Well my most anticipated game of 2010 has arrived on Xbox 360 demo and what was supposed to make me smile from ear to ear has left me feeling a little deflated.   Sure COD/MW2 is a great shooter, but I'm not always satisfied running round like a nut…

Jon Clarke Info:

Hi, Jon here, web marketing and advertising guy, the founder of MediaStarz.co.uk and a few other things. I have several interests on the go at once, but love to kick back with family, friends, live music and games/gadgets, supporting West Ham is my rollercoaster and getting a chance to play softball is always worth it.

Please say hi and add me as a friend, I'll add all manner of things here over time, great internet widgets, mobile platforms, helpful sites, etc.

We have a few of us looking at how we can make this site more fun, helpful and informative. If you have an idea please do tell me and we'll look at it. If you want to help create something for all here then your help would be totally appreciated.

Clock House Zone 2&3 CPZ Public Meeting, 24 June, Report for all those who didn't attend

I wrote this on the major CPZ thread on this site, click here, but I thought I'd post it as a blog too, so it's easier to find for others as the other thread is long and moves quite quickly with new comments. It's important residents know the facts and can find them quickly. So here goes...

Attending the revamped sports centre these p… Continue
