    Please fill out my survey.

    Please complete the survey I am helping conduct as part of my Msc. It is not exciting, it won't change your life and filling it in won't help you get laid. On the other hand it won't take very long and it would be a big help. It is about Fairtrade and similar schemes and I am primarily...

    Always tired

    Going to see a doctor shortly, but I am not registered with one and it will probably take some time to get set up. I eat fairly healthily - decent number of fruits and veg, enough meat etc. a few too many sweets to get me through three hour lectures. I don't drink coffee or tea. I walk fast at...

    Tourists who visited scotland, what did you enjoy?

    A friend from the states is visiting Scotland shortly where I will be meeting him and we will travel around for a few days. Despite having lived in Scotland I am having a really hard time deciding what to do, I feel overwhelmed by choice. We clearly need to visit a glenn, a loch, a castle and a...

    Are you photogenic? Why might you/might you not be? I am not.

    A friend just put a batch of photos up on facebook from recent nights out and in every single one I look pretty awful. I am by no means a model but I have my fair share of admirers, pretty average looking I suppose, so it annoys me that I look bad in almost every single photo and, most...

    Which Linux?

    I am buying a new laptop and thought I might dual boot it with Linux, mostly for fun but also because I found its ability to run on my old laptop which was too broken down for anything else to run pretty impressive. I know next to nothing about linux, and don't want to spend my whole time...

    Business dress with hippies

    I am going to start an internship with some eco-hippy types shortly, and will probably have interviews with various other groups of hippies for other internships and possibly masters degrees. So I submit the questions - What do you wear to an interview when the interviewers really want to be...

    Running across country in the rain

    So I have recently started running again after a four year break (university) where I have become horrendously unfit. I have been running, not very far or fast, but every day and I am begging to feel better, however the weather is getting worse and I am worried my bog standard cross trainers are...

    There is a sample sale of Kent & Curwen stuff and a few bits and bobs of left over hardie amies rtw at the hardie amies shop on Saville row. I had never heard of Kent & Curwen so I can't vouch for the quality but the stuff is now pretty cheap - £30 for odd jackets. There was a reasonable...

    The first shoe you should buy

    Vaguely inspired by the "one suit" thread, and in no way interested in the "longwing on the plaza last to rule them all" one shoe wardrobe If you could only buy one pair of "proper" shoes, or you had to buy one pair first and had get the most utility out of them what would they be? My thought...

    marcella waistcoat with black tie

    I have my final university ball next month, and I was thinking of wearing a white marcella waistcoat with my dj for a change. Are there any special rules about the details on the waistcoat? Can I just use a white tie one or would I need to buy a specific waistcoat? Anything else I should...

    how should shoes fit?

    Ok, stupid question, how should shoes fit? I have been wearing the same pair of knackered loafers for so long I swear I can't tell. I am looking at getting some C&J Chelseas as a reward for finishing my god-damn dissertation - one way or another - in a couple of days, and was thinking I have no...

    cutaway collars and tie knots

    I have a bunch of cutaway/full spread collar shirts that were given to me several years ago, they fit pretty well and are of a far higher quality than anything else I have (or am likely to acquire in the near future) and I want to get more use out of them. Up till now I have always worn them...

    hardwearing smartish trousers for backpacking

    I do quite a bit of backpacking in hot places and I am looking for a pair of trousers that will take a fair amount of abuse but will just about pass muster in a nicer bar or hotel. I used to have pair from gap that looked like slim tan chinos but were made of something much tougher, they were...

    Single/center vent = fail

    Just saw a guy, obviosly american, quite well dressed, all fine and then he puts his hands in his pockets and the center vent on his blazer opens up into a massive triangle and suddenly it all looks a bit shabby. I have never understood the attraction of a single vent, and have only one jacket...

    Which do you hate least?

    I was reading Monocle on the train and I saw a sleeveless cardigan/knit waistcoat and despite some part of me saying that looks really stupid the idea kind of stuck with me, and I wasn't to try it out as cheaply as possible. I haven't been able to find them cheaply except here...
