Best of 2007

Happy New Year!
This time last year I posted my favourite stuff of 2006, and there’s already been a whole slew of bloggers doing the same thing for 2007. So to jump on the bandwagon, here’s my top 3 of everything…
Books
Although I’ve read quite a few books this year, most of them have been around a [...]

London Ink

On our way home from the Blog Awards, Kirsty and I saw this great installation at London Victoria Station. It’s purpose is to promote the TV Show ‘London Ink’ on Discovery Real Time and the oversize sculpture features an original tattoo on the small of her back. Click here to view the full Flickr set.

Sky+

It’s been a busy few weeks around here what with various weddings, kids playschemes and things. I’ve not really had much time to post here so apologies to regular readers!

This first one showed a 25 year old self made millionaire Ben spending 10 days in Hackney, East London.

8 Out Of 10 Cats

I was watching a bit of TV at home on Friday night and found myself laughing out loud at Nikki Graham of Big Brother fame on 8 Out Of 10 Cats. Famous for being both spoilt and self-obsessed, the bleached blonde embarrassed herself admirably in the first 10 minutes by not knowing Heather Mills-Macartney only [...]

Romance Academy

Following the excellent BBC2 Documentary “No Sex please, we’re teenagers!”, which followed 12 teenagers who took a 5 month abstinence vow, the Romance Academy has enjoyed a lot of positive press coverage. It looks like they are now planning to expand their programme outside of London, so let’s hope something similar finds it’s way to [...]
