I’m sure there must be a way of connecting yesterday’s news story “London exodus as Australians return home for jobs and sun” with last week’s somewhat heavily hyperbolised headline, “Aussie sperm floods UK” (making it hyper-bollock, rather than hyperbolic). That’s right, they’re pleading for Australians to stay in London, even though there’s scientific evidence that…
Having elected to debark (?) the train at Royal Leamington Spa, I am pleased to announce a dramatic improvement in the anagram situation. Among hundreds of others, this place offers “A linty promo lasagne”. I could live here.
It’s hardly topical at this stage of the game, but in the last week of July Richie & I hopped on the train over to Paris to catch the last stage of the Tour de France. This may seem a surprising move for someone who’s scarcely expressed any interest whatsoever in the world of professional…
As I wandered up Victoria Street back to the office this afternoon, I discovered the trouble with simultaneously being at the tail-end stages of a horrible cold (with the running nose and the ever present sensation that you just might not have applied your hanky correctly), and having a beard that looks like this: Everyone…

This project of writing up my Vegas trip is proving more difficult than I thought, so in the meantime, I’d like to document my enthusiasm and surprise for the particular part of south London I’ve spent the last 12 or so hours in. Previously I had understood that it was totally inaccessible (the A to…
So, I tend to quote a lot of British Comedy at people, right? By which I mean lines from TV shows and movies – stuff like Blackadder, Monty Python, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones, Bad News, etc. – as this was my peer group’s aggregate sense of humour, and we all enjoyed being able to…
I’m no great scientician, however I do find science interesting and I envy those who had the brain capacity to stick with it (my scientific academic career consisted of getting straight ‘A’s in chemistry right up to the point we started doing vapour pressure, at which point I lost the plot & never really recovered. …
In response to my recent Facebook message from Mr J. Davis of Adelaide, South Australia: I’d like to suggest that there’s more than one form of victory available. Yep.
