-A very happy birthday to Dot Net staffer Haydn Gleed, who is celebrating his birthday however they celebrate birthdays in Wales. I’ve heard something about a sheep, silly putty, two rubber bands, and a cantaloupe. Haydn has done some great work for the site via blogs and some great audio shows with British Invasion partner Darren Gutteridge, and Haydn is always game for trading ridiculous insults about our respective countries. Nice soccer team.
