Kick Ass Angels

If there is such a thing as karma then myself, PB and Mickey now have enough of it stacked up to allow us to push over several children, kick some puppies and punch an old lady. Not that I believe in that sort of thing, but there is a small part of me that after […]

Using a series of short movements I’ve managed to get the laptop from my desk to my bed without remotely being horizontal once. This is the sort of achievement on a day like today, where I like to tell myself that essentially I’ve already over stepped the mark of greatness and may as well take […]

This weekend I have the duty of feeding my friend Mat’s cat. I like how that unintentionally rhymes. It has, several times, sat on Mat and I believe all involved were pleased with the rhyming eloquence of the situation. I’m very happy to feed Zeppy, as over the years, Mat and Hannah have looked after […]

Galway pt 3 / Bonfire Night

Its only bloomin’ Guy Fawkes night tonight and I will be sadly having to view most of it from a plane window. I’m not sure if this will be brilliant or hugely terrifying, with thoughts that my the last thing I ever see is a banger heading into the left propeller wing with a dazzling […]

Galway Round 2

It is still raining. Its been raining since I arrived in Ireland and its yet to stop. Not even for a bit. Just relentless downpour. In a way, I admire the weather. If I rained that often, that consistently, I’d need a few minutes breather here and there. The cloud equivalent of a fag break. […]

Didn’t think I’d get a chance to blog today but it turns out there is wifi in the flat I’m staying in so my notions of avoiding the internet for a few days have been sharply put to rest. I won’t say its a good thing as part of me needs a few days of […]

Not A Musical Expedition

I wanted to make a delve into music journalism today by explaining the virtues and important of the Pharcyde’s 1995 album Labcabincalifornia, after having my annual rediscovery of it last night. I was going to explain how it was the hip hop album that proved my theory to my friend Pat that there is hip […]

So far Starbucks in Westfield is doing many right things. Firstly, they are playing The Shins. Well done them. Secondly, because its in Westfield, they may have tried to lure me to pay for BT Openzone first, but being a smartypants (yes I am, and I don’t mean I have underwear made of sweets), I […]

Two Things (Plus Bonus Thing)

Two things: Thing 1. I watched the X-Factor for the first time this season this morning. I don’t feel like I need to explain to you why I did it, but lets say a level of curiosity, a severe hangover and an inability to cope with the other channel showing Fearne Cotton gazing into space […]

I wanted to mention a lot of things in today’s blog but a combination of a hangover and wasting time looking round places that are advertised as 3 bedroom houses but in fact only have one bedroom and two cupboards – unless the cupboards leads to Narnia, you cannot live in it! – or somewhere […]
