Kicking Myself Up The Arse
Yet again, I approach this blog with the shame-faced ignominy of a so-called "blogger" who knows they haven't been blogging for quite some time. To those loyal few of you who give my journal an interested glance as you scan through your Friends page, I issue to you the heartiest of apologies. And as always, this has not been due to constraints on ( Read more... ) -

Again, I haven't posted in a while. It's quarter to four in the morning, and I'm as awake as can be. Which is annoying, as it means I'll sleep in until some ridiculous hour later today. As I write, my dad is downstairs heavy with the flu and a bad spate of tonsillitis, trying to sleep his illness off on the sofa. Can't help but feel sorry for him; ( Read more... ) -

Working in the bookshop today. Rain hasn't abated since this morning, despite occasional breaks in the clouds. Business hasn't been forthcoming, and so I have lacked human company for quite a while. Although I have access to the internet, it's like being on holiday in Bognor Regis with a group of Swiss economists, and the only evening entertainment ( Read more... ) -

Funnily enough, just after John noted the need of the United Kingdom to seperate itself from United States global foreign policy, I recieved an e-mail from avaaz.org informing its members that David Miliband, the new Foreign Secretary, has asked the organisation to collate a series of questions and comments (from its members) which he can use as ( Read more... ) -

The country has become a peculiarly interesting place. The current Prime Minister was elected into power by his predecessor, rather than through the democratic consensus of a wide margin of the electorate; which is the usual, legitimate, somewhat more orthodox way of getting into power. I don't know of anyone who voted for him. If anyone does, ( Read more... ) -

Ta to Joe for the link...as with most tests, in my opinion, this is rather wrong..but hey...all in fun...
The Everything Test
There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.
Traditionally, online tests would ask certain ( Read more... ) -

Well, this is my first post from my new PC; a Dell computer, running on Windows Vista. Pretty nifty features, and as you can imagine its a shedload faster than my laptop, which was on its last legs anyway. 138gb hard drive, 14gb of which I've taken up in the past four days or so. I'm also making more of an effort to back my stuff up on my pen drive ( Read more... ) -

The events in Virginia have naturally struck a chord with our collective consciousness. Cho Seung-Hui, through his hate-fuelled killings and pre-prepared "multimedia manifesto", has managed to get his message of loneliness and revulsion at society out into the world. Another isolated, dangerous individual who sees no way other than violence to give ( Read more... ) -

Looks like Iran isn't as stupid as I thought they were - they've been gracious enough to release our sailors; as a "gift", apparently. That bloody Admenijad doesn't know when to keep his sodding mouth shut, but heck, this is a good turn of events. Things didn't go on as long as expected, which is always handy ( Read more... ) -

Well, another post has been long overdue. Just as a note, my journal additions will now also be uploaded to my facebook page, so that I may flount my insanity to all and sundry. How I adore the Information Age.
Went for a wee walk earlier on, as I'd not crossed the threshold of my front door for two days and thus felt that a bit of a toddle was ( Read more... )
