements [...]
Complex Systems (more interesting that it sounds)
You know when you have a conversation and you can’t believe what you end up saying just to keep it going? I was stuck in a house this news years eve, when everyone was off to Tesco, having to stump up conversation with this guy who was designing a database to record every oil refinery and petrol [...]
Older & stupider? It’s not too late, grab a Rubix Cube now!
This week around the lunch club table, I was lamenting the fact that as I have aged…(no I’m no that old – young enough to joke about aging)…I have become more stupid. (Does this count as an oxymoron because I used the word lamenting in a sentence trying to exemplify my [...]
Vasovagal Syncope
Got some emails back from last week:
I actually did have one man and one woman say they may be interested in the Laundry dating service!!! but have not managed to hook them up…YET. Quite excited about the whole prospect of matchmaking, in a benevolent-not-scathing-like-usual way. HURRAH, so I will, or maybe will [...]
When Lucky got Unlucky
The unluckiest story I’ve ever heard is this.
My friend lets call her Jess, because that’s her name, is a classic american beauty, but intelligent,kind and quite cool, ALRIGHT, so not classic… but what I’m trying to emphasise is that she is purer than pure. So it was christmas in Minneapolis, Jess [...]
Sticky Stuff
Now I won’t have to touch parcel tape (no more fighting with the evil stuff when bundling up Laundry bags anymore, we’ve got super fit and speedy couriers to deliver your orders now!) any more, I want to know more about my enemy:
Pythagorean Theorem
Thanks cheeky Andy who thought that last week’s email was so loopy he asked “….…have you been sniffing those permanent markers again?!” cuh! I thought it was perfectly sensible and understandable. So this week, I will not make any jokes at all for fear of being chastised, so I am going to tell [...]
Time Travel
You super duper lot are recycling over 300 whopping tonnes of paper, card, plastic and aluminium a year!! That’s the equivalent weight of 300 rhinoceroses, blimey.
Go team Laundry, high five (I can’t master the high five or any five, I was in a night club once and someone offered me a [...]
aargh a post about computers, so GEEKY!
While clearing out your cupboards searching for old IT equipment for recycling, please spare a thought for old and long forgotten equipment of our past, top favourites a brief history:
Have a little nap
I had a bit of a nap this morning and woke up just in the nick of time for my stop at the Laundry HQ (satisfied nod). Reminded me of the time I had a doze, woke up, realised that I was AT my stop, got up, ran towards the door, got my bag strap caught [...]
The Weather
After my hols I’m feeling particularly English and prompted by glorious and rare sunny day let’s talk weather:
