You are here.
I am not a financial genius. Perhaps someone else could point out the selling point here for me? Whilst standing in the queue around the corner from work to get some cash out this morning (because my normal ATM is on the fritz) I spotted this promotional board out the front of the bank branch. …
I’m sure the plodding count of my Facebook collection is completely riveting reading for all concerned, but it seems a shame to have celebrated reaching 800, to then let 900 paddle past without mention. So firstly, congrats to Sam Brooke, my former Patrol Leader from 1st Torrens Park Scout Troop (Anacondas Patrol) for being #900….
Inspired by a conversation on Twitter between me, @mooley, and peripherally @neonwombat, here’s a list of my top ten books. I’ll qualify this by stating that I wrote this list whilst not in front of my bookshelf, or with any attempt at recollection of which books I’ve got stack up in boxes in Adelaide. Arguments…
Olympic Way was abuzz in nerdy expectation & excitement last Tuesday night as Housemate James & I approached former swimming pool Wembley Arena: mock-rock gods Spinal Tap were playing the UK gig on their single-date world tour. The fans were out in force and I spotted many sartorial nods to Tap, such as a yellow-trousered…
All I’m saying is, you wouldn’t want to move here if you were bothered by a little bit of rain, would you? In other news, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, Neil Innes, Carol Cleveland and others will be teaming up at the Royal Alber Hall in October for a performance of new…

Hmm, been doing a bit much waving around of opinions & reminiscing, and not enough recounting of what in the Dickens I’ve been up to lately, so here’s a roundup (in reverse chronological order). 29th : Night of 400 Billion Stars / Robin Ince & Friends – returning to the Bloomsbury (the scene of Ince’s…
Amid last night’s Michael Jackson news festival, a rumour popped up on Twitter that Jeff Goldblum had also died. Upon getting home I thought it a good idea to follow this up, and clicked on the link. Now, because of the 140 character limit in twitter messages URL redirectors have become quite widespread, and perhaps…
My Google Reader account has 360 newsfeeds in it. As such, I’ve totally stopped reading the freesheet newspapers that are provided around the London Underground – the Metro, the London Lite, and The London Paper. Y’know… reading them hardly seems relevant when they’re largely an amalgamation of stories that have been harvested off everyone else’s…
