So it has taken me a while, but I have finally figured out what I dislike about pizzas. It’s the burning of the roof of the mouth. The nature of pizza, with its hot, sticky, burny topping and cool underside, ensures the burn is not uniform. Most foods burn the tongue and […]

I am the second left foot;
I am a mouth with the lingering taste of toe;
I am an ignorant thought escaped from its cage;
Je suis le faux pas.

I’m not sure of the specific nature of peak hour traffic light systems and algorithms, but I do know that outside of certain peak envelopes, time sensors are done away with in favour of weight sensors embedded in the bitumen. From a scooter perspective, some sensors are more sensitive than others and depending on […]

I really don’t like walking behind girls who are walking by themselves at night. I can almost inherently feel their discomfort manifested telekinetically. To diffuse the situation, I power walk past them until I have reached a suitable distance between us, generally whilst whistling a nice tune and avoiding deep throaty growls and […]

For Christmas, I was given a subscription to Paste Magazine, a music, literature and film magazine from the States with a decidedly alternative slant. Each mag comes with a sample CD and I have been listening to get an idea of the changing face of alternative music. Although it’s not my style, it […]

This is my acronym to counter the likes of WAYN, Ringo, Zorpia, Bebo and every other freakin’ service for staying in touch with old and generally irrelevant acquaintances. To invite me to one of these services requires knowledge of my email address, so just send me a email if you want to stay […]

Well, that day has rolled around and I have to look back at the last 365 days and question whether anything has ‘really’ come of it. But every time I think that getting older isn’t so great…it sure beats the alternative. So here’s to 25…my new number of relevance. Alternatively, I am […]

A friend sent me an email with a couple of these little ‘film previews with a twist’. They are pretty amusing, but beg the question of how someone gets onto something like this. Check them out for yourself…(I like the Reservoir Dogs one)

So last night I was contently sleeping (at least I assume) when I woke up in a start with a chest that felt like it had collapsed on itself and no breath. I’m not quite sure what happened, whether I choked on some phlegm momentarily or whether I had an attack of sorts. […]
