Ok, ok, everyone calm down. I don’t want to be getting everyone paranoid. No personal attack was intended. Very sorry for any offense caused. But if you read down it was about ME really. But… really… give a shit? This … Continue reading
The Bulgarian woman from the shop downstairs is trying to get me to teach English to her son. I said yes, not because I particularly want the work but because it seemed impolite not to. Especially as it had taken … Continue reading
Matthew’s birthday was a cornucopia of comedy. Moreorless everybody switched genders for the evening and generally lost all their qualms about going completely screaming-slut-crazy. I was going to go into detail, but really shouldn’t. I want to be honest with … Continue reading

Last night was Halloween, so me and Hamish trammed over to Andel where we bought Jason hockey masks. We then combined these with black clothes, hats and gloves for a low budget, unimaginative costume and completed it by walking around … Continue reading
So, back in dear old blighty, IDS has got the chop. If you don’t know who I’m talking about then skip this paragraph. My interest in politics, especially English parliamentary politics, especially infighting and plotting in the tory party is … Continue reading
