Back Home (Sweet Home)

I’m back in Edinburgh now. I was going to write a post about comparing London to Edinburgh again, and how I’ve now gotten more used to London; however, I’m meeting my friend J. in 15 minutes so I haven’t got time. We’re going to a gig tonight, Das Contras - I’m on the guest list [...]

Insidious Comment Spam

Insidious comment spam has been on the increase in recent weeks, so I thought I post an example so as to make everyone aware of it.
My theory is that these spammers’ strategy is to get a seemingly very harmless post approved, so that in the future, they can just spam my blog without ending [...]

When You Suddenly Realise You’ve Got.To.Do.Something

Over the last few weeks I’ve encountered an ever-increasing number of people between 23 and 27 who suddenly realise they’ve got to do something with their lives. It’s interesting because I went through a similar crisis/phase of anxiety when I was 26/27.
At the time, I had been studying for ages at the University of Cologne, [...]

Just in - Death Threats to Female Blogger

That’s why I put so much emphasis on staying anonymous. OK, my blog won’t ever have as much impact as that of Kathy Sierra, but regular readers of mine will remember two nasty comments that I myself had last year in November and which I’ll paste below again, just so that people realise threatening behaviour [...]

How To Increase Blog Traffic - revisited

I’ve decided to revisit my How to Increase Blog Traffic post, not only to get away from my dull introspection of late, but also partly as it’s something that I’ve been thinking about over the last few days.
I don’t monitor my traffic at all, ever since it exploded last year due to the Imogen sex [...]

The London Crowd, or, My Blog is Getting Quite Boring

At the moment, I’m confronted with some personal issues (nothing bad - nae worries ) which is why my blog is probably a bit boring at the moment. I’m stuck in a London flat with my BF and hardly ever leave it, which is why everything is kind of turning to the inside.
When we [...]

Maximo Park Gig - review

I went to see Maximo Park yesterday at the Scala in Kings Cross and it was great! Just £3 entry (!!) but then again it was a club gig and not a proper gig, so they played just 7 songs:
1. Girls who play guitars
2. My velocity
3. [...]

Who Wants My Money?

I’ve never been in debt and always pay my three credit cards on time. I’m on the electoral roll and am overall a good citizen, with a decent* regular wage check being paid into my account each month.
However, it seems that credit card institutions and banks don’t want my business! I applied for an ASDA [...]

Doing it all for Equality

Today I choose to use the same title as anaj in her blog post, because I too did my bit for equality today: I laid the carpet in my BF’s flat’s hallway. We had started doing it together yesterday, but I cannae work with someone who works against me and who doesn’t have a method [...]
