Have wanted to do this for years, but last week I finally got myself and Greg up Parliament's Clock Tower to see Big Ben (the Bell). We walked up 334 steps in stages before: 1) Stepping behind the four 24-ft-diameter clock-faces felt weirdly safe as it was an enclosed space - despite being a foot and a layer of glass away from a 300-ft fall. Tried to imagine the WW2 bomb exploding all the glass out...

Bong! Big Ben is on Twitter

Telegraph Blogs - Technology (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009

In the first five games, he has averaged 10 rebounds in 31 minutes while also playing the kind of hard-nosed interior defense that once helped him anchor Detroit’s NBA championship team in 2004. “I just thought [...]
