Is three days into December too early to turn Grinch? By jingo Christmas has come early this year! According to Tesco it started coming in October. By December the 1st I was worried and now 3 days in I've had enough. Its cold and I'm miserable.High streets have been light up like Heathrow's 3rd run way, adverts all play Slade (possibly the worst song EVER) and people in my work place have donned the classic Santa hat. How droll. Kill me. Kill me quickly.Don't get me wro... Read Full Story

Looking over photos from a year ago I can always pick out clothes that I no longer have. I don't know how or why I no longer have said articles of clothing. They aren't in the washing basket, in the cupboard, under the bed, in a draw and I'm not currently wearing them under my other clothes. So where are they?I have come to the conclusion that I must be a sleep walking super hero. Its obvious. I run to the nearest phone booth in my sleep and shed ever garment I own to return home...

Number 1.Kanye West's 808 & Heartbreak. Serving suggestions: take your peace and quiet and mix it up with a large dose of volume. Turn your iPod to stun and play starting from track one. Finish up on track 12 which is the live bonus one. Serves up to everyone who likes dance fusion hip hop with an R&B flavour.For those who like Jean Michael Jarre you are on to a winner. For those who like Gold Digger - less so. Pretty "arty". Less Gucci more Gauguin.I must admit that I... Read Full Story

I consider myself to be a pretty serious gym goer. You know the type. I bring my own gym gloves and my own look of steely determination. It drives away the red mists of rage keeping me both sane in the membrane and sane in the brain. I like to consider myself a “gym guy” most mornings. You know, the guy who looks like he deserves to be there gurning nonchalantly at his own reflection in the big mirrors at the end. The other day mid way through the gun show, my gym nemesis shows up. This fella... Read Full Story

Brick Lane - one of London's most famous art and fashion districts continues to impress passers by with its ever changing street art. This week I think I should highlight three of the main pieces that caught my eye.The first is a massively simple stencil graffiti of a toaster. Simple yet stylees. The second is a fantastically detailed spray can stencil piece. Much more detailed and very intricate. The third was more of a thinking piece. At first I couldn't tell if it was a tram...

It disturbs me that every time a man of the cloth - religious type not haberdasher - is in the news these days its because they have ended up in court or jail or hospital. Reading an article about a Vicar who mysteriously fell upon a potato whilst cleaning was teh highlight of my last Friday. The fact he happened to be naked was what made me chortle. Mr Potato Head ended up in his Garden of Eden. He must have loved it! The potato that is. I'm surprised it didn't take root. The fact is... Read Full Story

London, England. Mr West graces the city's premier venue with the first leg of his Glow In The Dark Tour. Boom - flashing lights, lights, lights... There is no doubt in any mind present or in the process of being blown well and truly away that Kanye is a performer. Not just a rapper, or singer, or musician. An Entertainer. A true Performer. Heck I'm gonna say it - one of the greatest performers out there.Even as a one man whirlwind - dodging flames, darting through light shows a... Read Full Story

Is it possible to get high from cake? If so - then man I am messed up.Earlier today I had a chunk of Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake. Thomas is blue - so the icing is blue too. You see if the icing was green or something then it wouldn't be Thomas would it? It would be Percy or maybe Trevor. But no, this cake was Blue man. Blue like blue stuff which stays blue for like forever. Deep. Yeah like deep blue. . . Trippy. In nature the most natural of natures naturality is blue. L... Read Full Story

As a child I was never fond of race cars. They were fast - I was not. They were red - I hate red. They were flashy - I wore blue glasses for educational purposes. Diggers, dump trucks and 4X4s is where it was at. Vrooooom just couldn't compare with VVRRRUUUUUMMMMM. Now as an "adult" I still get all excited seeing diggers and dump trucks. A warm sense of comfort from being in their presence. But I want to know which is better? What would I rather be? A digger or a dump tr... Read Full Story

Read all about it!! The American Elections are upon us!! As nations separated by 8 hours of flight why in the world do we care so much about this Barack Obama / John McCain battle? One guy sounds like Mr T from the A Team and the other is a Die Hard oven chip. If Germany was having an election no one would have a clue who was running and they're the ones to keep an eye on if history has taught us anything. It isn't even a question of the UK being affected or effected (or possibly bot... Read Full Story
