Wonderful projections

It's a great shame that someone decided to switch the light on in the west wing about half way through.

Shoe Fetish?

It's not only the ladies that like a nice shoe. I've just bought some of these fabulous black leather George Cox shoes from the British Boot Company in Camden. The chap behind the counter told me that George Cox shoes are more popular in Japan than DMs.

These beauties will form the basis of my outfit for an upcoming 50s night that's being run in the local Village Hall. All I need now are the appropriate trousers, shirt and jacket. That shouldn't be too difficult, should it?

Queen are alive!

The new Muse album is released today and jolly good it is too. The thing that strikes me on first hearing is:

1. There are large chunks of it that could have been written by messrs Mercury and May
2. There are large chunks of it where there's so much going on, I'd swear I can hear the sound of a kitchen sink being played

Each of these points on their own would be A GOOD THING, but together they make A VERY GOOD THING.

Not sure about Twitter? This is worth a look.

Graham Linehan (Father Ted and The IT Crowd writer) is something of a star in the Twittersphere (he kicked off the #welovethenhs campaign in response to the US criticism). One of his pet gripes is the media knocking Twitter and how it's used, when they don't really understand it. He's just posted this on his blog. It's worth a look.

Jeremy Beadle lives! And he's French

Are reunion's ever a good thing?

The news that Mott the Hoople are reforming for a series of gigs leaves me cold, and I was a big fan. The same applies to the Specials reunion. I remember both these bands when they were new, fresh, glamorous and exciting. These new gigs are effectively going to be upmarket tribute shows. When will they ever learn?

The Sartorial Rule

When wearing a jacket, remember:

Top button sometimes.
Middle button always.
Bottom button never.

Whilst I've known this for some time, my thanks go to Bill Nighy who encapsulated the rule in a recent issue of the Word magazine.
