We are spending the last week of our honeymoon in Kuala Lumpur and are staying at the Traders Hotel in the city centre. We have a spectacular view of The Petronas Towers and are just across the road from the Suria Mall.
To get out of the heat we decided to go an watch a movie [...]
Get Smart in Kuala Lumpur
Come as you are
1991. I was nineteen and at college when I first heard ‘Smells like teen spirit‘ by Nirvana. I remember it vividly as I was genuinely shocked and thrilled at the same time. I was a guitar player and had been ploughing through Rock and Blues staples, learning the likes of Clapton and Hendrix – classics [...]
Moving on up the coast
We leave behind San Francisco tomorrow and will actually miss the place.
We both really liked this city. It has proper weather but just with a touch more sun than we are used too. The people are friendly, creative and happy. There is something for everyone here and the way they treat tourists is an example [...]
The Boring Bit
So as we prepare to leave Orlando and head for Miami, I thought I would give you a quick run through of what we did here.
Day Zero
Orlando airport took an hour and a half to clear because of the excessive security and immigration. Actually scrub that Orlando airport took an hour and a half to [...]
Restaurant review: Hooters, Orlando
Hooters is an Owl-themed restaurant popular in the United States and as a bird lover I was intrigued.
I had heard of this place before and it has its knockers but I was willing to give it an open-minded try. On entering the premises I was delighted to see animals were welcome – there were [...]
5 computer games that weren’t worth the effort (or money)
I have been buying computer games for a looong time. Since I owned my trusty ZX81 back in ‘the day’ I have bought some real, real bad games. What surprises me that nearly 25 years later, Big companies are still churning out absolute dross and charging money for it. Do they not have Quality Assurance [...]
Portillo saves the world
Last night I watched an interesting documentary by former MP Michael Portillo on the death penalty. Mr Portillo has voted twice on the death penalty, once for and once against and ten years later decided (belatedly) to find out some information on what he was actually voting on.
He investigated the current methods for killing [...]
Led Zeppelin reunion at o2 review
I.Was.There.
That is about all I can say about the Led Zeppelin reunion gig at the 02 arena on Monday. For the last day I have struggled to try and find a way to describe it fully, in order that you, dear reader, could feel like you were there. The best I can do is describe [...]
Kaiser Chiefs at AECC
Myself and the WoH were at the AECC tonight to watch The Kaiser Chiefs supported by We Are Scientists. We picked our usual spot right, near the back, beside the mixing desk. I used to be a ‘right down the front kind of guy’ but at 34 the spirit is willing but sadly it would [...]
Apple Leopard has arrived!
The morning post brought me great pleasure – it brought me the new OS for Mac, Leopard.
Although I am hugely trusting of Apple I thought it prudent to back everything up first before installing, so set it going whilst I went to the gym. Came back, inserted the DVD and a couple of button presses [...]
