Works in Progress Update
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010I realised I’d not posted a progress report on any of my writing for ages. Its far too easy to update twitter and forget to mention stuff here. I finished a completely rewritten draft of the Role Playing Game that’s been occupying a lot of my writing time for the last year. The plan was […]
Nottingham Contemporary
Saturday, October 2nd, 2010I went to Nottingham Contemporary on the second leg of my holiday. The building is very striking. The Diane Arbus and Gert and Uwe Tobias exhibitions were both interesting. What I really liked was the Small Collections Room. Changing collections in four cabinets with draws filled with art that you can open and discover whats […]
impworks FollowFriday Poll
Thursday, September 30th, 2010I’ve been wondering about how often I do #followfriday on my twitter feed. Partly because one follower DM’d me that I don’t do them often enough and another complained last time I did one because I flooded their stream. So responding to the huge public interest on this burning issue of national interest I thought […]
The Design Museum London
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010I’m a bit late posting a picture today because I’ve been trying to decide which one to use. I took myself off to London last week for a few days and during the day went a little bit crazy and took quite a few pictures. I wanted to use one of the Design Museum as […]

Yes, Prime Minister
Sunday, September 26th, 2010I went to see Yes, Prime Minister at the Gielgud Theatre in London on the 18th September. It’s a gentle re-imagining of the original rather than a rerun with a different cast, it’s not as radical in its re-imagining as say Battlestar Galactica (thankfully Bernard hasn’t done a Starbuck). However the changes aren’t just the […]
Chinese Lion Liverpool
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010A photograph of one of the Chinese lions around Liverpool’s Chinatown. This one stands under the Chinese gate I posted a picture of a few weeks ago.
Stephen Fry at the Royal Albert Hall Review
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010I saw the most astonishing arse today. No stop it. I don’t normally comment on such things. I’m a gentleman who keeps such thought private while others utter them without the aid of a quantity of strong drink. Stay with me a little there is a point to all this. It might even relate to […]
Fish Contains Fish Shock!
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010I had this Mackerel from M&S for my dinner. Having not cooked Mackerel before I checked the instructions. I couldn’t help noticing the information on the back… I know they have to be complete but I’d be more worried if Mackerel didn’t contain fish. Still it was very nice and I’m sure if they had […]
