Bending cigarettes?

Watch out for anyone betting you they can bend a cigarette without breaking it…

Squirrel Girl

The legendary comic artist Steve Ditko is well known for his co-creation with Stan Lee, Spiderman. Lesser known is his later creation, Squirrel Girl. As a youngster I was enthralled by the adventures of Spidey; I even had a life-sized Spiderman in my room (which was surreal when on a fortunate occasion Stan Lee visited our house and signed it in Peter Parker’s name for me!).

However I’m not convinced that “Squirrel Girl” would have quite the same hook for a 8 year old boy as a guy with Spider-sense.

Maybe she is the only hero of any merit in New Hampshire though!

Coming to stores in the UK soon (alas)

Burger King

By all accounts the latest move by Burger King into the supermarket world leaves a lot to be desired. Reports from US aficionados on the subject of everything ‘french fries’, say that the Burger King “Ketchup & Fries” don’t even reach the lowly standards of the in-store version. Not a tempting thought!

Georgia Moon!

A very welcome addition to the Westminster bourbon club bar…Georgia Moon.

I first tried this rough diamond in the exquisite CroBar off Shaftesbury Ave and have been keeping an eye out for it ever since. Well, thanks to an excellent store in Soho that specialises in the unusual and rare liquid treats, it will be tasted this weekend. Good ol’ Moonshine!

Who’s this guy?

I’m a big fan of emerging technologies and I particularly like the possibilities of the new search engine Cuil. However, I’m not going to stay a fan if they put a picture of this guy next to me! WTF
