Duke of Edinburgh Silver - Expedition Report
We started off the journey on the way up to Loch Awe in Scotland from Patterdale Hall in high spirits. We were all anxious about the challenge that lay ahead of us, but knowing that we would have the night in a youth hostel to prepare ourselves both mentally and physically, we felt that we were ready for it. The youth hostel was a great opportunity to get some rest after the long journey we had...

Ticket Re-Selling
I wrote this a while ago to encourage people to do something about event ticket re-sales and the extortionate mark-ups involved (like sign my petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/OutWithTouts/), but recently I felt it needed showing to more people:
Re-Selling of tickets, whether it is through online channels, or touts standing outside venues, has been around for a while. In some...

Matimus' Alternative Beard Use Compendium
#1: It catches your drink when your mouth doesn’t.
#2: A duster for ‘chin-high’ shelves.
#3: A nesting area for small woodland creatures displaced by intensive tree felling and/or badgers.
#4: Stroke it whilst looking up and to the left to create the illusion that you at least have some vague idea about what you’re doing or to cleverly conceal the fact that you weren’t listening and leave...

The Little Happy Duckling
I found this written in a page of my old uni notebook when I was going through it the other day:

Meanwhile, on the other...

I spray painted stencils of my nickname on the outside of the hard case and the back of the pedalboard;

I made my...

“Simon Cowell has secured the UK’s Christmas Number One slot despite brave...”
– This really annoyed me when I read it on UltimateGuitar.com, it shouldn’t be possible for Simon Cowell to ‘secure’ the number one spot by spending more money, it should be based on the music. I’m getting so sick of the way this world works.
