Rough not smooth

Grooo! I missed posting yesterday, as I felt positively rough! Not because I’ve had a big night or anything.  It feels like Freshers’ Flu is going on and on this year.   On the plus side, you all have permission to hate me, because I am coping with all my work!   Every time I get ill at the moment [...]

The fact he was quite so disgusted by my cold, given his own problems, seemed snotty in more than one sense for me at the time. I left the [...]

Big song and dance

Top of t’e t’ursday to ya!
What do people think of my typed Irish accent there?   I’m going to grumble today, because the weather’s bad.   Last night I was playing the role of my fiancee’s number one fan at the Chamber Orchestra concert.   She can sing and play the violin, but last night she was playing the [...]

Incestophobic

My life recently has been fairly uninspiring.   So I think I’m going to write something slightly dodgy today.   As well as getting extremely depressed about the sport (thank goodness for Arsenal!), I spent much of my weekend reading a book for my Aphra Behn (for those who don’t know she was the first female professional writer) special author project called Love Letters [...]

Harry Potty

I finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets yesterday.   My fiancée had been getting me to finally start reading the books, after years of not having participated in the Harry Potter phenomenon.   Why?   Because I’m lame and pompous enough to the believe the deluded thought that I’m not controlled in my likes by popular trend.   This [...]

Monkey Business

Hullo!   Last Tuesday I was buying some bananas at the fruit and veg fair and it started me thinking about monkeys.   How much like monkeys are we?   If Darwin’s to believed, quite a lot.   But until now there has been no scientific proof of this.   Well, thanks to my blog today we can find out [...]

Who wants to be Prince Charming?

I had a really strange experience the other day, strange in this case not being too amusing, but unusual.   It was a lonely Friday, my girlfriend was in Wales (or sheep country), and I was reading through some of my old work; I have attached it in its original glory below.   Please note that it’s [...]

Generic Titles and Fair-trade Bananas

Hello readers!   Or at least “Hello?   Anybody there?”
This is my first blog and, outside the people who I’ve told to read this and those who have to read it anyway (you know who you are), I’m predicting that no one will be currently reading this.   By that logic there is no point in introducing myself [...]
