The Unfortunately Universal

I hate people. More and more in older age things happen that make me really despise other members of the public. Take last night’s gig for example. There were all the usual reasons that I hate other people at festivals. 1) The fact that no one can ever stand still when watching a band and […]

All a Bit of a Blur

I’m going to see Blur today. That’s really all that matters. In fact I’d be quite happy to leave the blog there before going away to gloat about the rest of my day. I’m properly excited. Not to the level I might wee myself though. Some people use that as an indicator of excitement. I […]

Blog 200

I am about to go any play squash with Tom Craine. I’ve never played squash before, and worse than that, I haven’t played any sports or had any sort of exercise for quite some time. There is a high chance that I am going to injure or kill myself today. I assume from seeing it […]

Shandy and Poppadoms

I’m a bit wasted today. Not for any reason in particular, the most I consumed last night was a shandy, which hasn’t been potent enough to cause any debilitating effect since I was about 9. Saying that, the sugary lemonade does play havoc with my diabetes so in a way, I probably do get a […]

Hot Thing

Its a bit bloody hot isn’t it? That’s what everyone keeps feeling the need to tell me as though I haven’t quite noticed. I suppose it gives them something to talk about when otherwise they would be stumbling for a starting point to conversations. I have spent the last day giving the response to that […]

Cardifficulty

This is a pre-written blog as I’ll be far too busy tomorrow to hack one out. Instead I am writing this in the leisure of my flat after a rather stupid afternoon, whilst watching the Glastonbury highlights. I saw some of Crosby, Stills and Nash last night and tonight’s glimpses of the Prodigy and Blur […]

The Kindness of Strangers

Moments if human kindness are a rarity in London on a weekend. They can often be shocking and should sometimes come with a warning of sorts, just incase it evokes emotions that people aren’t ready to deal with. On a Saturday in Leicester Square the general scummy punters that peruse the area are usually only […]

Napster

I haven’t had much sleep which should mean I’m feeling deliriously tired and generally grumpy, but oddly I am wide awake and rather chirpy. I assume this is to do with sunshine and being so deliriously tired I haven’t yet realised I am deliriously tired. I am expecting that around 4 o clock I may […]

Death of the Jacko

So Michael Jackson’s dead then. People are saying its a bit like when Diana died, everyone remembering where they were when it happened, and a nation in mourning and all that. When Diana died I was on holiday with my family in the States. We had been traveling around and were currently staying in New […]

Now Hat’s What I Call, er, Hats

I’ve just had a small stroll to the Post Office to collect a package. The postman tried to deliver it at 9.30am two days ago, knowing full well I am not up at such a time. Then instead of giving me enough time to don suitable door opening atire, he rang the bell once then […]
