You are here.
So, we had a small titter of celebration here at Humpy Towers when my facebook friend count hit 800. A bit later when it hit 900, I was further surprised but quite chuffed: it’s nice to know there’s so many people around from years gone by who, if they don’t currently keep in regular contact,…
In late 2004 in an effort to prove that you can get anything on eBay I purchased an A-Team coat hanger – it had a likeness of Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith, portrayed memorably by George Peppard. Documentation on the exact date is sketchy, however in early 2005 I came into possession of the BA Baracus one,…
Ahoyhoy. Ever been so busy having a good time that you haven’t had a chance to write about what a great time you’re having? Yeah, well… that. Following an EXTRAORDINARILY successful tour of Adelaide, Canberra, then Adelaide again, I’m now in Melbourne on a fairly warm (36 degree) day, waiting for my lift to head…

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“. …
I’ve got a bad feeling about this… For some reason I’ve made a habit of doing silly things in the month of November. Customarily this involves ridiculous facial hair, however as I reached the zenith of human achievement in that arena last year, the hunt was on for a new challenge, and somehow I got…
Recently somebody asked me how I got into morris dancing. Well, I recognise a decent opportunity for a blog post when I see one…
