Oh, such a dramatic week. First, Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs – now known to have had an affair with Welsh model Imogen Thomas – put his foot in it by attempting to sue Twitter after some of its users posted his name despite the fact he had taken out an injunction preventing UK media from naming him. The only problem is that it caused so much outrage that Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used parliamentary priveleges to name him anyway.

There are a few things I would like to say about Microsoft’s Kinect. Firstly, I am now the proud owner of one – yes, it was one of those impulse, suddenly-got-to-have-it, Christmas presents for the family. Secondly – and surprisingly – it wasn’t me that led the charge here. It was my wife. Note: I was a big gamer in the past, but I haven’t really touched a console for a good few years.
