Slightly off Topic! A cheap hangover...

This is the name i have decided to give what I am currently experiencing! The hangover from hell, not due to drinking copious amounts of alcohol but by drinking cheap crap booze! When a bottle of Proseco in a bar is £18 this is a good indication that is probably only actually worth about £2 so Don’t buy it. Not “oooo its only £18 a bottle…… LETS HAVE 10!”  
God its criminal!
It always seems like such a good idea at the time and for some reason mid week I’m always far more excited at the prospect of not being able to see or walk in a straight line knowing full well it’s a school night! Come the weekend when I don’t have to get up the following day I’m always a “little!” more reserved.
So now I’m sitting here and its 12.42pm and I’m still feeling pretty rubbish! And will swear to myself that I won’t ever do it again……………….but I will! Because the funny thing about hangovers is you can’t ever really remember how horrendous you felt, similar to motion sickness. So I, along with the rest of the stupid world will just continue to put my hand in the fire…..AND GET BURNT!

Tom Dixon




Is there anywhere in London that he hasn’t touched?
 I started admiring his work (I would like to think!) long before everyone else, well at least long before his designs started appearing in estate agents and trendy bars all over town.
His success at capturing the hearts of architects and interior designers alike has boomed. His designs are effortlessly stylish, with a touch of luxury.
I absolutely love his stuff my all time favourite and actually one of his first pieces is the copper dome pendant, however I do feel it is sadly being robbed of its exclusivity it has become a kind of celebrity and we all know what happens to celebrities once they are over expose!!
Now you have read this and looked at his website mark my words you will start to notice his work everywhere and  it is worth noticing.
Who would have thought Habitat could have made him such a super star……
