      • Burning up on re-entry
        01/28/2007

        It's only fitting that I should follow up an article about someone leaving these shores with a tale of the experience of trying to get into the UK.
        Normally, when you see a large queue outside somewhere, like a club or a restaurant, it's a good sign, indicating that it's re

        HELLO! magazine missed out on an unforgettable special edition here. To mark the occasion of Global Style Icon Victoria Beckham's departure from these shores, they should have created a limitied edition entitled: GOODBYE!
        What with glamour model Jordan fully signed up with rival OK!

        Do not go near one of these things. If you have even a remotely addictive personality, you will find yourself drawn to it like a bad itch. I am unfortunate enough to work in an office where there is one of these a few metres away.
        Every evening, when I should really be thinking of

        What you see here is not from some healthy eating catalogue. This lot turned up on my doorstep this morning in an anonymous brown box. A box pretty much filled with organic fruit and veg straight from some farm somewhere in the country.
        If you want to put one in the eye of packagin

        This is a view of the docks in my second city - Hamburg. Taken from the Michel Church, it shows the dockside, the cranes, and the thousands of containers nestled in the background.
        And within these docks a monster lurks...

        I took this photograph whilst emerging from one of those semi-swanky Soho bars where a single gin and tonic sets you back the price of a side of salmon. The optimistic arty effect has been completely cancelled-out by the effect of booze on my camera technique. Nothing ventured...

        01/15/2007

        OK, I work in advertising, so I should show you some decent ads now and again. I really really like this take-off of MTV's Pimp My Ride. It's just been put on YouTube, and shows how advertising changes - traditional 'push' advertising forces itself on the consumer, whilst

        The Germans can't quite seem to get enough of the Royals, and I can't quite work out why. It could be that Saxe Coburg bloodline, it could be the staggeringly dull politics in the Bundestag, or it could be the reassuring knowledge that the German taxpayer doesn't pay a single Euro to

        I've worked late tonight, and in order to compensate for a week of healthy eating, I joined a couple of colleagues in a large order of Dominos' finest.
        This event would pass without notice if I hadn't ordered something that has just crashed my digestive system. Basically, do not

        I read in the paper today that only about one in twenty Britons plans to do anything about the environment this year. And, also that Tony Blair says that climate change should be "left to the experts".

        Well, actually Tony's very wrong here. It's down to you, ac

      • Welsh pride
        01/07/2007
        I was watching German TV recently and saw a travel programme on a place called Wales, located just off the edge of Great Britain. The way that the programme viewed Wales through the eyes of a total outsider suddenly made it irresistible - like a sort of green, untouched, mini-New Zealand just west o

        This is a close-up of our daughter Ruby, who is turning from a baby into a little girl, day by day. This week, she will be 100 days old. The movements, smiles and sounds are less random, and the sense of touch, sight and sound are more important to her. She now decides what she finds funny, an

        I was particularly disturbed to hear about the little girl mauled to death by the pitbull on Merseyside - I enjoy looking to the news with a cynical eye, but this is just upsetting.
        The story made me and probably millions of others think about the dog and what drove it to the deed. The pitbull

        We spent new year's eve indoors this year. It was just me, Mayke, Ruby and some friends from around the world - Mexican food, Spanish Cava, German beer and television scenes beamed from Honolulu to Helsinki.
        Even if we had wanted to go outdoors, I don't think it would have been possi
