Anyone else noticed how slow the PCC website is at this precise moment (17:46 16.10.2009)? I wonder why that could be…

I make no apologies for once again speaking of Mr Michael Chabon and quoting him at length. It turns out that I hadn’t actually read everything he’s written and published (although I believe I soon will have. Get me) and, whilst moseying about in The Strand bookstore I found a paperback copy of some collected [...]

This is what happens when I leave the country. Sheesh.
Coming to you LIVE AND HOT from the East Vill

Hello fair readers both! And mainly, you’ll be thrilled to hear, I’m sunning it up in NYC – East Sixth, to be fairly precise. What a treat! Sorry about the lack of a teaser but I didn’t want to give any game away to my fair Aunt, who has just celebrated a certain milestone of [...]
On the Rise and Fall of Men’s Trousers
Posted in Bloggage, tagged trousers on July 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The trouser, like almost the entirety of Western Civilisation as we know it, can be blamed squarely on the shoulders – or, more accurately in this case, hips – of Mr Beau Brummel. His dandyish wearing of the trouser, as opposed to the foppish breeches, was a complex challenge to the sartorial niceties of the [...]
New flat, which doesn’t apparently exist (or: Robert Cinnamon practices his split infinitives)

Hello one and both! So as you’ll know I’ve been curiously absent of late. Well, it’s all vaguely due to having moved home. I’m now a Kemptonite/Kemptowner/Kemptownan and have regained the fine distinction of living actually in Brighton (BN2 baby! Read it and weep!)
However, it’s been a mildly arduous transition, especially the part where Pa [...]
…I’m still here. I think…

Your Mister Cinnamon has unfortunately been busy of late, and will be back properly soon. He’s had the lack of foresight to apply for a job he won’t get and the chutzpah to ignore his reading public (both of whom he cares deeply about) and go out galavanting to see new-fangled indie bands and imbibe [...]

You could buy Mr Cinnamon a little sabbatical. He’d be ever so grateful…
Nonsense and piffle (but it’s kinda pretty)

So the Graun, usually quite good on environmental accuracy, claims that this house is somehow “zero-carbon“.
And apparently this all comes from one of those clever Grand Designs from Channel 4. But what they fail to mention is that this house is built of bricks. BRICKS! and glass. GLASS! If you can explain to me exactly [...]
It’s science,Jim, etc.

So I thought you might not have realised that Brighton has its very own science festival. Well, now you have. I keep meaning to go (and by “keep”, I mean annually about this time for the past few years. Which isn’t really what “keep” normally means, “keep” normally being in a continuous state as opposed [...]
