Alix and I are heading up to York tomorrow for the Jorvik Viking Festival. Mead swilling and sword swinging antics are sure to follow. I'll post any decent pictures I get with the camera phone. I have a strange vision of me sitting in a pub full of Vikings playing Hnefatafl and listening to Battleheart ( Read more... )

Lopsided temples and crazy ash-barrels. Comet-vomit-force. Lying mirror narcissistic goblin grope. There seems to be an arcing handset. I wonder if it answers on the third ring. Do my fingers look small to you? Where are the limes? Where do the flies come from? There were people queuing outside a shoe shop at ten a.m. on a Sunday the other week. ( Read more... )

The snow-bound eagle bled. That trumps ruin. Symbol caretaker. Dance with edges and sing with vice. Squeeze heraldic simian past and leak out the fruit that gathers at raw knees. Dreams eat tomorrow. Twelve and one dome-crowing after-feast. Do the breath-gurgle flail. Whips on sores. Worship the dead ancient stone warbler. Place paper snacks in the ( Read more... )

I know most people don't subscribe to my theory that there are flying whales in the upper atmosphere of Venus that frolic in the soupy cloud cover.

This was demonstrably false as it was an ( Read more... )

Gordon Brown used the words "New World Order". Maybe the Italians and their fascism fetish were right after all.
I'd like to take this moment to inaugurate myself as the chief military advisor to the reverend sheik Tariq of the Region of THUD in the state of THAT. FNORD.

It would appear that no one is taking this Illuminatus INVASION seriously. So be it. I read something about Mr T Blair urging us to be a nation of warriors or something of that ilk. The Chinese are launching missiles at their own satellites for chest beating kudos. The damn USA are kidnapping Iranian diplomats. If we launch a probe before 2012 we ( Read more... )

Yarrrr! I shall be going to the Jorvik Viking Festival at York in February! Bring on the mead and drunken sword flailing antics. Hmm, I guess I should dust off my copy of Steve Pollington's old english tutorial and learn a few taunts. I wonder if there's an online repository of old Icelandic swearwords.
I can't wait :)

It's looking grim folks:
