Thanks to the Duchess for drawing my attention to this one – it made me laugh a lot but on the other hand, you may want to exercise caution if you’re an arachnophobe. You have been warned. On the other hand if you have spare three minutes to kill, you […]
I was in the area so thought I’d take a quick gander at the ceramic poppies in the moat at the Tower of London. I didn’t actually go to the exhibition on this occasion as there’s a great view from the bridge approach and surrounds. I’m not sure if Joe […]
I’m slightly alarmed to find myself subscribing to the n+1 theory of bicycle ownership, where n=the no. of bicycles you currently own, (the theory being that the correct no. of bicycles to own is n+1). Don’t really know where I’m going to store another bike but I have lately been […]
I’ve written here more than once of my sojourns to Nimbin, in Northern NSW. So I was somewhat distressed to learn this week that half the town, hippy capital of Australia (some would say the world), burned down in a suspicious fire. The whole incident has proved pretty […]
…A fascinating documentary film about an amazing street photographer who’s work was only discovered posthumously and accidentally. Shame to have missed the exhibition of her work in London, in the mean time I’ll be checking out some of her work on the web.

I bought a pair of shorts from a well known online retailer. It took them 3 attempts to deliver. Here’s why… Without the ridiculously large box and accompanying packaging, it would have fitted through the letterbox and been […]
Well I didn’t watch the match but tuned into the tail end of the game when I got home, just in time to do a double take on the 0-7 score line, and see Brazil get a futile goal back… Still my good old work colleague came to the rescue […]
Had a bloody fabulous day enjoying music from around the world. Cultural Cooperation put on a great event – World City Music Village at Wilton’s Music Hall. All the performers on the day were highly talented to say the least. Stand out performers for me were Kasai Masai – great […]
For those ole fashioned folk that like a good ole fashioned computers that you can do good ole fashioned computing stuff on, maybe this is the best thing you can do with an iPad. Thanks to a cool work colleague for bringing this to my attention…
