Unfortunately we are not discussing my derriere. I have been told that it is rather ample for a man although it makes buying jeans an absolute bastard! The bloody era of Indie and 16 year old pop stars has not done anything to assist the cause either when skinny jeans became all the rage. No…
DON’T GO BACON MY HEART
My wife is actually a weirdo. She claims she doesn’t. like. bacon. How is this even a thing?! Bacon is the main reason I’m not a vegetarian. Bacon makes everything better in life.

BEARDYQ
BEARD FACT NO 1: IN THe middle ages touching a man’s beard was incredibly offensive and in extreme cases often lead to a duel. Nowadays I find that people just seem to come up to me and stroke my face like I’m some sort of cat. The truth is, having a beard isn’t just all…

YEE HAW! TEXAS BARBECUE
Like most little boys, when I was a young wee Jack I knew I wanted to be a Cowboy when I grew up. Not the sort of Cowboy that would tarmac your drive for £9.50, a true Texan Cowboy. I would often imagine myself as a gun slinger, drinking in old style saloons and lassoing cattle…

THE VEGANS ARE COMING!!!
Up until a few weeks ago I literally thought that nutrition was all about eating when you’re hungry. But apparently there’s a lot more to it than that. And there’s a hell of a lot of bullshit out there.At the risk of sounding like some kind of diet Diva know-it-all, I’ve noted that since jumping…

THE CARB BEFORE THE STORM
I was extremely privileged to be asked to write an article for the brilliant UK BBQ Magazine recently and my initial reaction was “awesome mate, of course I will!!” It wasn’t until I returned home of course when reality set in, followed by panic and of course a complete mind blank. What on earth was…
