In local news, 11 people are right now inside the court buildings and about to be charged with conspiracy to murder in connection with an alleged plot to bomb transatlantic flights. The Pimlico branch office here has been buzzed by helicopters all morning, so when I had a little slot in my schedule, I wandered…
David has just published the video interviews he grabbed from people in Hyde Park last Wednesday. Really interesting stuff here from a variety (though all male 😛 ) of perspectives, but of course you’ll be most interested (NOT!) to hear what inarticulate nonsense I came up with. God, the park looks dry! Hopefully the last…
Perfect Path Pimlico Branch Office – SW1P 4NY Hey dig the cool virtual earth map that I get to insert easily when I use Windows Live Writer (Beta). It’s a bit fiddly working out how to make it right-align and get my text to flow on the left as I’ve become accustomed to… but I’m…
Peter joined YouTube 5 days ago and is this week’s number #1 for subscriptions (#31 of all time, so far). He’s 78 years old and talks simply and beautifully from his armchair “in the middle of the UK” about his life and what he thinks. This one is his latest and most touching – he’s…
Had lovely lunch with lovely Suw today. She reminded me of lots of things I’ve seen in passing and not delved into for a while, but I was particularly taken with the Odeo voice messaging service which you can now see on the sidebar. Talk to me. Leave me a message and I’ll aggregate them…
Steve Originally uploaded by Lloyd Davis. A bunch of us sat around in a loosely self-organised way in a tinder-dry corner of Hyde Park to start talking about what might happen in London (and the rest of Britain) in 2012 from a cultural perspective other than sport. I had to leave just as the conversation…
Well the newly formed Pimlico Institute for Stormhoek Studies (PISS) is now open for business and we present our first video – Let’s Go Mento – amazing, but dangerous stuff. Customer Safety Warning: This experiment combines ordinary products in an extraordinary way. Do NOT try this at home, unless a) you’re extremely rich and can…
hilaryous Originally uploaded by Lloyd Davis. OK, so something weird happened the other day. I cut my hair myself – I know that you know this… after all it’s obvious that I’m a self-cut man. Oh god, I don’t like the way this one’s going. Ahem. So I had my clippers out and was using…
Lebanese flag Originally uploaded by nic0. Well, the blogs back. But looking at the news this morning puts the mere missingness of my website in perspective. Via Alex Itin I’ve been listening this morning to the music of Marcel Khalife the Lebanese Oud (lute) player. Listen and pray for peace.
I got an invite to this from Alison. Very hush hush and exclusive – secret location in W1 – cross my heart and hope to die if I tell you anything about it at all other than that about twenty effortlessly stylish (ok, one or two, not so effortless) young things from London’s fashion world…
