Just saw this cat on IG and thought “aww, that’s a cute cat” before realizing it is my cat from the IG account I run.

my neighbour is currently playing Band Aid at a very loud volume.

1980 "Sun Sun" street map of Hong Kong island: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKhb... Introducing the newest addition to Gwulo’s maps. #gwulo #hongkonghistory

got a loose speaker wire in my (3rd hand - inherited from both sons) laptop, so to listen to audio I have to lean on the right side of the keyboard...yes, I am a cheapskate.

in case you missed it 2 years ago, John Woo's best film is on Youtube here: youtu.be/kfcqmri1Zpw?...

someone in my block has been running their aircon 24/7 for the last week. Some people are just beyond salvation. (context: it's low 20s and only around 70% humidity i.e. darn nice weather)

Took a quick trip to Fung Ying Seen Koon today as well. First time in 18 years. Just checked my old photos and noticed I took an almost identical picture back in 2008.

Went up to Ho Sheung Heung for the first time in about a year today. Holy crap what a mess that whole place (Kwu Tung) is with the Northern Metropolis development. To think that Shaw Brothers shot so many outdoor scenes in that location because it was so pristine and beautiful...

Mr Kirmani is doing his bit by swapping to a non-petroleum based moustache wax.

Not many people spawn their own genre of joke. Total legend.

RIP Chuck Norris. As far as I am aware he made two films in HK. Way of the Dragon with Bruce Lee (the coliseum fight was a set at Golden Studios) and Forced Vengeance. hkmacaufilmtvlocations.blogspot.com/search/label...

Damn, I thought that guy was immortal!

wow, I'm gutted I'll miss this by 3 days...goddamit (my London flat is only a 30 min walk from Leicester Sq)

another one

Hung Hing Road - Then (She Shoots Straight 1990) v now (March 2026).

The Champions, a late 60s UK thriller series, set an episode in Hong Kong. This is the opening image (it was stock footage sadly, but still nice to see).

This is by far his best look...

📅 Date: Wednesday, March 18th 🕡 Time: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM 📍 Venue: Bookazine Social, Tai Kwun, Central 💵 Admission: $100 (includes a $100 Bookazine

great photo

The new Kintsugi amateur in me has been triggered when approaching Sheung Wun Yiu Village (from Tai Wo via the Wilson trail) and its old ceramics kiln site and quaint little Fan Sin temple.

Bruce Lee memorials in the Prudential building. This marks the site of the Katherine Building where Bruce grew up (@ #218) during the 40s and 50s.

For those who didn't grow up in the UK during the 80s, this is the first doco of John Davidson who caused the BAFTA controversy. The dinner scene when he constantly spits and calls him mum all names was seared into my brain when it first aired. youtu.be/wxfJDpd3XcY?...

Now the wife is properly retired we are making a proper effort to get through this old nugget. HK Trail done and dusted. Wilson Trail will start after Easter. Big props to @petespurrier.bsky.social for this perennial favourite (my copy already nearly 20 years old)

Current view

Finally catching up on Stranger Things 5. Looks like they just decided to make even more shit up just to tick boxes. Very disappointing.

Who remembers Amina Bokhary and the video of her slapping that cop when she was arrested for DUI? Turns out she died the other day...[warning: dim sum daily and multiple ads] www.dimsumdaily.hk/amina-niece-...

just been watching Full Contact on YT and the very first HK location (after 37 minutes...) is this old chestnut that only 90s era peeps will remember. The Jouster 2 bar on Hart Ave replete with its famous suit of armour.

Such a great photo as well.
