Direction undetermined

Back in London and dealing with issues about what to do next. It’s easy to say that certain things are beyond my control but I’ve come to the conclusion that this is no excuse for inactivity. 
Definitely time to start earning. Off to LSE for talk by the BBC’s former North America editor Justin Webb for [...]

Eden (the one with the huge gold dome) is home to uber cool nights like Reclaim the Dancefloor, clubbing institutions like Judgement Sundays as well as parties [...]

The London review of bookshops

Where do you go when you’ve got a few hours to kill, when you’re fed up of being in your own house but it’s not quite the occasion to head down to the pub?

Procrastination

Sorry for the dearth of content. I have lots of things to say but don’t seem to have found the time to post.

So funny. First heard this on Dev’s show on 1Xtra yesterday morning but it wasn’t until I saw the video posted on the Guardian’s viral video chart that I realised just how funny this is.
