London The bar upstairs from Ronnie Scott’s (imaginitively named, “Ronnie’s Bar”) was previously Members Only – however all that’s changed now, and it gives the rest of us access to quite a funky little room! Open nightly from 6pm, or from 9pm for a small fee, you can head up & enjoy groovy tunes from…
OK, so in an alleged “story” this week (i.e. it’s not proper news, but it’s probably more interesting than hearing about the bloody credit crunch again), London saw the results of the Dirty Hands Study – conducted as part of Global Handwashing Day by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

After getting a bit sick of reading about Iceland’s plummeting economic situation in the UK press, I thought I’d have a nose around the Australian newsfeeds for a bit to see what was afoot Down Under. Refreshingly, the headlines I spotted were: 30 lesbians impregnated by the same man Food shop infested with rats and…

London – Restaurants – Italian & Pizza As soon as we walked in the old bloke (who you logically assume to be Sergio) treated us like old friends, despite us never having set foot in the place before. It felt warm, cheery, and welcoming – and that flying start was only improved upon by the…
Straight from the horse’s mouth. Oh well, at least it’ll reduce the aggregate global amount of sphincter-twitching that goes on from day to day.
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…
