I’ve just noticed that Charity Shop Tourism is celebrating its first blogday this week. To celebrate, I’ve posted a top ten of the best charity shops I’ve visited this year, and tomorrow I’ll do a top ten of the best towns I’ve been to: that covers the Charity Shop and the Tourism bit, then. Do [...]

Minor Delays – a short story for each tube station? Delightful
Fresh Eyes On London – sometimes it’s nice to have a noobie to refresh ones wonderment with the capital. Or a snow day.
London Reconnections [...]

I’ve vented my spleen at a different location today – I’ve had a whinge about the ‘get Jeff Buckley to number one campaign’ at No Ripcord. I think I’m getting old – I’m losing my black-and-white view of the world and starting to see some sort of multi-hued version. Maybe I’m just evolving into a postmodernist [...]

2) I’m keeping track and maps of my cycling on my Tumblr, so you can see how slowly I’m progressing – come along and buck me up.
3) I [...]

I’ve added some more links on the right there, I suggest you go a-roaming.
Faith & Theology - quite a lot more than its title suggests, Ben Myers also has an excellent taste in music (think Tom Waits, whom we all love)
Futility Closet - full of random facts, quotes, games and puzzles. Is therefore a fantastic way to [...]

I’ve been writing this blog now for several years, and was doing a different one before that, and for reasons previously discussed, have retained that mild dose of social misanthropy when it comes to internet correspondence. For that reason, I rarely comment on others’ blogs, and I rarely cross-link in the same way that others [...]

Generally speaking, if i fin something interesting my automatic response is to start a new blog about it. Music? I’m interested. I got a pedometer: I’m interested. Everything else? I’m interested. And so it is today.
My new best hobby is charity shop tourism, and if you want to know what I did over the weekend [...]

I’m trying out Twittr, as can be ascertained by the distinctly failed widget on the right. Hopefully by the time you read this, that’ll be sorted. I wouldn’t bother much with the del.icio.us link though, I’m not using much of that. In the meantime, check me oot.
I think I kind of like Twittr. It is [...]

Just adding some old mp3-blogging chums…
Fil at Pogo a-gogo is a former Anglophile, now Canadophile (is that even a thing?). He has fine taste in olde-worlde punk, if nothing else.
Fancy some Field Mice and related sad indie? Then Colin has been your man for years: currently he resides at And Before The First Kiss.
Dalston Oxfam [...]
