Best Friend has decided that we need to start planning my fortieth birthday party NOW. She is giving herself roughly eighteen months to get it done, which I think is going to be ample as really, my idea of a good party is family and friends all in a warm space wherein we can hear [...]

Armed with the new satellite navigation thing that Wife gave me for Christmas (in the knowledge that I could get lost in a cardboard box), we all set off to see Best Friend and Talented Art Director with Monkey Arms for lunch today. We managed to make a brief (three hours) and not financially ruinous [...]
Farewells – One Fond, One Not So Fond

I am loathe to use the term “Annus Horribilis” – primarily because I always try to avoid using terms popularised by in-bred, German midget bigots, but also because it has become such a cliche – but, I will be so glad to see the end of this year. With the exception of Sister’s and Best [...]
Underground Rebel Bingo

I cannot describe the joyousness of my Saturday night out in Clerkenwell with Best Friend, Talented Advertising Creative, Clever Monkey, Insanely Appropriate Monkey and Oh Yeah We Worked Together. The venue, the occasion, the pastime was “Underground Rebel Bingo” – as silly, fun, full throttle and brilliant a night out as I have had in [...]

A branch of Waitrose has opened on Chiswick High Road – and the ensuing excitement of the well-heeled residents of this marvellous place is exhilarating to behold. Thrill as they stare excitedly at the cheese counter! Smile indulgently as they devour the contents of the patisserie with their eyes! Gurgle as they wonder at [...]
“But I KNOW he meant “Vagina”.”

There is a spring in my step today, as I met up with Best Friend. Heavily pregnant now (due in four weeks) she is finding being “A Preggo” (and nothing else, apparently) deeply irritating: never more so than when the conversation inevitably (it would seem) moves on to stories of the actual birth, when no [...]
Landing Cafe Vagina in AMET
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Best Friend, Cafe Vagina on August 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Exciting news on Cafe Vagina: it looks like the franchise could go global, and that more and more regions are crying out for the unique perspective on vaginally-themed coffee and refreshments that Cafe Vagina offers to today’s jaded consumer. Any franchise is going to have difficulty in flexing its core offering to suit the pressing [...]
Best Friend Pulls The Pin

“You do that once more and I’m going to punch you in the ovaries, Straight in the babymaker.” So the great Will Ferrell announces to his female Nemesis in the comedy masterpiece that is “Anchorman” – and so a lunch date with Best Friend always ends, as she tries to scrabble for the bill and [...]
Things One Shouldn’t Say

The first is relatively easy to deal with: “Wall-E” is shit. It’s over-length, smug and a masturbatory piece of indulgence from some (phenomenally talented animators). Of course there is some welcome sourness to the picture it paints of modern America – but that doesn’t excuse the self-indulgence of much of it. Wife and I were [...]
