Like Clive James, minus the experience, technique, fame or figure.
The argument’s divided over whether the Aussies or Brits are more accustomed to lengthy drives to get to places — sure, in Australia we’ve got vast distance from nearly every point in nearly any direction you care to start. However in England a 100 mile car trip can take 6 hours, depending on traffic and how may flakes of “adverse weather condition” have fallen. Nevertheless, our 7 hour drive from London’s Mile End up to Cockermouth seemed to absolutely zip by largely thanks to the excellent conversation of Belinda & …

Argh! So much going on here at Humpy Towers – I’ve barely had a chance to comprehensively narrate all of it in an overly bombastic manner, such as is typically the custom…

We’re running a monthly whisky tasting club, with the idea being to keep it affordable & relaxed, and give people a chance to experience a range of whisky tastes & flavours …
Jason loves experiencing life & getting to know people. Professionally he’s in the Internet business, and loves the way it can be used to do almost anything. He occupies his spare time doing most things that present themselves as possible, such as abseiling down the side of a hospital, attending Crufts, redefining the sport of snowboarding, and morris dancing. His passions include live music (all forms), ludicrously expensive whisky, and t-shirts. Mmmmm… t-shirts… He is really impressed by people who do science.
