The curse of “what photo can we use to illustrate this story?” strikes again…

Looks like I left just in time…

Bienvenue à Sainte-Adèle

So, I’ve been in Canada for five days now. I’m living in a small town called Sainte-Adèle, about an hour away from Montreal. It’s fair to say, I think, that there’s not a lot happening in Sainte-Adèle. It’s in the Laurentides region of Quebec, which is rather well known for skiing in the winter, but in [...]

I have a confession to make: I was a little hasty in my last post. Yes, my initial reaction was not terribly positive, and yes, I couldn’t quite understand how it could have cost £400,000.
But I have spent the past few days reflecting on the logo (I’ve not had much else to do…), and I’ve [...]

There are lots of things I dislike about the London 2012 Olympics. I’m really not going to get started on them here. But today, apparently, Seb Coe and his minions reached another low: they launched the new “brand” for the games:
