DR 5 is bad for your health.
I punched a Luas once.
In fairness, the Luas was being kind of a dick.
Well, the Luas itself wasn't, obviously. I'm not so short sighted as to attribute the petty frustrations of everyday life to inaminate objects. I am, however, apparently short sighted enough not to think through the immediate and negative consequences of punching half inch thich ( Read more... ) -

In other news my stay in London is now likely to be happening from the 16th July till the end of August, or possibly later. -
Leave of Absence
It seems increasingly likely that I will be London-bound relatively soon, for a reasonably protracted period of time.
At present, the probable interval is from June 25th till July 21st. Although I may be back for short, weekend-centred intervals, it's best to assume that I will be effectively absent from any and all of my regular commitments (games ( Read more... ) -

How do you like your coffee; black, sweet, contenantal-style or previously ingested?
The answer, it would seem, is obvious. And yet, I put it to you, that it may depend on who, or what, has done the ingesting and, not to put too fine a point on it, the associated egesting.
It came up over lunch the other day, that the lads (as the four post-doctoral ( Read more... )
