Weird Al Yankovic is a comedy legend. He released his first parody song in 1976, and has been steadily at it ever since. Far from being mainstream, people claim not to know who he is and yet all seem to know a handful of his breakthrough songs. And whilst touring nearly consistently as well, he…
Drinking whisky is excellent. The more different types of whisky, the better, as far as I’m concerned. The problem however comes about with the acquisition of many different types of whisky – bottles of the stuff are expensive, often in the range between “slightly” and “perilously” so. Many of the higher-end or more accommodating whisky…
It’s not often when your first post-breakfast decision to make is, “Now, which whisky should I start with?”. If you’re an attendee at The Whisky Show however – and provided you’ve had a late enough breakfast – it’s more than likely going to be the case. Following an excellent Bar Solo breakfast, Liz & I…
Westminster – Eating & Drinking – Cafes & Coffee Shops – Cafes The chaps in the flat hats do it again! Not content with providing the good people of Victoria with awesome coffee at The Flat Cap Coffee Company, Fabio & Robert have embarked on a bolder venture at the bottom of St Martin’s Lane…
London – Shopping – Food & Drink If there is a Burrito kingdom in London, then this place is its equivalent of Slough. My learned burrito-eating work colleague and I keenly ventured through Soho in search of this place, and he was initially optimistic about it, saying that it had an authentic taqueria feel about…
I’ve stared at the back of both of their heads. In what turned out to be a bit of a science-heavy week, HC, PB & I sauntered along to the Royal Albert Hall (coincidentally – my co-burrito-addict Mital came along the same night, but he was positioned up in the nosebleed section) to listen to…
You’d think that paying a couple of hundred quid to go to a non-work-related weekend-long conference might seem an odd thing to do, however when that conference is The Amazing Meeting and the panellists & speakers are some of the scientific & skeptical world’s most engaging and colourful personalities it suddenly doesn’t seem so weird….
London – Eating & Drinking – Fastfood & Takeaway – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – Mexican After months of hearing epic tales of Daddy Donkey from my closest network of burrito fanciers, my visit there today was completely by accident after walking to another nearby burrito vendor and finding it closed. My colleague’s eyes…
Bisley – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs Anyone looking for the English Country Pub experience would do extremely well to strap on their satnav, head towards Stroud, take the correct turnoff of Bisley – or, as we did, navigate a series of steep and extremely narrow lanes – and head to…
Paris – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants My experience so far of Parisian cuisine is that anywhere which has been designed to look like somewhere a tourist would feel comfortable is a place worth avoiding like the plague, and Buffalo Grill was absolutely no exception. In hindsight it was a little optimistic to think that…
