It’s the weekend – a holiday weekend in the UK, no less – so the proper daily posting schedule on the new blog won’t start until Monday, after I’ve finished testing, making sure nothing looks too shit in Internet Explorer (are we still doing that?) and all that jazz.
But, between the time I rolled in [...]

Oh, you noticed.
Welcome, then, to BNTTP: OBOANMH – a new blog with a new and much more exciting purpose. Here’s the elevator explanation…
I’ve been blogging in various formats since – Jesus – 2001, before it was even called blogging, but always in an unfocussed and unstructured way. When I could be arsed, basically.
But then things [...]

Tonight is my last night in London before I leave for the mountains of Spain and six weeks of work, rest, work, play and work.
But before I go, and as I sit in this ridiculously huge three-room upgrade suite in Bloomsbury (£70 a night, for cash and winning charm), digesting the last of my Deliverance [...]

I promised that I’d post the email I received from the Clift in response to this.
I’m not sure who tipped them off to the blog (and the opening to the second paragraph is obviously bollocks, but I’m a sucker for that shit) but clearly what I wrote hit a nerve.
So here’s their email, and [...]

You’ll continue to forgive me – thank me, perhaps – for light blogging until Monday.
I’m busy putting various things in to place before I embark on stage two of my semi-permanent technomadic experiment. I’ve spent the last hour repairing my trusty maroon suitcase with my equally trusty Leatherman – and I’ve just received the first [...]

Hot on the heels of last week’s B.I.F.O.P., the first part of a new feature I’m calling ‘Paul Can’t Be Arsed To Post Anything Today So Does A Stupid Card Trick Instead, Tuesday’. The rules are simple…

More next time!
(Update: As requested by Emma – version two, in a format that can be frame-by-framed. Pft.)

Flicking, belatedly, through the current issue of Wired, I stumbled across The Human Giant’s guide to The Next Web-to-TV Stars.
The idea of the piece is simple: comedy web-to-TV cross-over stars, Human Giant predict the comedy web-to-TV stars of the future.
It’s an interesting enough list, although the implied premise – that these are shows that TV [...]

Now officially the most expensive city in the world, according to the current issue of Newsweek, and with an old Etonian as its new mayor, London is certainly having something of a crisis of cool. And by crisis, I mean absolute and total hemorrhaging.
Streets awash in politically bankrupt free-sheets that prove the maxim, “you can’t [...]

So, Tom Cruise has a new official website.
Just for the record, and to satisfy the ‘criticism/review’ defence, let me say this: it’s shit.
I mean, really bad. Just a bunch of photos and an over-long video and rambling biography bad. Designed by a student for drug money bad.
Seriously, Tom, if you’re going to have a badass [...]

After posting the first installment of Brilliant Ideas For Other People this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that there might be some cynics out there who would doubt me.
Cynics who would think that I wasn’t giving away these brilliant ideas through generosity or because I couldn’t be bothered to do anything with them, but [...]
