You are here.
There’s no point in instigating a cockup if you can’t tell everyone about it, right? Back in June Emzo kindly bought me a ticket to see Teignmouth alt rock legends Muse in November for my birthday, and ever since I’ve been pretty damn excited about the idea. Bop & Tom wanted to come along, so…
Tuesday night saw the much anticipated arrival of the Boffoonery show – a comedy fundraiser benefitting Britain’s historical codebreaking centre, Bletchley Park. If the name’s not familiar, Bletchley Park is the site where British cryptanalyst Alan Turing – with the aid of his dedicated team – cracked the formidable German encryption codes being used on…
A bloke just walked into the office and asked if he could check our airconditioning after lunch.

And that, as they say, was the trip. I’m presently parked in the BA lounge at JFK, having been dragged from my 9:00 flight to the 18:00 one. They offered me $800 by way of compensation for my trouble, and by smiling at the lady I managed to wangle a day pass to the lounge…

Possibly the finest Top Ten I’ve ever assembled. It’s bewilderingly good.
I suspect this is going to be one of those posts that begins with “I don’t normally get involved in such things, BUT…”. Hmm. OK, it would be safe to say that the recent televisual goings on involving Harry Connick Jr. in Australia have been quite well publicised, and possibly the last thing the world…
There’s not much more to this than blatant self-promotion – the other week our morris dancing team (that would be The Westminster Morris Men, in case this wasn’t yet abundantly clear) was filmed as part of an ITV News piece to promote the upcoming premiere of the new film, “Morris: A Life With Bells On“. …
