How do we get country boundaries?
It’s a difficult question. For Britons, the point is almost irrelevant – we are an island, and the only thing we have to worry about is where England ends and Scotland and Wales begin.

Moscow: A City of Contrasts
October 18, 2011
Apologies for the complete and utter lack of posts recently. I’ve been fairly busy doing client work of one form or another for the past month solid (and it’s still unremitting, so this will be a shortish post).

A New Project: 40 Hours at the Fringe
August 12, 2011
I’m off to Edinburgh tonight, to spend a whirlwind 40 hours at the Edinburgh Fringe, the annual come-see-a-lot-of-acting-and-dancing-and-comedy festival which anyone who’s anyone in the entertainment world goes to to perform. The problem is I don’t have any idea what to see. The one act I was determined to see – Bo Burnham – isn’t […]
