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 [...]

Now I’m down in it

Net hate,Writing 7 March 2011 | 0 Comments

Finding this a bit of a struggle today, a combination of being bloody tired after staying up too late after Richard Herring, a very early start for my new job, a long train journey, a tiring  evening and then watching what was simultaneously the most uplifting and depressing hour of television ever broadcast in Brian [...]

Blood Feud

365,Film,Net hate 25 January 2011 | 0 Comments

Today I managed to get embroiled in a small Twitter debate, which is rare for me. Usually I am all about the telling of bad jokes, musing on the music I listen to and boring people with links to this blog. I rarely say anything worth disagreeing with, because most of the time I am [...]

Retail Anxiety

General,Net hate 8 January 2011 | 5 Comments

Walking through York City Centre is starting to become a slightly depressing thing to do. When I first came to York there were any number of shops that catered to my interest, but nowadays the only remaining shop of remote interest among the sea of fashion boutiques, cafes and other sundry places of zero interest [...]

Generic end of year post

Comedy,Demon Pigeon,Film,General,Music,Nanowrimo,Net hate,Net joy,Smoking,TV,Writing,Year of Health 23 December 2010 | 1 Comment

For the most part I’ve been taking December as a ‘month off the Internet’, save for the occasional pop round the door of Twitter or Facebook to say hello, or tell crap jokes which then get ignored or scorned upon. It’s been refreshing, and I’m not really sure how much I’ve really missed it, but [...]

Impatience and Virgin

Demon Pigeon,General,Net hate 8 June 2010 | 1 Comment

It has now been six days since my missive to Virgin Media, and I have yet to have a response. I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them until the end of play tomorrow, and then I am going to call them and tell them to come get their stuff. [...]

Service please

As I mentioned before, I am really suffering with writers block at the moment. I have managed to write one thing though, a bit of a missive to Virgin Media for the terminally awful piece of shit they call ‘service.’ I thought I might post it here, just on the off-chance that I can later [...]

Blood Update 2

General,Net hate,Writing 17 November 2009 | 8 Comments

Not gonna be much in the way of blogging today, as I am busy writing the first few issues of Blood On The Motorway.  I think once it is up and running I want to post new entries at least twice a week, so I am aiming to get a good 12 or so in the [...]

Abnormal Service Resumed

Admin Stuff,General,Net hate,Net joy,Writing 3 September 2009 | 4 Comments

So that was interesting.  The whole 7 days experiment was, I think it’s safe to say, pretty successful, although I will admit defeat on the timescale. I forgot how little I am on the computer over the weekend, and the fact that I had an OU assignment due in at the same time. But overall [...]

Face in book.

Net hate,Net joy 19 April 2008 | 5 Comments

I must admit that while I do have a facebook account, it’s not something that occupies a huge amount of my time. There are too many irritating things about it. I for one am constantly bombarded with requests to do this or that, or bite another zombie, or take a movie taste challenge. To be [...]
