The Highways AgencyMiddle of the M1 (or if closed, by Junction 15 on the M4) October 2nd 2009 Dear Sir/Madam/Time Stealers/Bastards REF: Last Night’s Shitty Journey Home I am writing about a matter of a certain high degree of importance. I know everyone at the Highways Agency is busy working out exactly where to put […]
Its World Vegetarian Day today, which is the starting point of Vegetarian Awareness Month. What happens on days like this is that I spend a small amount of time feeling like I can lord it over everyone because I, me, Tiernan Samuel Douieb esquire, have never ever eaten meat or fish. This is true. Well […]
I live around the corner from the Rainbow Theatre, a building that since its construction has witnessed many incredible things. The walls could tell you many tales of old film screenings from when it was one of the largest cinema’s in London during the 1930’s. Then during the 60s it held music concerts from the […]
I’m full of snot. I don’t know where its all come from but I have suspicions that someone has built a snot factory within my head and is churning out more than the usual production rate. I’m not really sure why they would do this. Snot has little value in today’s climate. In fact, snot […]
A man came round this morning to help me sort out debt things. I won’t go into it as while its ultimately a good thing this blog is not about money misery and I don’t want you to revel in the thoughts of Barclaycard making me give them fingers or knees as a last resort […]
I’m about to go and eat three tons of molokhia (pronounced as though you are coughing up some serious phlegm) and fatiya (pronounced ‘Tiernan’s favourite Arabic dough parcels’) at Layla’s parents house. I love their feasts and they have that typical Mediterranean/Arabic intention to not let you leave until you have eaten just about everything. […]
My eyes were really full of sleep this morning. I can only assume its some sort of bodily attempt to keep them shut in order to gain even more slumber. I’ve got to do the Comedy Club 4 Kids in a few hours though so that sleep needed to be dealt with. I don’t get […]
I think it says something about the longevity of a relationship when ‘playing doctors and nurses’ actually means giving your partner Lemsips and tucking them up because they’re not very well. Layla’s got a nasty sinus infection and is all bunged up on the sofa making elephantine like blowing nose sounds. Its not very nice […]
There is not much food in our house, and what there is consists of fruit and cake. Not much else, just fruit, and cake. I’d like to think that both those go someway to creating a balanced diet. Fruit is full of vitamins and natural glucose and er, fruit stuff. So no chance of scurvy […]
I really hate headaches. Its Layla’s birthday today so I woke up with her at the stupid time of 6.30am in order to give her my poor man’s present of a card I made and some flowers and make her breakfast before she went to work. My penance for doing such things is that when […]
