2007-04-03 : THIS IS SPARTA!
300 seems like a silly title for a film, but then I guess 2001 and Se7en were both pretty popular… Acting on a suggestion from Chris, a band of like-minded intellectuals went to the BFI Imax to see the new
2007-03-24 : The Happiest City in Britain
(Advance apologies for the crappy photos – the others are trapped on my currently inaccessible hard drive at home) What better way to get into the mood of St Patrick’s Day than to head up to the northern reaches of
2007-03-12 : Heeeeeeeeeere we are in New South Wales, sheeeeeeearring sheep as big as whales (or Wales – hard to tell).
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Major bout of diary constipation there – in a nutshell, we've been working like maniacs getting everything ready for end-of-financial-year. I actually got invited to the finance dept's end-of-year mparty on Friday night, but the idea of going to

2007-03-07 : There is no dark side of the moon – it’s all dark, really.

2007-02-28 : …but let the ugly ones die.
Sometimes when I book tickets online I think afterwards “Oh bollocks, I wonder if there is another artist with that name ?”. Such thinking narrowly helped me avoid seeing James Morrison (who I had assumed was James Morrison). And in
2007-02-27 : You never quite know what you could walk into in this city
As the infamous “Snap Your Chap” documentary has recently re-screened in Australia, I thought it might be appropriate to highlight the original post from that evening.
2007-02-25 : How much more black could it be ? None… none more black.
Doing things outside of your regular comfort zone is absolutely critical, I believe, and when the opportunity comes up to do this on a weeknight over dinner, with no special safety gear or weird rigamarole involved then it is a
