I Am Not Russell Brand

Ooooh, what a palaver. Apologies for being absent for a few days, I have been carrying out my on call duty as a Russell Brand body-double diversion device.
I have been rather busy impersonating the celebrity clown ponse. As the media chase the long haired chap around London I lead them in the opposite direction. Not […]

Tennant Who?

Really sad news; David Tennant is standing down as Doctor Who after appearing in four special episodes in 2009 and this year’s Christmas episode. He says he loves playing the Time Lord but wants to leave the role because he wants go out as a popular Doctor. I was hoping he would stay for a […]

Drink + Computer

Yep, I did it again. I must stop because this is silly, oh so silly. However, I seem to be on repeat. I seem to be on repeat. I seem to be on repeat.
Drink + Computer/Internet = foolishness and embarrassment. My wine addled brain realised I had made a rather severe error when I was […]

Whip Snap Away

Who was that woman? She was middle aged, smartly dressed and kinda sexy in an older woman way. She was stood over the road from my flat and she was taking photos. She had a big telescopic lens camera on a tripod and was snapping away. Not just of anything, oh no. Her camera was […]

Mère Shrugger

What is it with French people? I have nothing against the French at all, in fact some of my best friends and lovers have been French. But what is it with the shrugging?
Stop me now before I make some gross racial generalisations and geographical stereotyping, but eh, what is it with the incessant shrugging? Oh, […]

The Shinning

A man became angry at me during my morning walk. I was at the Bank Bottleneck and accidentally kicked a man in the shins from behind. He was fuming and began to shout and berate me and said some rather horrible and hurtful things. In a way I do not blame him.
Kicking someone directly in […]

New Trek Pics

Now this is exciting. Well, it is exciting for me – being a Trekker and all. As you know I am really looking forward to the new Star Trek film and all reports suggest that it will be brilliant. (I will eat a hat if it is not – only a chocolate hat mind.)
Paramount has […]

Bloody Man

During my daily trek up and down London’s Fleet Street I was presented with a rather unusual sight - one that I usually encounter in the dank cack-stained Victorian streets of Whitechapel. As I strolled past the McDonalds and the Starbucks I noticed a man approaching. He was very tall, well built and quite handsome, […]
