If anyone asks you, I don't live in the England, right? I'm from Beverly Hills.

See, I was listening to Keane's new album, Under the Iron Sea, and thinking to myself that I cannot think of any similar music.

Then it occurred to me that maybe I hadn't listened to enough music to decide that there wasn't any similar around!

I'd read something a while ago about Pandora. This site builds you personalized 'radio stations' that play music with similar musical qualities to music you tell it you like. The problem is, it needs you to be a US resident, asking for a ZIP code and I could only think of one.

I seeded the station with 'Crystal Ball' from Keane, and then added 'Spitting Games' by Snow Patrol. The result of that and some other decisions I made is Unrational Radio.

Big Brother is over - and, no surprise, Pete (aka Tourrettes boy) won it.

Earlier I mentioned that I'd put bets on three of the housemates to win, Pete, Imogen and Glynn. I was hoping for Glynn to win it, purely and simply because I stood to make the most money out of him winning (£21). As it was, with Pete winning, I got £6, which is a measly £1 profit.

Shame you couldn't bet each-way on Big Brother.

It started small, with Tamagotchi batteries; you've got to get your Tamagotchi batteries from somewhere, right?

Then it got a little bigger, an Analogue cable TV receiver; every home should have one.

But I think I could have gone a little too far with the Porsche Boxter.

I'm sure Suzy will understand.
