Hello Dave.

This is quite old. Not sure why it made me laugh out loud. I don’t even like the League of Gentlemen that much. I’m more of a League Against Tedium man.

New Deal

Some of you who know me, and one or two who stalk me, may be aware that I’m currently unemployed. In the Summer of 2006 I came into some money and decided to take a break from employment. I had a decent job at Orange, testing systems, identifying faults and other general IT monkey . . . → Read More: New Deal

Oscar Wilde? I shit him.

My dad has been hired to move the couple at the end of the street. He’s a meek coward who hangs around pub doorways asking anyone going in or out for spare cash. She’s an alcoholic ex-hooker that was probably stunning in her twenties but twenty-five years on the game has not rendered her . . . → Read More: Oscar Wilde? I shit him.

1000FPS

This is a video that I don’t really have anything to add to. I just recommend viewing it in HD on the Vimeo page. I only embedded the low res version here to make the page look nicer. . . . → Read More: 1000FPS

This may be my last post for a while

I’m currently downloading the new Ubuntu having finally got the old one working in a manner that doesn’t make me want to punch children. I’ve made my feelings on this matter very clear before. I hope I won’t need to do it again.

Looks like I picked a good time to give up the sauce

No, this isn’t going to be a post about the budget. I’ve said everything I’m going to say on Twitter. To be honest, it’s mostly an ‘I’m not drunk or dead post’.

It’s been 13 days since I last had a drink. Went out on Sunday and realised how boring drunks really . . . → Read More: Looks like I picked a good time to give up the sauce

What a surprise.

Ian Tomlinson did not die of a heart attack but of abdominal haemorrhage, the kind that could have been caused by an immense twatting with a police baton.

Just to make sure you’re aware of the implications of this story. An innocent man, with his hands in his pockets, was attacked from . . . → Read More: What a surprise.

One week sober

Days without alcohol – 7

I’d like to be able to tell you that I feel fitter, happier, more productive, a pig in a cage on anti-biotics. It’s not really true. I haven’t had a headache all week which I would have attributed to sobriety had I not woken this morning feeling like my . . . → Read More: One week sober

What?

This is my blog. I pay for it. It is mine. Just because it's freely available on the internet and you can leave comments doesn't mean you can act like a cunt. You can swear as much as you like but if you abuse or threaten, I'll make Cerberus look like a fucking Andrex puppy - with three heads.
