I got this yesterday, and I just can't stop looking at it and giggling myself silly. Maybe it was the trauma of IB Maths as a teenager. People getting the email version of this will need to visit my site to see what it is, if you're that interested.
Sent a form off for my UK tax return the other week. It was the 3rd copy of the same form that I'd sent, so needless to say this has been dragging on a while now. In an effort to guarantee it didn't get lost (again) I sent it registered mail, at great expense to…
Surprisingly enough, the first day of Movember is the clean shaven one. I probably should've mentioned this before now, but the way it works (according to the MOnifesto on www.movember.org) is you begin the MOnth clean shaven (31st Oct), then over the course of the next 32 days you grow whatever you can on your…
Ahoyhoy… this is probably only really relevant for people in Adelaide, but here goes. All-round top bloke & former housemate of mine Mike is moving out of the Goodwood Road Brewshack (meaning that you won't see the Celica parked in the drive any more !). The problem is, the new place he's going to doesn't…
I was just embarking on an explanation of Movember to a work colleague, and when confronted with the question “Have you ever heard of Movember?”, his response was: “No ? Is it some sort of festival where you wear mauve for the entire month ?” He and another workmate were developing the idea into some…
Oh dear, oh dear. Trouble is brewing in London. At least, it is in the bit that I frequent. The trouble is in the form of the winter menu at the great temple of all-consuming globalisation, Starbucks. Typically I eschew Starbucks and all they stand for. Their coffee is overpriced and nothing particularly special. Their…
I suspect this is all getting a bit silly… I recall reporting with some amusement last Christmas about the release of a 4 bladed razor. It appears that Gillette have upped the ante a bit with the announcement of their latest product due in 2006 – the Gillette Fusion. In another dramatic step towards the…
I know they say that “Variety is the spice of life”, however there are times when I wonder if I should possibly be using a little less spice… Friday night Kris, Morgan, Craig, Kate & I wandered around a few pubs in London, including the fairly impressively situated “The Heights” bar – definitely have to…
A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky/privileged enough to be involved in a wedding in Melbourne. I think I'll write a bit about that now. As previously mentioned on jasonbstanding.com, the night of Friday Sept 30th was a rehearsal for the wedding at the St Vincent de Paul church… already there was a good…
ATTENTION ALL blokes capable of sprouting a bit of face-fungus ! It is your solemn duty to join us in the celebration of the MOst prestigious MOnth of the year, MOVEMBER! Proudly grow a dirty great tash for some or all of the month. You can start with a beard now and trim it back…
