Here in the UK, ASOS ( http://asos.com ) have an amazing returns policy. My girlfriend (and me to a certain extent) generally returns around 50% of her ASOS purchases after trying them on at home. You can return them in the same bag, have t

I think both tier 2 and 2 require sponsorship by an employer which would preclude setting up a new business. I'm going through a tier 2 application at the moment and it is hell under the new UK government.

I have fond memories of using Turtle in primary school. It had much more of a positive impact on me than re-typing code from a book into my Amstrad CPC-6128!

I've used Sammy for the routing functionality of a new touchscreen kiosk which is about to roll out in a couple of museums in London. Really impressed with it and can't wait to use it for other applications.

Sometimes I wonder what my iPad can do that I can't do better on my laptop. The answer, always, is reading articles Instapaper. That is if I can manage to wrestle it away from my girlfriend playing Plants vs Zombies!
