It lives!

So. What’s happened in the last billion months then?
Well, I’ve spent six weeks working in enfield, Sam has turned two, Em has turned 30, I’ve been to visit Ben an Russ in The North, and I’m now working 3 days a week in Edinburgh.
So not a lot really.
In the real world of [...]

How To Retard a Species

This to me is an upsetting image. People that know me know that I’m a nerd, but perhaps not many know that the common childhood dream of being an astronaut is one that has stayed with me far longer than it perhaps should have. Now I’m not naive – I know I’ve got bugger all [...]

Shut the hell up

Right.
All this is going to be is me spraying some vitriol – if you find that kind of thing tedious then do by all means skip away.
Listening to Radio 4 on the way home today I found they had pasted in a segment from Radio 1s “Newsbeat” in which they asked “young people” (which apparently once [...]

Stuff

You know what makes me really happy? The fact that, since I was a kid, it’s become socially acceptable to be a geek. I think there’s two reasons for this – first of all, i think there’s a hell of a lot more of us in the world these days. Secondly, we make everything work. [...]

Miss Tine Has Bloody Shown Me Up Is What She’s Done

Well.
Lofty goal of a post a day well and truly knackered now, I have been thoroughly shamed by my friend over here who has already made about as many posts as me in half the time. Thanks, person-who-appears-to-wish-to-remain-anonymous, thanks a bloody bunch.
I’ve been on this internet for bloody years, you know. I’ve had blogs aplenty – [...]

Big Day

So the whole “post a day” thing went by the wayside then. Well done me and my work ethic. It’s been busy anyway. We should get the keys for the new house today, so the last week has been packing, packing and more packing. Then there’s all the other things – hiring a van, cleaning [...]

More Filler

I’m sat here with one arm around my son as he stares transfixed at Thomas the Tank Engine. The same episodes that were on when i was a kid, in fact. Life’s pretty good, when you look at it, isn’t it?

Arse

Really fallen a bit behind there. I have something a bit more long form sitting back here, but i’m not happy with the formatting and stuff yet. Frankly i’m a little embarrassed to put some creative writing up rather than the stuff from my own life that’s gone up so far, but i’m sure i’ll [...]

What Have I Done To Deserve This?

How did I get here? It’s a pertinent question, I think, and one that I think about lot. Does anyone PLAN to be a manager in a call centre? I hope not, it displays a depressing lack of imagination.
So why am I doing it then? What lead me to this point. It’s not an obvious [...]
