It seems I am using this blog primarily as a grumpy box to pour my not inconsiderable scorn on the things that annoy the piss out of me. But then it is a marvel that this blog hasn’t become a constant tirade against First Pissing Buses so consider yourselves lucky. Anyway, this is coming to [...]
One of those days today where everything has kind of floated by me in a fog of uncertainty, pausing only every once and again to squeeze out a little nugget of general unpleasantness, nothing major of course but just enough nagging little things to set the day off its axis and seem that little bit [...]
I suppose with today being the fifth anniversary of Twitter every single blogger on Twitter (that’ll be every blogger in the world then) will be penning a peon to the destroyer of all leisure time, so to avoid this I thought I would share with you an email conversation between myself and a good friend [...]
Once again I come to you live and direct from the changing room at my daughter’s dance class, where they have decided to force everyone from two rooms into one to make room for piano lessons. I can understand the rationale for this in these tight economic times but the net result is to take [...]
It’s a hard old life. I’ve just spent the majority of my day cleaning the house top to bottom in anticipation of there being a person who doesn’t live here coming round later. Strange how you let things build up without really noticing until you realise that someone else might see them and they’re all [...]
Once again I’m coming to you live from the waiting room of my daughter’s dance class, typing madly away at the keyboard of my phone while my headphones pipe Nine Inch Nails directly into my head.

What has actually been a pretty bloody good day has actually turned rapidly into a pissy and irritable mood this evening, through nobody’s fault in particular but my own. Incremental bits of annoyance have built up and left me feeling, well, pissy. I was going to spend the evening writing stuff for Demon Pigeon, because [...]
The lack of posting yesterday has kind of thrown the whole seven days thing out of whack but there you go, let’s plough on as though nothing happened, eh? 7 days is a project where I have to write a week’s worth of blog posts based on one word topic suggestions suggested by the good [...]
For those expecting Cross Blogination tonight, Gray has decided to focus on the slightly more auspicious occasion of his own 1000th post over at Diary Of A Ledger, a fairly impressive tally given that he’s only been at this blogging lark for two years. I doubt I’ve notched up that many posts over seven years, [...]
For some reason I find the weekend to be the hardest time to keep up with the blog a day ethic, which surprises me since I thought they would be the easiest. I think it is the lure of Total Wipeout in the hour that is my normal blogging time, or the fact that I [...]
