Not normally one to comment on politics, but the London mayoral election race just seems so much closer than it ought to. I mean. Really. Boris Johnson? As mayor? For real? Is anyone really going to vote for him? With that hair?
Johnson vs Livingstone: it’s now on a knife-edge
Stop Boris
If you’ve a spare tenner next weekend get your ass along to The Factory theatre company’s Hamlet. It takes place in a different London venue each week with cast members playing different characters. There are no props other than those provided by the audience, which on my visit yesterday included a barbie doll, sponge, mop, […]
Here are a few things I’ve been listening to so far this year - I’m on the look out for some new aural stimulation, and trusty last.fm recommendations can only go so far before you need a bit of good old word-of-blog, so if you have a minute let me know what’s been floating your […]
Like some deep-sea creature, originally uploaded by minor9th.
Wandered up to Primrose Hill to watch some good old Guy Fawkes remberance last night - not expecting a display up there, but hoping to get a good vantage point over the rest of the London’s displays.

I’m no artist, and design is not my thing (this site is testament to that), but in the craze over the 2012 olympics logo (which looks like our old patio on speed), people might overlook the fact that the London 2012 landing page is even worse. It’s a complete horror featuring an eye-bleeding swatch of […]
Straight men of the world: do you listen to Cyndi Lauper at full volume on the tube? Do you just want to have fun? You big Girl?
23°C in Ealing today, so the first 99 of the year was consumed.
Things I noticed whilst buying my sugar high:
A medium 99 with a flake and a little bit of strawberry goop now costs £1.60.
Ice cream men all look the same: curly mullet and massive hands.
Strawberry goop still not on sale as a delicious treat […]
In true grown-up-before-our-time fashion, us Ealing folk have been regularly partaking in a local pub quiz under the genius name of Crouching Woman, Hidden Cucumber for nearly a year. It mainly entails us ending up with a middling score (apart from weeks when there are questions on The Wizard of Oz) and listening to the […]
Sinister trees in Walpole Park, on Flickr.
According to Robyn, “floompchk” is officially the sound that snow makes underfoot.
Kinky.
