A few weeks ago my learned colleague Billy “The Traffic Cone Marauder” Abbott and I got together, under the watchful supervision of Liz, and commenced an act of civil disobedience. You see, the splendid folk over at Master of Malt Towers had launched a highly excellent Bloggers’ Blend challenge – whereupon whisky bloggers were called…
I am a South Australian, and as such the topic I now write is one of the utmost gravity and import. For 7 years now I have optimistically purchased milk-based drinks in British and European supermarkets, hoping against all hope to find anything which might come within 400 miles of satisfying my craving for that…
If you go down to Covent Garden today, you’re in for a… errm… trip to Covent Garden. However if you’re there between 1pm and 8pm you can also pop in to number 34 Tavistock Street and visit The Balvenie Whisky Den: a new interactive space being put together by the Balvenie team. The idea is…
An uncharacteristically short blog post, in which Jason sums up the 2010 Movember experience, and pays homage to his fellow Movemberers.
Whether or not you think Movember’s going well I suppose depends on what metric you’re applying to the thing. In terms of moustache growing by yours truly, it’s putting along a bit slower than I’d like, to be honest. The growing of facial hair used to be a specialist skill of mine, and many’s been…
The First Of November. You all know what that means by now, I’m sure. According to the Rules of Movember, any traces of facial hair (other than the eyebrows) were removed from my grinning visage on Hallowe’en, and today the moustache growing starts afresh. And the question, as always, is… What Type Of Moustache…
When Warhol made his famous “15 minutes of fame” quote I suspect he meant 15 continuous minutes, rather than the sporadic splattergun effect which I’ve been putting into play of late. So, after appearing a photo in The Sun, a 2-page spread in the Virgin Trains magazine, in the background of an ITV News report…
In 2005 a few friends afforded me the opportunity to go snowboarding in Soelden, Austria. It was an exciting time, and one rich with new experiences. For instance, my German-speaking skills to date covered being able to ask, “Where is the frog throwing contest, please?”. I knew nothing of Austrian culture, nor of the etiquette…
I’ve been writing a few reviews for the Qype web community site thing – as well as being quite a lot of fun to be able to air my overinflated opinions of things in a public forum, it’s also quite a handy guide to things that might be good or not good in… well, it’s…
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… The big news though is that tomorrow night – misleadingly, April Fools’ Day – will see the first instalment of Andy (of GoodDrinksEtc)…
