Time Is Money So They Say
Time is money…money is time…but what if you don’t have any time left, what happens to all the money? And as we all know at some point in our existences hear on earth as human beings, time runs out on us all one day… Today was of course Notting Hill Carnival and whilst I was there...

How To Open A Bottle Of Beer Without A Bottle Opener

How To Open A Bottle Of Beer Without A Bottle Opener
How to open a bottle of beer without a bottle opener is not really something that  I have had to deal with before, until last night when the problem was staring me straight in my face. Why didn’t they teach me useful stuff when I was in the Boy Scouts? Last night just as Big Ben was announcing...

Sherlock Holmes 221B Baker Street
Sherlock Holmes has been reborn in the 21st century courtesy of BBC1. Last night I watched a fairly new series simply called ‘Sherlock‘ and I was hugely impressed by it. After watching just one episode I feel it could go onto to become a classic. Sherlock Holmes the fictional detective who...

I Miss The Sun, Sand, Sea, Sunsets and Boogie Boarding

I Miss The Sun, Sand, Sea, Sunsets and Boogie Boarding
Last night over a few beers in a fantastic London pub, which I refuse to name, because it is truly a hidden gem of a place – the lager is as good as it gets, its a fantastically comfortable place to unwind, it is never ram packed full of people and there is more…the jukebox box is full of...

During my many holidays in Barbados and my 9 months living there I developed a real taste for roasted breadfruit. And best of all where I was staying  we had a breadfruit tree in the garden, so all I had to do was reach up and grab one any time I was in need of  a wee treat. Just like I could do with...

What You Think, You Can Become

What You Think, You Can Become
Mohandas Gandhi was revered for his wisdom. A great man of undoubted vision, who longed for a world of peace and unity. If only the world wasn’t controlled by crazy men, power mad men, religious leaders, blind politicians and business men who profit from ensuring that peace will never exist in...

Mad Man On The Roof

Mad Man On The Roof
I was wandering down Kilburn High Road last night heading home, after an enjoyable evening at the Courvoisier The Future 500 event, when I noticed in the distance what looked like a mad man on the roof of a bus shelter. I was feeling sober, but then I thought maybe those Courvoisier drinks that I had...

My Garden Was Invaded By London Drunks

My Garden Was Invaded By London Drunks
Yesterday evening I was out and about having a wee stroll in my garden…well not quite my own garden. I share it with a few thousand dead people and whoever else wanders in. As most of my regular readers will know I’m referring to Paddington Old Cemetery. A place I go to for some fresh air,...
