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...

I woke up this morning ready, able and willing to support England’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup. Today marks the 100  days point  until FIFA choose, which country is going to have the honour and privilege of hosting the world cup in 8 years time. Earlier on this morning I was out and about...

The day had finally arrived for the legendary Scottish based London blogger William K Wallace to meet the African Princess in a game of table tennis. At precisely 11am on Saturday 21 August at Queens Park in North West London…the game was on. At various locations all over the crazy city of London...

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...

What a crazy sounding combination..me yours truly William K Wallace the Wandering Scotsman, four cans of Becks Vier, a huge bag of groundnuts all the way from Botswana, my favourite selection of tunes from the past 40 years and some serious chilling out in the epicentre of the world Kilburn, London. Last...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...
