Morning after

January 17, 2008

I went to visit my friend Nuttman, who I have mentioned before. Nuttman and I have very different modus operandi when it comes to planning and executing an evening out. He, in an effort to maximise the party potential of the evening, will complete much of his alcohol consumption before leaving the house. Whereas I, [...]

The old man

January 16, 2008

I had seen him a few moments before, from the vantage point of my first floor window where I was sat working, reasonably diligently. He had walked passed a few times, looking around as if he had lost something. It slowly became clear to me that the ‘something’ that was lost, was in fact himself. [...]

A temporary glimmer of hope

January 15, 2008

Once the sobbing had subsided to a more manageable level, I gathered my thoughts sufficiently to undertake some research as to what I should do next about my damaged macbook screen. Whilst browsing various Internet forums, I found one useful post which asked if the user had bought the machine with a credit card, as [...]

January 14, 2008

They say you can learn a lot about yourself in a crisis. It is at times like this that the false bravado and fake exterior we routinely put on show are stripped away to leave the real you exposed for all the world to see. I am not afraid to say, that as the coffee [...]

Christmas spirit

January 8, 2008

The first sign that something was wrong was the flashing blue light behind me. The police car pulled alongside me and the policeman signalled to me to pull over, which I did immediately, by meandering out of the road and onto the pavement, where I stood perfectly still. “What exactly,” began the policeman, “do you [...]

Fighting Talk

January 7, 2008

Christmas can be a time of great stress on the family unit. Raised tensions can cause people to say things that perhaps they would not under normal circumstances, and this is how it began. “You’re going down, I’m telling you now. All the way down to Chinatown!” yelled my opponent. I wanted to point out [...]

Facebook

January 5, 2008

As it is a New Year I have decided to fully embrace some new technology. This will involve a revamp of the site in the next couple of weeks, plus, I have learned that some of the blogs I read are now available via a feed on Facebook, and the only way I could do [...]

Woolies

January 4, 2008

“All I’m saying is that surely it wouldn’t be difficult to open a new till for people like me who just want a lottery ticket? I had to queue for ages with people in front of me buying all sorts of stuff, for Christmas and that, and I only wanted a lottery ticket.” I had [...]
