I watched 2G1C today and I found it rather harmless. This is because someone told me that the stuff they’re eating etc. is actually chocolate ice cream. It all makes much more sense now. I mean, the massive poo that comes out of the woman’s bottom doesn’t look real at all. It is most [...]

A day ago, I got an email about our ‘Abi-Treffen’ (= high-school reunion) which is apparently to take place next year. I had forwarded my email address to a person who was meant to organise it, and what she’s fucking done is sent an email about it with everyone’s email address in the fucking CC [...]

I put my Renault in for MOT on Tuesday, and yesterday they phoned me telling me that it’s totally fucked. I.e. absolutely no point in getting it fixed up AT ALL.
Thus, I’m currently without MOT and without insurance. I still need to drive up to Scotland somehow, in a couple of weeks’ time!
It’s annoying as [...]

Facebook pages have been around for a wee while now (since the beginning of November, I think). I noticed recently that they’ve started pushing this feature a bit more on FB itself: When logging on today, I noticed the following message:
I promply searched for one of my favourite bands and to my delight discovered they [...]

It’s very difficult for an online video to go viral these days. Here are two ways of doing so:
Deploy various conscious strategies (as explained here: The Secret Strategies Behind Many ‘Viral’ Videos)
Create a video so horrible, disgusting, and unwatchable, that it’s a genuine watercooler moment (as can be seen here: Two Girls One Cup - [...]

Mark my words: In 20 years from now, the following sentence will be grammatically correct:
Its very cold outside.
Why am I saying this? I’m saying it because these days, I see it more in written communication than I actually see the correct version:
It’s very cold outside.
While respectable newspapers and websites (such as the BBC) nearly always [...]

Yesterday at work we got talking about our ages. I mentioned that I must be getting old, as I had noticed the appearance of a couple of wrinkles on my forehead (they’re only really visible close-up). I said that, as a solution, I might in the future get a fringe cut so that my forehead [...]

I absolutely love the UK. I’ve been here permanently for over 7 years now, though I’ve lived in London on and off before (since 1994).
Readers of my blog know that I prefer Scotland to England of course (BTW Engerland didn’t qualify for the European Championship lmfao), but the things that I love most about the [...]

On tonight, 22:30, BBC3.
The Mighty Boosh is basically a comical, surreal, collage of pop-cultural references, postmodernism, and non-sense. Episode 1 of the new series (series 3) started last week, and it’s genius! Namedropping Shoreditch (where I work and where series 3 is set), it manages to be both progressive/subversive and very funny.
I.e. it works on [...]

Today I found out that I can take ONE BUS to get to work, instead of 2 chubes (which is a busy commuter nightmare).
It’s much more pleasant! I got some brainy audiobooks from a work colleague (Chomsky, Nietzsche, etc.) today which will keep my brain busy while I’m sat on the bus for ages
