We interrupt this broadcast for an important message

A brand new British website, Goodtoknow, has just published the secrets of sex positions for your fat days! Where, oh where, would we be without the interweb?

OK, that was a test

but maybe blabla is the right commentary for this. blabla blabla (Thanks to Chef Sandwich for this)

Not with a bang but a pop

Not with a bang but a pop

So Christmas dinner was delightfully simple this year – bit of gammon, cucumber salad, sweet and tangy mustard, followed by Lindt’s new Tiramisu chocolate (which tastes suspiciously of tiramisu). Also, the whole thing didn’t take much longer than for us to pop a bottle of bubbles and empty its contents. (As far as I’m concerned, [...]

Who is the smushiest of them all?

Who is the smushiest of them all?

Continuing the pretend theme, I forgot to mention that our smushi dinner the other night culminated in a rare sighting – and tasting – of a quartet of petit fours from the esteemed Fat Duck in Bray (that’s in INGLAN). There was a playing card, which looked just like a Queen of Hearts, but which [...]

If Gollum were a popstar…

If Gollum were a popstar…

I think he would look something like Michael Jackson in This Is It. We finally watched this fascinating and bizarre film, and when I wasn’t happily grooving along to the beat (I loved this man as a teenager, and still think Billie Jean is one of the best songs EVAH), I was struck by how [...]

Green green grass

So I’ve just experienced my first Thanksgiving. Admittedly an untraditional one, as there was no turkey bird on the table. But we did feast on these two headless chickens after they perched on soda cans filled with beer (and other secret ingredients) for a good couple of hours on the barbie/bbq/braai (during which time they [...]

More illusions of grandeur

More illusions of grandeur

Vegas is hard. Too much to do. Too little time. Too little money. Too little sleep. Too many (beloved, evil) slot machines. You have to keep up with a crazy city built on illusions, some of which come in the form of being constantly accosted on the streets by people trying to entice you with [...]

Human again

Human again

There is a very particular kind of pleasure attached to arriving at a destination, particularly after sitting on your arse for thirty hours to get there. Imagine, then, that the destination is Las Vegas, and that the pleasure of being able to walk again is complemented by an arrival hall that makes no mistake about [...]
