World first – a New Year's Day that didn't include a hangover ! OK, that doesn't count the year I was working breakfast radio with Eldo at the girl guide camp, but then there wasn't exactly hard core booze-like-it's-the-last-day-of-the-year action going on there, either. The evening's festivities were provided by the highly excellent Polli (should…
The crew of the Big Brother House on their way out to guide in the New Year. Except for James, who's in Austria (schnitzels, not kangaroos) and Emma, who's in Bedford. Oh and me, who's not ready yet. Best not put dinner on for another minute or 10 Brian… Hope everyone had a good one,…
I was in one of the local supermarkets last night and spotted my first celebrity. By that, I mean it's the first time I've spotted one by myself, rather than having someone else point them out, and me look over and go “oh yeah”. Not that spotting slebs is a particularly rare event around here,…
Having a bit of a chat with some of the erudite crew I spend time with regarding the significance of Christmas, and wound up with one of those discussions where no real consensus is reached, and come to think of it, the only thing gained from being involved is a glimpse into the philosophical weave…
Difficult to get fired up for a gig when people say “So what you doing tonight ?” “Going to Tenacious D” “OK, well tell me how it is, mmk ?”. The Tenacious D in this case however was not the recently released move starring the acoustic rock icons JB and Rage Kage, but in fact…
I love this city. Friday night HC and I saw a Bill Hicks style show – not so much an impersonator, as he didn't parrot Hicks' material… but he claimed to be the recently returned from heaven second coming of Hicks. So, whatever you call that, I guess. Scarily uncannily accurate, and the material was…

Tuesday, 12:00: received SMS from baggage express company saying my suitcase would be returned by 17:30 at the latest. 1pm: Went to supermarket to buy 2 bayonet-fitting lightbulbs to…
After a nice relaxing 11 hour flight I'm now in LA, and it seems that my bag's already been lost. Yee haa. Aside from that, my plane to Heathrow leaves in about an hour! Am too knackered & frazzled to expunge philosophical ponderings on anything else. Oh, and the extra large tasty blackberry-shaped-turd on this…
Here's a quick peek at the truly disturbing Phys Ed Teacher mo I managed to conjure up for Movember. Don't worry, it's gone now.
Hmm, been neglecting this a bit. That's what 13 days in Australia does. NO TIME TO GOOF OFF ON T'INTERNET ! Am having the time of my life seeing everyone, and I had the most excellent birthday party ever the other night. A mahoosive thanks to everyone who came along – Roie and I both…
