Top Ten Tuesday: Numbers between 1 and 100
Possibly the finest Top Ten I’ve ever assembled. It’s bewilderingly good.

It had to be him…
I suspect this is going to be one of those posts that begins with “I don’t normally get involved in such things, BUT…”. Hmm. OK, it would be safe to say that the recent televisual goings on involving Harry Connick Jr. in Australia have been quite well publicised, and possibly the last thing the world…
A further 15 seconds – should have about 14 minutes and 7 seconds left, according to popular belief
There’s not much more to this than blatant self-promotion – the other week our morris dancing team (that would be The Westminster Morris Men, in case this wasn’t yet abundantly clear) was filmed as part of an ITV News piece to promote the upcoming premiere of the new film, “Morris: A Life With Bells On“. …
Top Ten Tuesday: 1970s/80s British Comedians that I’ve been within 50 feet of
This is largely inspired by last night’s gig, Ade Edmonson & The Bad Shepherds – I turned to The Puzzler and said “How far do you reckon that distance is between me & Ade?”, and he said “About 50 feet?”. And almost instantly I came up with this list. And technically it was before midnight, so it’s still a Tuesday list. Alphabetical order, sort of.
Top Ten Tuesday: Monty Python Sketches
With the 40th anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus happening this week, and prompted by having spotted another similar list, I thought maybe I’d apply my brain power to the topic of which are my favourite Python sketches (thereby resulting in a far superior list). By “sketch”, I’ve sort of included pieces from the movies,…
More coffee silliness
Near work we’ve got a cafe which operates a loyalty card system. Unfortunately, as they also have a policy of employing non-native English speakers, my attempts to educate them on the subtle errors on that loyalty card have proven fruitless. Despite my repeated attempts to get my sixth coffee for free, apparently I’m only allowed…
I’m sorry, HOW MANY words? This’ll be interesting…
I’ve got a bad feeling about this… For some reason I’ve made a habit of doing silly things in the month of November. Customarily this involves ridiculous facial hair, however as I reached the zenith of human achievement in that arena last year, the hunt was on for a new challenge, and somehow I got…
Pardon me, is that an Afghan melon?
A new coffee vendor has opened up around the corner from the office. In light of the fact that Mystery Sandwich Girl has now been verified as an utterly unsuitable pursuit (she smokes, doesn’t drink, and she obsessively enjoys Dan Brown novels), and also in light of the fact that their coffee was rubbish anyway,…
Top Ten Tuesday: Pubs in London
An attempt at a list of my top ten pubs. In London, I mean. I think it was closer to twelve. Unless you count the other 20 or so listed at the bottom. Oh boy, this is tricky.
Life once again has meaning. In suit form.
Another absolutely excellent weekend judders past and highlights how much fun it’s possible to have if you really put your mind to it. Friday night I went to The Bloomsbury Theatre to see a standup gig from Al Madrigal and Janeane Garofalo. Both were in excellent form, however the crowd was really fired up for…
