Life has been pretty good recently, settled in London, job going great and generally just enjoying myself. But despite all that I still come across proper issues on a daily basis, you know what I mean… things that really inconvenient your day and make you think ‘why god, why me??’ So instead of suffering in silence I thought I would share these issues with the wider world and what better way than doing that than [...]

Recently I have been listening a lot to an EP by Daughter called His Young Heart, so I though I would give it a quick review. Daughter a London based singer song writer or Elena Tonra as she was named by her parents,  released the EP His Young Heart which contains 4 stunning tracks that are held together with the simplicity of Elanas haunting vocal and her mellow and intricate guitar. The mood of the [...]

A couple of weeks back the misses and I decided to do something a little bit different with our Friday night so we headed off to Late Night London Zoo! I have been to London Zoo before many moons ago so the memory was some what faded, so I was genuinely looking forward to the trip. I suppose the first question that I get asked is what’s so good about Late Night London Zoo compared [...]

Before family or friends read this and get excited I just want to put the record straight, I’M NOT GETTING MARRIED! However it must be wedding season as I have seen some very good wedding proposals recently doing the rounds on Youtube. Seriously these guys have gone above and beyond what I think is necessary and they are giving the average man a bad name! Gone are the days where you ask her old man [...]

It was that time of year again on Sunday where self restraint goes out of the window and I see if I can eat my weight in ice cream! Having text a friend earlier in the day to find out what my ice cream target was as he went to the Ben & Jerry’s Festival on the Saturday, my challenge was duely set! All I had to do was eat 10 ice creams to come [...]

Not so long ago it was the misses birthday so as a present I took her to see the critically acclaimed Wicked The Musical. The show is based on the novel created by Gregory Maguire and uses the same characters that we all know and love from L Frank Baum’s – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Without giving anything away the story focuses on two friends Glinda the Good Witch of the North and Elphaba [...]

Earlier in the week I had what can only be described as an epic battle of wits with a banana. I wanted to get into the banana and eat it, however the banana had other ideas and wouldn’t let me in! After some toing and froing I eventually won so I think we can safely say Man 1 – Bananas 0 After I bragged a little bit on Twitter about my accomplishment of the day [...]

It’s just over 2 months ago that I moved to London and I wanted to let you know my initial thoughts on living in the big smoke. I must admit I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far, maybe it’s because I’m in the honeymoon period but all the things that people tell you about the tube being a nightmare, Londoners being miserable bastards and every other person wants to shoot, knife or rob you seems [...]

I have waited for a long time for the amazing Bon Iver to release a new album and judging by the pre release of the song Calgary which is from his self titled second album it has been well worth the wait!!! Calgary for my mind is not that far removed from the sound we have come to know and love from Bon Iver, the soulful undertones and his haunting voice come together to produce [...]
