Hypocrisy is a wonderful thing, and thanks to the medium of social networking, it is a much easier thing to achieve. Every time Facebook chisels away at the privacy settings of the least private private network in the world, or Google adds another prohibitively anti privacy line to its terms and conditions, I do the [...]
After the utter mindfuckery that was the worldwide news in 2011, you would be forgiven for hoping that absolutely nothing happens this year, that 2012 would be just a nice gentle, perhaps somewhat English affair. People not doing a lot, grumbling weakly about the smallest of inconveniences and then retiring to a nice cup of [...]
Ok, so I can’t resist it. The end of year review is like catnip to bloggers, even though nobody really gives a rat’s arse about my views about the year. Mind you if I start thinking like that then I’d never manage to get another blog post out again. (Stop crossing your fingers there at [...]
I don’t know if you’re the same as me but I’ve been fairly obsessively following the Leveson inquiry into the practices and ethics (or relative lack thereof) of our ‘Gawd Bless Em’ national press. The testimonies offered by the likes of the McCanns has been well served elsewhere, but just as interesting as the enquiry [...]
The more astute of you will have noticed that this here blog has had a shiny new redesign, and is all sparkling and new. Unless of course your general method of entrance to this blog is through an RSS feed, in which case this blog post will look exactly the same as the last one. [...]
I haven’t blogged for a while but there’s nothing quite like the death of a celebrity that you have an anecdote about to bring a blogger back to his keyboard. I’ve written this tale before, so forgive me if I recount again the tale of when I was put into a headlock by an elderly [...]
Last night I braved a downpour so severe I could barely make out my own headlights on the road ahead to make my way towards a modern building in an esteemed seat of learning, and found myself sitting in a classroom for the first time in over a decade. I was surprised to see that [...]
Well hello there. Yes, I’ve been away, but there is a reason for that. His name is Jacob. A tiny bundle of awesomeness and heart melting loveliness he may well be, but he is also very tiring. Well, not so much him being tiring as much as trying to fit another person into a life [...]
So you may have noticed I’ve not been around much lately, the reason being the rather lovely and handsome little fella you see here. My gorgeous little fella arrived on Thursday morning and every day since has been a blur of doing stuff, cuddling him, cleaning up his sick, and trying to catch furtive little sleeps where I [...]
Last night I sat in front of rolling news and watched the city of my birth on fire, held hostage by marauding thugs and vandals, looters and thieves. I saw the street I used to live on filled with riot police. I saw buildings on fire, and I watched my Twitter feed filling with tales [...]
