Oh yes, it’s THAT time of year again – Movember! And, given my lack of charitable activity of late (in honesty, I’ve not done much since the great hospital abseil) I thought what a perfect chance to promote awareness of prostate cancer, and hopefully raise a few quid towards eradicating it, or at least making…
On our recent trip to Las Vegas I was lucky enough to insinuate myself onto a guided tour of a fascinating and overlooked piece of Sin City’s heritage, the Neon Boneyard. It was an extremely near-miss, owing to my propensity to not really know what day or time it was, but luckily just that week…
This could be interesting. Am en route to Dublin for work today – I love an early flight. The first part of the plan came off ok: the waking up at 6:30 bit. Getting to Victoria station was straightforward. Getting the quarter-hourly Gatwick Express? Am not sure whether it’s Sod’s Law, or comeuppance for my…
I’ve been quite enjoying the recent story about the campaign to get some atheist-driven advertising onto the side of London buses. The nuts & bolts of it being that for many years now non-Christians have had to endure Christian advertisements all over every available surface, and after a comedy writer followed a link at the…
As I wandered up Victoria Street back to the office this afternoon, I discovered the trouble with simultaneously being at the tail-end stages of a horrible cold (with the running nose and the ever present sensation that you just might not have applied your hanky correctly), and having a beard that looks like this: Everyone…
London – Cafes & Coffee Shops – Juice, Shakes & Smoothies – Restaurants – Fast Food & American I had great expectations for The Diner in Camden – after keenly watching its transformation from the sticky cesspit known as Arizona Bar – however despite making some fairly clear promises, it fails to deliver. Everything about…
Ovation (from The Free Dictionary) Enthusiastic, prolonged applause. A show of public homage or welcome. An ancient Roman victory ceremony of somewhat less importance than a triumph. Last week, thanks to the eagle-eyed efforts of Paul the Dodgy Aussie, I was priveleged to see the farewell tour of British Comedy Legends French & Saunders –…
London The bar upstairs from Ronnie Scott’s (imaginitively named, “Ronnie’s Bar”) was previously Members Only – however all that’s changed now, and it gives the rest of us access to quite a funky little room! Open nightly from 6pm, or from 9pm for a small fee, you can head up & enjoy groovy tunes from…
OK, so in an alleged “story” this week (i.e. it’s not proper news, but it’s probably more interesting than hearing about the bloody credit crunch again), London saw the results of the Dirty Hands Study – conducted as part of Global Handwashing Day by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. What the hell…
After getting a bit sick of reading about Iceland’s plummeting economic situation in the UK press, I thought I’d have a nose around the Australian newsfeeds for a bit to see what was afoot Down Under. Refreshingly, the headlines I spotted were: 30 lesbians impregnated by the same man Food shop infested with rats and…
