Good Friend in PR was over in London recently. As ever, it was good to see him and we had a great time in a variety of river-based locations from Chiswick to the Royal Festival Hall. However, there was a bit of grit in the oyster – in terms of his assessment of THIS VERY [...]

Good Friend in PR
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Father, Good Friend in PR, Singapore on June 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One of the chief – in fact, THE chief – delights of Singapore was catching up with Good Friend in PR. The Confucian East has done him the power of good, as has his new partner, and he is now a calmer, happier, more content man – although he has lost none of his energy, [...]
Food Snobbery

Trapped in Singapore between two “workshops”, I spent most of the weekend with Good Friend in PR and Thoughtful Financier (as his boyfriend is to be referred to henceforth), and had a great time. I even had a great time when walking around IKEA – a particularly surreal experience in Singapore – and observing the [...]
Green Things

Absolutely extraordinary. I have just come back from Singapore (which is, in itself, quite a green thing), where I had (amongst other things) two remarkable green things: the first was the finest Green Apple Martini in the world (wincingly sour, as it should be – and yours to enjoy in The Cigar Bar at the [...]
“Thank You, Singapore! Good Night!”
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Axe, Good Friend in PR, Halifax, Lynx, Noitulove, Singapore on January 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a feature of some very good, and some very bad advertising to tell the story backwards. I won’t name the bad ones (they are too numerous – and even I am not that vindictive), but the good ones include “Noitulove” and “Getting Dressed”, for Guinness and Lynx/Axe respectively. On the same principle as “If [...]
Thirteen Months – And Counting
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Good Friend in PR, London, Wife on September 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have decided that Good Friend in PR is going to re-locate to London. It is where his best friends are, near to his family and where he is (emotionally) “from”. I’m not going to be pretend that there aren’t some barriers. He lives in New York, and he’s just signed a lease on an [...]
A Landmark Night
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Good Friend in PR, Soho House, The Landmark on September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I saw Good Friend in PR for dinner, just the two of us. It wasn’t really a question of “catching up” – we’d been through each others’ news a number of times, and so this was more about spending some time together and – to use a proprietary phrase – “gadding”. Conversation ranged from his [...]
A Town For Shopping
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Acclaimed Photographer Friend, Good Friend in PR, Shopping, Soho House, Wife on September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We went to a TOWN OF SHOPS. A whole TOWN. Of SHOPS. This is Wife’s idea of town planning, and my idea of hell. I don’t mean that typical male cliche of “I can’t stand shopping, me” – but let me put the facts before you. We arrived (on a coach, which was something of [...]

Wife and I saw a lot of Good Friend in PR this trip. New York is currently is home (although I am doing what I can to change that, considering teaming up with Events Company Chairwoman to form a powerful lobby that will force his repatriation to W4) and now that he works for himself [...]
