Whoa, stadium gig! And in this case, the biggest stadium of them all. A veritable modern day Colosseum, or perhaps a great temple built to honour advertising and football – Wembley Stadium. Cunningly, when I'd bought my ticket from eBay I'd neglected to ask where all the others were going to be, and so instead…
Massive thanks to all who got involved in my recent plea to find red explorer socks. The response was truly overwhelming, and I was amazed that so many of you would take time out to go hunting for socks on my behalf. Bizarrely, it seems that the shortage of these items is a global issue…
Last Sunday I went to the Antony Gormley exhibition (Blind Light) at the Hayward Gallery. If I knew Gormley was a famous sculptor, it didn't click until after I did some googling for him whilst trying to write this – as such, I went in with no real preapprehensions of what I was supposed to…
I know that I've spewed forth a load of rhetoric about London not being my ideal of an environment in which to raise a child, however from time to time it occurs to me that there are things here which I desperately wish I'd had access to during my high school education, and one of…
Wow, this sock project has proven a couple of things to me so far – primarily that there's more of you reading this than I thought there were, and also that the dreaded sock shortage extends to Fair Oceania as well. Size 6-10 red socks are in abundance, but that's no use to me –…
Oooooh yeah, feast your sensory organs on this little nugget! Ordinarily I wouldn't write a whole blog entry about a random link, however this is too good not to draw to your proper attention. How HAS the world gotten this far without virtual karaoke?! Luckily this gap in the market has now been firmly plugged…
Had a dream last night that I went to a big company meeting for a large software crew I was working for – no idea where or what it was – and for some reason we'd all taken our desktop PCs along. For some reason I was late; as with most dreams, recollections are sketchy…
I've been wearing red Explorer socks (Holeproof Explorer – the 4WD of socks) since I was about 15. Not 100% sure why, but I suspect it's cos Explorer socks are nice & thick, and they're good for preventing blisters and foot-rubbiness, and red just cos I like red. However my s(t)ocks have become somewhat depleted…
Seldom do I get the opportunity to genuinely do nothing, and that's exactly what I did on the weekend – the problem being of course that it's a difficult thing to blog about, seeing as how my blog is traditionally a list of stuff that I've been doing. How best to illustrate NOT doing anything?…
…a false beard ranking problem – I've been included in the vote for the June Beard Of The Month on Travelbeard.com, however at the minute it's not looking promising. …a coffee-making stalker – I go to Marks & Spencer for a coffee every day, and having established myself as a regular customer, the girls who…
