I say chums.... I am simply chuffed to bits to read that the esteemed Joe and Co. barbers to the notable have seen fit to lavish such praise on my very own 'Private Stock' Beard Oil, a delectable blend of fragrant essential oils fused with Sweet Almond, Jojoba & Vitamin E base oils. Quite superb. Thank you. It has added a whistle to my lips and a hint of Spring to my step. Whatever next? Carry On. Fawcett.

The Captain and a few of his very dear chums were delighted to be invited to a simply splendid soirée hosted by the reputed Pall Mall Barbers, held at the Boisdale eaterie in Belgravia this Tuesday last. Great fun was had by all, as the canapés and Prosecco flowed thick and fast. You can find some splendid images from the evening on my Facebook page. Carry On Chaps. Fawcett.

Team Fawcett Movember Promo - Ylang Ylang from James Lightbown on Vimeo. I say chums its all a little bit on the hush hush don’t you know, but a couple of old school blighters have clubbed together to form ‘Team Fawcett’ for Movember 2013. It’s a noble bid to raise some much needed coin for research into men’s cancer.. Have a dekko at the film and jolly well join in.

I make no apologies for the rambling and on occasion perchance deranged meanderings that have been collected here for your esteemed perusal and delectation. They catalogue the Captain’s latter year tall tales of misadventure & ‘derring do’. I should indicate that peoples names have in the most part been changed to protect the guilty, however having said that some characters will remain instantly recognisable..
