Bonjour!
Bounjour from fair Paris! I am typing on the craziest keyboard I’ve seen yet. The fullstop is a shift-key, the q is where a is and… migods, it’s hard to type. Apologies for the lack of updates; there hasn’t exactly been a wealth of bloggable stories to put up, and there’s only so many times […]

Hamster in Hospital; UK news goes beserk
In case you haven’t heard, Richard ‘Hamster’ Hammond (presenter of Top Gear) is in hospital with a brain injury after a stunt went wrong; what you probably haven’t seen is how beserk the UK news desks have gone over this story. Slow news week, possibly.

two one
This is supposed to be “the big one”… but stuffed if I know why. 15, 18, 20, they felt big. This one…? Well, I’m in London. I’m on an expenses-paid trip. It’s 5 o’clock. I have some great friends who want to take me out. It’s about as big as it will ever get, I’d […]

London Calling
After a day of moving through the slow jelly air of jet lag, and oppressed by the flat, grey, dreary, windy, drizzly skies of London (there’s a reason why Melbourne’s weather is compared to London’s; it’s quite clear to me now)… I woke this morning semi-refreshed and ready to go… sort of. It wasn’t looking […]
