I ask you – is there ANYTHING Marmite's sweet, sophisticated, seductive flavour cannot improve?
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but surely we can set the bar a little higher than this as a society. Can't we? #iagreeitsnuts
It's that fine line between "joyous" and "frigging annoying".
Finally. A beer made with the tasty flavour of ham. Because pork was that final missing ingredient. #idontevenknowwhatsgoingonanymore
A moment in time
I’ve come to value this blog not only as a means of communicating ideas and information to the thousands of regular readers* but also as a sort of time capsule for looking back at what was happening in the past (and I’ve been at this since about 2003!). So this …

2020 – The Year There Was Pretty Much Fuck All Else To Do But Watch Telly
How about that lung-eating virus that kept us all at home all year, eh? It’s normal for me at this time of year to feel some sort of urge to write an “end of year roundup” post about all the stuff I’ve done, in a sort of nod towards the …
Whilst taking the recycling out the other night I noticed these ice patterns on the cars. So instead of going inside, I stood out there freezing my gonads off to take photos cos I thought other people might find it interesting.It reminded me of the poncy 1930s Artexing on our loungeroom ceiling – or possibly the etched glass screens of an old Victorian gin Palace like The Argyll Arms or The Salisbury. Only freezing.
Who the hell is Jason B. Standing?
Since throwing caution to the wind and moving from Adelaide to London in 2004, Jason has totally embraced his passions of travelling, going to live music & comedy gigs, appreciating ludicrously tasty whisky, and t-shirts. Mmmmm… t-shirts…
Around 2014ish he packed up and went West, throwing down new roots in the throbbing city of Bristol, where he now lives with his wonderful wife, and the finest labrador in history: Larry B Standing.
Professionally he’s in the software development business, and occupies his spare time doing pretty much anything that comes up in conversation & looks interesting. He is really impressed by people who do science (properly).
