J&B Met review
This year was my 7th consecutive J&B Metropolitan, and it was a great day, as usual. I have tackled the Met in many different ways over the years, from paying large amounts of money to have a table in a tent with food and drinks etc, to sneaking in through a hole in the fence…

Old Biscuit Mill Festival review
Yesterday I went to the Festival at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock which I told you about in the latest Newsletter. The Festival itself was a great success, it was very well attended and there was a great atmosphere. The live band (Bed on Bricks) added to the vibe. I’m not sure if the…

Gallery troubles
Ok, so Flickr seems to be giving me some problems. Apparently I can only have 3 ‘sets’ and only 200 photos in my photo ‘stream’ unless I upgrade to the ‘pro’ version at a cost of $25 per annum. Funny how they don’t mention any of this while you are signing up and blissfully uploading…

Drink driving part 2
A few people have expressed unhappiness at my apparent endorsment of drink driving is the latest newsletter I sent out. So for the record, the article was written tounge in cheek, we all know we should never drink and drive. It’s very bad. There are a couple of other comments I’d like to make. A…

Besobar review
Po Na Na has become a tapas bar called Besobar (in Spanish ‘beso’ means ‘kiss’ and ‘bar’ means ‘bar’). If you’ve been to Po Na Na before you will know what to expect decor wise because nothing has really changed. Although, I’m sure you’ll agree, Po Na Na would be quite suitable for a tapas…
