82ASK have won yet another award: NatWest Startups Awards 2006. Best use of technology, hey? Hmmmm. I wonder if that could be in some small part because of the fantastically talented contractors they have on their tech team?

My brother-in-law Anton is a classical musician, and when he and my sister still lived in London he told me that he was chatting to his chiropractor one day and the conversation went something like this:

Chiropractor: So, what do you do for a living?
Anton: I’m a musician.
Chiropractor: Oh really? I used to be a musician too.
Anton: Yeah? What did you do?
Chiropractor: I used to be the drummer in The Clash.
Anton: *falls off table*

The thing is, he’s always making up stupid stories to wind us up, and so I was never really sure whether to believe him. Huh. Turns out he was telling the truth.
