      • Cork in a hurry
        05/31/2007
        If you have ever wondered in which environment cork is likely to move at the greatest velocity (I confess, this had vexed me greatly until now), it is not in a bottle of Bollinger on a club class airliner, but on the tables of Bar Kick in Shoreditch.


        This is where I took part in a

      • It's a lock-in
        05/31/2007
        Oh, this is both true and good. Let it never happen to you.

        I share my flat with a kind, considerate and tidy young woman. In all the time she has lived here, her behaviour has been exemplary, and it is often I who is in the housework doghouse.
        Last night, she went out for her leavin

        I perhaps feed off meagre victories, but I am pleased to report, ahead of schedule, that May has witnessed this site receiving over 100 unique visitors every day. Considering it was 8 visits a day when I started it 10 months ago, this is quite a satisfying achievement.

        They've got to get one of these North London traffic wardens onto the apprentice one of these days. I have never seen such money-making ambition or cheek in my life.
        If you are reading this, and owner of a sporty-looking Astra registration T323 CBK, your car has regrettably ha

      • Lord of the wedding ring
        05/19/2007


        There's nothing that quite brings you close to an impending wedding date as seeing your ring take shape in a molten glob before your eyes.
        Rather than go to Elizabeth Duke or Ratners, we have opted to get our rings made by a lovely fellow called Michael Jung, based in a small

        Did you know that the average human spends a total of 26 days of their life waiting for people who are habitually late?
        Actually, I made that up, but I needed to get off to a brisk start on this one.
        The following advice may work, or it may just fall flat on its face and make you deeply un

        I encountered the bag of peanuts pictured above in a supermarket today.
        What bowls me over here is that this is possibly the most surreal piece of food labelling I have ever come across. I mean, whilst most food manufacturers would content themselves with putting an image of some p

      • Sexy security
        05/10/2007
        I'm going to stay on flying here.
        The way things used to be, you had to remove a jacket when you went through security.
        Then, two years ago, they decided to stipulate that you had to remove your belt.
        This year, the latest item of clothing you have to remove is your shoes.

        This week's Crap Airline Sandwich Award goes once again to Lufthansa, an organisation that has yet to work out that sometimes it's worse to do something badly than it is to not do it at all.

      • Daft musing of the day
        05/09/2007
        I've become mildly fascinated with this stuff that they call 'climb-proof paint' that one sees coating lamp-posts and road sign supports. What exactly is climb-proof paint and how does it work? It looks like a sort of rough, textured grippy thing, not greasy in the slightest, and were

        Captured in Cricklewood, here is a delightful vignette of picture-perfect Britain, redolent of all of the qualities that give us our unique island atmosphere.
        The British seem content with sitting back and almost revelling in the jaw-droppingly depressing surroundings that we sometimesli
