Spare a thought for Alton Towers which has its entire kids section named after him. Probably some awkward conversations at Merlin head office this weekend.

I'm thankful that Microsoft gave us such a welcoming, professionally made, heartwarming indie games show to help us find the platform's gems. He actually alerted me to one of my favourite 360 games, Apple Jack, as well as a lot of psychedelic humour. Good times.

I never knew the thing about cups, I just assumed it was some kind of rough guide about how many cups of tea it should make with the water, and it never seemed in any way accurate. Also the steam tube was a surprise!

The part on Lord Sheldon Way is probably the best part of all, and even that dumps you into a two lane roundabout on a blind corner, the cycleway switches sides randomly with the footway and you have to cycle across pedestrian (not toucan) crossings.
