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 […]
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 […]
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: 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 […]
Oh dear. There is a combination of late night Thai food and beer in my gut and they seem to have collaborated in a tag team effect to make today difficult as they sit there churning like an over enthusiastic cement mixer. I’m fairly sure this sort of thing didn’t used to bother me, but […]
The reason a blog hasn’t happened yet today is because I’ve put some new material on my podcast about the cuts and you can have it all here for free: iTunes: http://bit.ly/atUeGD (this may change in an hour or so, as iTunes hasn’t actually added it yet. But I will update. Fear not blog peoples! […]
Its only 11.30am and I’ve managed to be a huge wuss once already today. Not entirely knowing what I was attending, but knowing it was against the cuts, I travelled along to spot someone with an orange umbrella outside the Ritz at 9.30am this morning, to await further instructions with fellow dissenters. Already this mere […]
