What’s for Lunch? The Rib Man, Brick Lane (Londonist)

What’s for Lunch? The Rib Man, Brick Lane
Londonist, August  23, 2011 at 11:30 pm

The Rib Man - Brick Lane Sunday Market

Top quality, huge and cheap, the Rib Man’s rolls and wraps represent some of the best barbecued pork to be found in London. It’s a shame, but even that much more of a treat, that his offerings are only available at Brick Lane’s weekly Sunday market.

Free Ice Cream in London from the Orange Ice Cream Van – Will it Visit Your Postcode?

orange ice cream truck 01

On Thursday 25th and Friday 26th of August, Orange is going to hit the streets of London with its very own ice cream van to help folks chill out and have a bit of summery fun … and you can decide where the van rolls up to spread the yum. Just head on over to The Feed and submit the first part of your postcode (eg: E8 or BN1) via the app. Make sure to get your local friends in on the act as well because the more entries Orange gets from your area, the better the odds will be that the van visits your neck of the woods.

Like to Tweet? Check out the @OrangeTheFeed and use the hashtag #keepmecool to further sure up the chances of the Orange ice cream van parking somewhere near your home or place of work. Free ice cream? That’s worth a tweet!

I’m ebuzzing’s August Blogger of the Month. Nice!

Hey neato! Check it out. ebuzzing has named me its August Blogger of the Month. I always reckoned I was pretty good but to be described as “august” is quite the honour 😉

Seriously though, this is killer. I’ve had a lot of fun working with ebuzzing over the past year. I am genuinely amazed by how much money I’ve made via the service and think that the folks behind the business do a stellar job finding campaigns that are relevant to my blog while leaving all the creativity and presentation up to me.

Cheers! I’m chuffed.

August Blogger of the Month

We thought it would be a great idea to start showing our community of bloggers how much we appreciate their time and effort on our campaigns, as well as all their friendly correspondence. So to illustrate this appreciation, we’re starting a Blogger of the Month feature. If we think you’ve shone brightest out of all of the ebuzzing bloggers, you’ll be featured just like our inaugural Blogger of the Month, Chris Osburn.

It’s Miller Time

millerMB1

Its Miller time … or at least I sure hope it is. I know a lot of people here in London and throughout the UK could definitely do with a fun night going out and simply relaxing with friends. A neato way to step up your socialising this weekend might be to plan your night with the new Miller Time mobile app. The app enables folks to pre check in before heading out and then later announce their arrival at whatever venues they choose to visit. This new online hub offers tools to help the socially active navigate their city to discover cool eventstrending bars and venues where they can catch the best live music. And just to add a little incentive to the good times, the most socially active person in London (or whichever city you happen to be using the app) can win £100 worth of HMV vouchers AND get crowned the social king or queen of the city. I intend to have a look at this new app and give it a go as I start thinking about how I want to spend some of my free time. With friends all over town and a gazillion places to go in this massive city, the Miller Time app should prove extremely handy in upping the hits and minimising the misses.

Have fun. Be safe. Drink responsibly. And use social media and your mobiles in a friendly way!
