Disgust

May 15, 2007

On Saturday evening I went to the local Arts Center with some friends to see Richard Herring’s show, “Menage á un”. Do not worry, it is not one of those Arts centers. He is a comedian and it was a stand-up comedy show. Only about a third of the show was actually about wanking. Anyway, [...]

Curing Cancer

May 14, 2007

People who are trying find a cure for cancer are obviously doing a good thing. It would save untold misery around the world if a cure could be developed, or preventative measures be found that stopped the disease occurring. Which is why my eye was drawn to a story last week about a potential cause [...]

The Good Friend Theory

May 11, 2007

I have a theory about friends. I have always been fortunate to have lots of them, even though I know for a fact that some of them only hang around with me because I am such good company. However, over the years I have noticed that it’s actually impossible to maintain a large number of [...]

Physio

May 10, 2007

I have been receiving Physiotherapy treatment from a rather attractive young woman in a local private hospital. For my dislocated shoulder, I have not broken another bit of me. There is a very difficult line to draw when talking to an attractive female health professional. It lies between giving an honest assessment of the pain [...]

Paying a visit

May 9, 2007

When you are sat on the Tube there is nothing quite so desperation-inducing as the need to go to the toilet. For a Number One, I should clarify. With the lack of public toilets on the London Underground, and the poor standard of train toilets, it is quite a common occurrence to arrive at a [...]

False promises

May 8, 2007

Like most people who work in an office, my lunch-time tends to consist of a dash to the supermarket or local store in order to pick up something to eat at my desk. Which is why I utterly detest sandwich makers. I do not mean the people who make fresh sandwiches right in front of [...]

The War Against Terror

May 4, 2007

This week saw the four year anniversary of the “end of hostilities in Iraq” (Dubbya’s words, not mine). Obviously this was a bit premature, as The War Against Terror has continued unabated ever since. The best part about The War Against Terror is that it provides possibly the greatest acronym for a military campaign since [...]

You know where to come – Take 3

May 3, 2007

This is the final instalment of chats with Comet, as I am bored of editing them into blog-friendly format. If you have not been included, then, well, tough. This blog is all about me, not massaging the egos of casual readers. There are quite a few of them though, so rather than fill up the [...]

You know where to come – Take 2

May 2, 2007

Last Friday I wrote about all the fun I had been having a Comets expense, and suggested you should all go and have a chat with their online Instant Messaging Service. I am pleased to report that this is exactly what you did. Below I have summarised some of the best chats I received by [...]

Spring

May 1, 2007

This time of year is the bit that I hate the least. It is just warm enough that we can shed a few layers of clothing, yet cool enough that you can sleep at night without dreaming murderous thoughts about those that cause global warming. Some people like this time of year because of the [...]
