Meet Me In Almaty
Before this draw, I was convinced, sure, certain, that we were finally going to bag one of my dream dates: Kazakhstan. A nice short hop (for me) to Almaty, a town where a friend once ate a horse’s penis. How do you manage that without getting a kick in the head, you might ask? Well, […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Ardentjohn

So here we go, it’s time for the last of my tips for 2010 and what a belter we have to round things off, none other than the mysterious beings known as Silver Columns. Imagine Jimmy Somerville being horse whipped by the Hot Chip boys and you’re half way there.

Tony, What Are You Thinking?
