I’m still reeling from the surreal experience at the Moonlight private members club on Green Street, West Ham (near Upton Park tube) on Saturday night. Five of us (myself, an Indian, a Pakistani, an Italian and an Iranian… this isn’t a joke) had met up for a few drinks and then on to a really …
The O’s only have to keep it up for another 43 games. BBC SPORT | Football | League Two | Darlington 0-1 Leyton Orient Ling is thrilled to top the table
On a recent trip to Luxembourg we spent some time before our flight left for City Airport by playing crazy golf. The players were: Deborah Causton, Susan Engel, Chris Greenway and myself (Karl Bunyan). The scorecards for each of us are below: Deborah’s scorecard: Deborah’s total: 86 Susan’s scorecard: Susan’s total: 78 Chris’scorecard: Chris’ total: …
Hidden away (kind of) on Columbia Road in Hackney, just off Hackney Road, is a small pizza restaurant called Stringray Globe. We’ve been there for Friday lunch a few times now and it’s been very good every time. I can’t comment on the non-pizza menu (which looks comprehensive enough) but the pizzas themselves are very …
Since Orient are the only side in Division Two to have won both of the first two games of the season we’re now top. Two games into the new season is certainly too early to tell anything, since football is ‘a funny old game’, but it’s a good start. Enjoy it while it lasts! BBC …
I first published a JavaScript haiku called ‘Fear of tomorrow’ here. Well, I’ve written some more. Apparently these are more likely to be classed as Senryuu, but what do I know. Anyway, here are some others that I’ve written, with the code first and the way it’s supposed to be read following it, and then …
Hiring a motorbike in London always has the disadvantage that you have to go quite a way to find a decent road to ride down. Well, I’ve found one now with the route from north-east London to Saffron Walden. The ‘easy’ way would be to take the M11, since Saffron Walden is only a couple …
I’ve ridden Honda CBR600’s quite a few times now and I have to say that I think for riding pleasure I enjoy this bike more than the others I’ve tried. After riding the Blackbird recently, which is an exceedingly well balanced bike for its size, the CBR600 felt extremely light. That is the real benefit …
The first match of the season, and the first match to watch from the new West Stand. The building is pretty much complete, give or take some ‘finishing touches’, and the new central block of padded seats are a great place to watch the game from. Leyton started well, scoring in the second minute, and …
I stayed last night in the Jasmine B&B in Southwold. It was actually closer to Reydon, an adjoining town, and about 20 minutes walk from Southwold high street and seafront. The B&B was tiny, with only 3 rooms (en-suite), but a friendly welcome. In fact, the whole thing is more like staying in a friend’s …
