I’ve had a really, really fun couple of weeks, but that has meant I’ve not really had time to post here. It was my birthday last week, and it turned out to be the happiest birthday I’ve had in years (and not just because of the yummy choccy cake pictured above). I had some really [...]
I was intending to do a bit of almost-live blogging about this breaking news yesterday, but unfortunately my broadband went down about 5.30pm and has only just returned, albeit in a rather unreliable state (expect a rant about Virgin Media shortly). So, 21 hours late… High drama in East Dulwich this yesterday afternoon, as a [...]
Almost certainly story of the week: Drunk Darth Vader’s Jedi assault. So many great lines in one article… A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church and Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: “I hope [...]
The next Lib Dem or Labour person I catch putting a campaign leaflet through my letterbox is going to be limping away with their remaining local election material protruding from their backside. I have a ‘No junk mail please’ sticker on my letterbox (which actually works a treat when it comes to takeaway food and [...]
I’m not sure if I’ve posted this before, but to keep the ball rolling, here’s one of my favourite bookmarks: Bee Dogs, the premier online repository for pictures of dogs in bee costumes. And, having waffled on drunkenly about the history of Dawson’s Hill on Saturday evening, I might as well post a link to [...]
I was planning to have an early night tonight, but instead I find myself waiting for my next door neighbour’s living room window to be boarded up at 3am. At about one o’clock this morning I heard some noise which I initially put down to my cat Patty playing. When I realised the noise was [...]
This is my idea of relaxed blogging — sitting in the garden on a Sunday afternoon, cool drink in hand, watching the cats chasing flies (OK, I could do without the flies, but they keep Patty and Selma amused — see exhibit A and B below). The one down-side of the iBook’s white finish is [...]
I suppose I ought to follow up my previous posts with a comment on the election result. Sadly the Lib Dems didn’t manage to unseat the Labour MP here, so Dulwich residents are going to be suffering from another four years of Irritable Jowell Syndrome. Her majority did go down by about 4,000, mostly in [...]
In case anyone’s interested, I ended up voting Green. Just hope to God Tessa Jowell doesn’t beat the Lib Dems by one vote….
Isn’t it amazing how MPs suddenly get interested in their constituents’ views in the weeks before an election? I’ve had several letters, a paper and a questionnaire from my MP Tessa Jowell (archetypal Blairite with allegedly very dodgy husband) in the last month. If only she’d been as keen to hear my thoughts and actually [...]
Went to the Bill Hicks 11th Anniversary Tribute at Jongleurs in Camden last night. The evening featured stand-up sets from Mark Steel, Glen Wool, Brendon Burns, and a funny Irish comedian whose name I can’t remember for the life of me, interspersed with lots of footage of the great man performing (some well-known, some rare [...]
I finally made it up to the Apple store on Regent Street on Saturday, dragging a few friends in tow. Unfortunately I hadn’t considered the mass of students and backpackers using the shop as a free internet cafe, and consequently couldn’t get anywhere near the iBooks. After spending a while trying (and failing) to justify [...]
Went out for a bite to eat with Rob and Troy last night, and we ended up at Tandoori Nights, in Lordship Lane (recommended by Monica Ali in the Observer). Not normally the sort of thing I would bother posting here, but it was one of the best curries I’ve ever had—really and fresh and [...]
