Grindstone

Claire called me up at work to taunt me about the fact that I’m working late. Well; okay, she didn’t, but she night as well have, because I’m still at the office, slogging away at a chunk of Bovini for a deadline tomorrow, not making… Continue reading

Idea Of The Day From Alex And Dan I

Wouldn’t the world be so much better a place if brits had to go through some kind of vetting procedure – a test of sorts – before they were permitted to go on holiday to Ibiza? An example extract from an interview might be: Interviewer… Continue reading

Andy’s Party And Other Happenings Up North

This is my third and final attempt to write this journal entry without something terrible happing that causes me to lose it in it’s entirety. Spent a long weekend (Friday to Tuesday) in the North-West of England, firstly at Andy’s party, then later visiting my… Continue reading

De Funk?

I’ve been celebrating my new-found freedom [removed link] by letting myself post to De’s forums. For those of you who aren’t following this little campaign, I really hurt him about a year ago, and he decided to hate me but not tell me why, and… Continue reading

Uninteresting Blogging
