So, it seems that after my post yesterday that I now have a shiny new phone, identical to Ellen’s, and I have spent much of the last twelve hours loading it with apps, and giggling inanely like a schoolboy. I would offer you a review of this lovely and rather splendid piece of equipment, but [...]
Well I’ve been exercising for nearly a week now, and I think it’s starting to have an effect. I’ve started off slowly. On the first day I did 25 sit ups and 10 push ups (proper ones mind, not silly little ones that involve your knees) and I’ve been slowly increasing it so now I [...]
Sorry for the lack of updates over the last week, very bad form I know. Rest assured though that we are both still here and doing well, now on day 8 of healthy eating and for me, not smoking. I had a bit of a hairy day today when I forgot to put on my [...]
And so we come to that part of the year when the blogosphere goes bat shit crazy for lists, like a cumulative High Fidelity support group, and I am no exception. I know that there is still a month left of the year, but since this morning I was ordered by Ellen to do no [...]
One of the things I love most about the interweb is the fact that it has rendered the traditional waiting time for American imports to worm their way onto our networks obsolete. This weekend I *acquired* the first episode of ‘V’, the reimagining of the cult sci fi series. I was never really a fan [...]
(Warning! This post gets a bit schmaltzy towards the end, so don’t read on if you don’t want me to get all emo on you.) Simon Amstell is a very very funny man. Crammed into the rafters of York’s Grand Opera House (a slightly misleading name) last night, Ellen and I witnessed a man spending an [...]
Woke up this morning to find that a writing hero of mine, John Hughes, has died aged 59 of a heart attack. Unlike a lot of recent celebrity deaths, this one has actually shaken me a little. Two of his movies, Ferris Bueller and Breakfast club, hold separate but equally important places in my development [...]
I’ve been thinking about the recent silliness that has erupted in Ireland since their clearly lunatic government decided that free speech is all well and good as long as nobody who believes in God is ever offended by anything, ever. Lots of groups are wondering how best to respond to the new blasphemy laws, and [...]
As I mentioned before, I’ve decided to start a piece of online fiction, serialised for you dear readers for free. I’ve bought the website, the bloody marvellous Jonic has set up some back end stuff for it. I will be moving the blog there soon, and I hope to get the first installment up in [...]
There are going to be some fairly major changes around here pretty soon. I have bought my own domain finally, so I will be leaving the hallowed terrain of 100yen soon for the sunnier climbs of www.bloodonthemotorway.com which will soon be the hub for all things me. I have pretty big plans for the place eventually, not [...]
