The iPhone. All hail the flippin’ iPhone, which I got sucked into buying back in August during my summer road trip when my trusty old Nokia finally broke when one of the function keys broke, and so I got a new phone when I passed the gleaming AT&T store in Salt Lake City later that [...]
Some backstory: I was 29 years old back in 2001, when two friends of mine back in the UK – Richard & Nikki got married. They were part of a big gang of friends that we all used to hang out with and have fun, and they were in a succession of a whole string [...]
So this it what makes me happy, and keeps me in Charleston. My group got on stage on Saturday night for our second ever show in front of a proper audience and did that funny improv thing. So whilst this post is mainly for my mum who wanted to just see me, this still makes [...]
“So … why don’t you come home, Geoff?”. is a question that seems to get asked of me a lot by people back home. Well …. … because when I can have this amount of fun, in this amazing city, with this bunch of beautiful people, it makes it fucking hard to imagine leaving one [...]
So it was this week last year, that I took my first ever improv class – all part of twelve insane unforgettable months of my life that will be extremely hard to beat. One of the main things that they try and teach you (aside from “Agree with your scene partner”, and “Never ask questions”) [...]
Last week, when I posted an artistic video creation up on my site, a couple of people genuinely thought that I was about to top myself. One who didn’t because he ‘got’ what it was all about, emailed me – even though I’ve never even met him. A nice man in Australia called Peter sent [...]
At the Theatre where I take improv comedy classes, they also have the occasional sketch-comedy show night, where – if you’ve come up with something which you think will be funny (!) you get to perform. So here’s me … on stage, last night with Andy & Eleanor introducing a new product that’s now available [...]
A new drama, some facts, photos, and other ramblings. ACT ONE, Scene One Where we see our hero safely in the domesticity of an established home life and routine. Surrounded by an excellent bunch of friends and family, an amazing job that they are thrilled to have, and surviving well financially with routines and regular [...]
I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.
