Something is happening tomorrow, something major. I am not telling you what it is yet. It is an adventure whereby I need to be one hundred percent fit and healthy. Not much to ask, I am fit and healthy and only suffer from colds a couple of times a year.
So what are the major things […]
Today marks the day I bid a fond farewell to the two Steffans. They are to return to their German homeland this evening, back to strudel and raw bacon. They have seen what I do and seem very impressed, as they should be. Their maudlin dead eyes expressed genuine appreciation.
I shook each of their hands, […]
Today, my company had a visit from our German affiliates in the form of two Steffans. I was required to give my usual enthusiastic talk about the brilliant product I manage (in truth I really don’t give a rat’s arse pop pickers). The two Steffans listened and even asked a number of pertinent questions.

Celebrities Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse have stepped up to support one of their favourite London pubs. The George Tavern, on Commercial Road in Stepney, is a traditional East End boozer and is an establishment where I have imbibed on a number of occasions; it is only ten minutes away from where I live.

“No, you’re wrong, they’re all rubbish.”
Pip is yet […]
Readers of Jo Beaufoix’s brilliant blog will have seen her post yesterday. She wrote a rather emotional and heartfelt piece about Napoleon and the positive life-changing effect he has on people. I have to agree with her wholeheartedly (apart from the handsome bit). It was Napoleon who persuaded me to begin blogging and resurrect my […]
I love going to stay at Napoleon’s. It is such a brilliant contrast to that London. It’s peaceful and calm. You can walk down the street without having people constantly getting in your way or hassling you for money and fags or even trying to stab you. I know Napoleon is a little bored of […]
There has been a large turnout to polling stations in the U.S. for the New Hampshire presidential primary. I am not really interested in American politics, after-all look who the president is - intelligent guy. What caught my attention happened during one of Hilary Clinton’s campaign stops. Two men in the crowd started to scream, […]
It is a rather bizarre experience for someone of my sartorial extremes to spend a week in a tiny Derbyshire village. It is a small community where everyone knows each other and will discuss deeply personal and medical matters openly in the street. I don’t think it would be too over the top to suggest […]
