Campaign for Real Heritage

4 March 2009 – 5:42 pm

It deserves recognition, YOUR history deserves a blue plaque. So now it can have one, the Campaign for Real Heritage will place a plaque anywhere, […]

Tea Fu

20 February 2009 – 9:44 pm

Tea Fu is the ancient art of persuading others to make you a cuppa. Most often practised in dwellings, the Tea Fu master will use psychological tricksterism as tea always tastes better when someone else has made it. The true master will also attempt workplace Tea Fu.

Outer Circle Psychogeographical Report

24 November 2008 – 11:09 pm
