Cyclist vigil and die-in

Yesterday Tom and I attended a protest and die-in for Claire Hitier-Abadie on Victoria Street, Westminster.  The event, organised by Stop Killing Cyclists, was a tribute and remembrance of a woman killed on a bicycle – the fourth this year in London and nationally the 19th. Starting off as a protest outside Westminster City Hall […]

An Idiot’s Guide to Politics

Yesterday I watched BBC Three’s An Idiot’s Guide to Politics and I liked it.  It showed how disengaged especially young people are.  Watch it! Jolyon Rubinstein has popped up a couple of times on my BBC programme radar and gets a thumbs-up from me.  In his interactions with the political elite, he lacks expected embarrassment, […]

Creative technology

Whilst singing the wonders of good old-fashioned toys and the harm technology may do to the creative minds, as stated in my last blog post I was dichotomising the argument and it is wholly more complex. The thoughts popped into my mind again recently.  With the birth of my cousin’s daughter (not up on the […]

Happy New Year!

Wheelchair [race] the tube

Impressive. In case you haven’t seen it. Here it is: The […]

Better late than never!  I have finally got round to editing together all of the footage I had taken during the World Naked Bike Ride in London.  It took place on Saturday 14th June which was, coincidentally, the Queen’s Birthday Parade.  My friend and I went down to London and naturally went to watch the […]

On Friday 14th June I will be riding a bicycle through central London with no clothes on. I’ll be taking part in the annual World Naked Bike Ride.  It’s a ride against oil dependency, against car culture, for the love of the body and for cycling safety. I’ll be using this as an opportunity to […]

Hello, Yesterday, Tiffany and I were invited to see the film premiere of  ‘Christmas in a Day’ in BAFTA, Piccadilly. Why were we invited?

2013-10-22 – Memory is great

Memory. I love memories. Memories of experiences throughout our lives make for great, well rounded individuals. Life needs to be full of out-there experiences and that’s what I am trying to do. It’s all fine sitting at the computer or reading something and staying inside your bubble but sometimes you need to enter the real […]

2013-05-20 – The brain is wonderful

Hello, Earlier on, I had my first exam.  Beforehand, I was ‘shitting it’.  I really thought I hadn’t retained any information.  I have spent a long time revising.  After looking at my gathered information time and time again, I just didn’t think I would remember it. As I finished, I came out into the fresh […]
