In a slightly rash move, I’ve just signed up to take part in the Nike 10K on October 8th. I’m on Team North (because we all know that North is best) and I’ll be in the second wave. Now I just have to get fit enough to actually run it…
Is what they’ve forecast for Wednesday. I am concerned. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced temperatures hotter than inside my own grumpsome, turbulent body. What will happen, I wonder? Will the tiny air-con units give up the ghost and cause mass hysteria? Will I involuntarily climb into the fridge? Will I pop?
It’s a worry. Especially […]
So Russell T Davies is creating a Dr Who spin off featuring John Barrowman. At first I had visions of an embarrassingly camp romp through space, but then it was pointed out to me that Russell T Davies simply cannot fail to write compelling drama. How true, thought I, and rooting through good old IMDB […]
Now I’ve discovered freecycle.org, I may never go to a normal shop ever again. Some of the items that people offer are amazing:
Garden gate,black wrought iron
2 large art deco style arm chairs

It’s just too easy to dirtyfy Damien Rice lyrics.

Ah, Friday afternoons…
The biggest downside of moving to London is my current lack of access to a piano. I am without keys, locked out of one of the most enjoyable facets of my life; the thing which inspired, calmed, grounded and sometimes astounded me. My fingers are growing wide and stubby.
I never thought I’d miss it quite […]
Walking home from work is usually a very mundane affair - pop into the shops to get some munchie goodness, watch the teenagers playing football under floodlights, avoid the scary pub, nod at the couple of cheeky kids opposite the stadium, get onto my road, put the key in the door, etc.

As a giant social experiment (and also as a test of my drinking stamina and ability to navigate around the city), I attended three separate social gatherings last night; two south of the river and one quite a long way north.
