proper kit-kat review




so here we have it. the king of the kit-kat world


no fancy packaging. simple yet efficient.


open it up and...

boom !


four fingers, no excessive packaging within packaging.
no fancy flavours, just chocolate and biscuit.

job done.


green tea kit-kat review



day three of kit-kat reviewing.

have a look at this...

is there any chance ?

green tea flavoured kit-kat !


as usual it's an impressive package and when opened...

two packs of two fingers... grrr !


in the name of all that's holy !
green kit-kat !

to be honest. it didn't taste as bad as it looked.

it's still not right though is it ?

the table in brighton



a nice big photo of mine appeared in a magazine last sunday.


the restaurant is called 'the table' and it's in brighton.


if you're ever in brighton, i'd recommend it.

turtles are surprisingly fast swimmers




let me recommend a film to you.
it's hard to describe it... perhaps a little like 'amelie'
i would also say it's a bit like a japanese version
of an almodovar comedy.

£5.99 on amazon.

i would say exactly what it says on the box...
"one of the funniest films i've seen in a long time"

royal milk tea kit-kat review




in the interests of fair play, i've decided to review the kit-kats
one per day. so following on from yesterday's wretched
strawberry flavoured effort...

royal milk tea kit-kat


once again, fair play to the japanese. the packaging is first class.
nice tartan detail. a photo of a cup of milky tea and some traditional
guardsmen.
shame i had to break into this... it would have made a nice little ornament.


and again, after opening up the box...
 the contents are split into two packets of two fingers. 


i'm unhappy with this situation and i'll tell you why.
anybody who has shared a chinese meal or say a pizza with me knows the rules...
'marky don't share'
my family and what's left of my friends know this rule only too well.
my views on chocolate covered snacks are well documented so there is no 
way on earth i am ever going to share a kit-kat.
so what i'm saying is... nice packaging but pretty pointless.


opening up the packet and boom !
the smell of medicine again...


what a con... a cross between a milky bar and a kit-kat.

absolute filth !

time for another twix !

i've photographed jamie oliver a few times over the past couple of years.
here's a grab from a danish magazine who asked me to take
some photos of jamie to show how sexy he was.
( i was told that their readers had voted him the world's 2nd sexiest man )


i liked the credit they gave me... nice and big.

spanish socks



i had a shoot in a shirt shop in mayfair this afternoon.
i'm not much of a shirt wearer but gentleman's hosiery
has been an interest of mine for quite some years now.
 the shop had special socks made for the forthcoming world cup.
socks in the national colours with embroidered flags... perfect.

i looked long and hard but couldn't find any wales socks...

so i bought these bad boys


i also bought a pair of mexico socks but they gave me the wrong size and 
i have to take them back... grrr !

if you're interested in the world cup shirts, boxer shorts or socks...
