One of the things I missed on our return from the mother country to the penal colony is the quality of the radio. A particular favourite of SWMBO and I is the master of the microphone and genius broadcaster Mr Danny Baker. The Candyman’s breakfast show on BBC Radio London was the listening highlight of …

Did I Mention That I’ve Got A New Job?
This is not me. Honest. I gave up smoking seven years ago.
New Job
I started my new job this week. Details are on my other blog here. That will have to do for now. I’m too tired after a week of information overload.
Insane Clothing

All I want for Christmas
If you are stuck for a Christmas present for me (and you shouldn’t be) can I suggest a t-shirt. You can’t go past the quality wearables from RedMolotov.com. Can I suggest this one, this one or failing that buy me this one and I’ll be your best friend forever.
