• Fingerless gloves

  I’ve seen a few people wearing fingerless gloves this season. It is bitterly cold at the moment – at or below freezing – so most people are bedecked in scarves, gloves, hats and winter boots. I don’t have a hat but I’m ...

  A food processor. I have a ‘mini’ food processor, great for small, jobs, but for the (same) dishes I always make, I actually need something bigger. I want a 32″ flatscreen TV that is 1080p / HD. My current TV is 7 years old (it̵...

  This blog entry was written on 21 December 2008 and for whatever reason, was never published. Picture: Aquascutum, London (autumn/winter collection 2008) Strangely, I miss wearing a suit to work. For the past 8 years I’ve worn a suit practical...

  Last month I was invited on to the Amazon Vine programme. If you’re not sure what it is (I certainly had no clue what it was)… http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/vine/help It’s basically a marketing initiative that Amazon runs in conjuncti...

• Superheroes!

  I’ve always loved superheroes. And leopards don’t change their spots. Bought some of the Marvel Super Hero Squad from ToysRUs. Call me geeky but I like having them on shelves and windowsills. Hulk Wasp Apocalypse Wolverine Iceman Blo...

  I don’t watch a massive amount of TV but what I do watch can sometimes be considered a little niche. I watch a lot of documentaries – especially stuff on BBC4 which is probably my favourite channel (though most people don’t watch it...

• Cry wolf

  Posted on Monday June 8th, 2009 at 14:28 in Photography, shopping, comics, wolverine, marvel, fcuk, french connection

  Bought today. Bit of an impulse purchase it has to be said. I’m generally speaking no big fan of FCUK. But their size medium marvel comic t-shirts fit really well and I’m quite partial to them. They had lots of good Wolverine designs. I a...

  Astro Boy is the mascot for this blog and one needn’t pay masses of attention to see the figure appearing in various places - avatar, photos on flickr, etc, etc. I am a big Japan fan (having lived there) and have a lot of time for most things J...

  Posted on Tuesday February 17th, 2009 at 15:15 in Photography, shopping, London, movies & films

  I ended up in Leicester Square last night whilst wandering to my final destination (Lillywhites, the sports emporium in Piccadilly). Usual brohaha generated by far, far too many people, the vast majority of whom are tourists. There was also a film pr...
