Mighty Deerstalker
Friday, November 23rd, 2007The Mighty Deerstalker is back for 2008. Get your entry in now. I’ve got my place, and this year I’m planning to camp over, possiby with my beautiful girlfriend if she can be persuaded.
Next year’s Edinburgh Half is on March 16th, which makes doing both events much more feasible. No [...]
Chennai By Auto
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007One of the most popular ways of getting around Chennai, and other Indian cities, is by auto. These are like motorised trikes, and the drivers are masters of weaving in and out the traffic. It looks quite good fun when you’re in a big car, but it gets quite interesting when you’re in [...]

Rich is on for Pete’s 30th birthday pictures at Igg’s. We’re both available for further photographic assignments, assuming the [...]
Out But Not Down
Sunday, November 18th, 2007Despite being unable to find a TV channel and even the local Scottish pub not showing the game (or aware there was a game of such national importance on), I soldiered on and ‘watched’ the game via BBC web site updates and text messages from people back home.
By all accounts it was a pretty decent [...]
In The Bag
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Two good friends are kicking off their big venture next Thursday, 22nd November, opening their handbag and jewellery shop at 20 Thistle Street in Edinburgh tomorrow. Covet will sell designer handbags, but not the usual ones you find in Harvey Nichols or Sam Thomas; these are exclusive to Covet, personally selected by Blaise and [...]
