For those of you who’ve found their way here via the Radio New Zealand show “Summer Nights”, welcome. And, indeed, kia ora. This blog isn’t updated much these days, so here are a few highlights.

1. My trip to North Korea
2. An invention: Pepto Bismol Ice Cream
3. And another: the Scotch Ostrich Egg
4. In which I write to the contestants of the second series of The Apprentice and mess with their heads
5. Neil Armstrong: The Truth
6. Quiz: Despot or Sexpot?
7. An educational tool: my amazing animal portal
8. Eating at the Fat Duck

Also…

9. My Guardian writing, including eating animals alphabetically
10. Kittenwar!

If I was updating this blog on a regular basis, it would be far to claim that it’s been an ongoing part of the web’s digital fabric for exactly ten years, today. But I haven’t been. So I’m not going to do anything of the sort.
