In just over 48 hours voting will begin on the east coast of America for what will be the tightest and dirtiest election polling day in American history. Four years ago the lack of a decisive result on the night seemed like a constitutional crisis, now it is almost assured and generally assumed that […]
The death of John Peel was a shock. I went out for lunch and when I came back he was gone, and every radio station in the land was playing ‘Teenage kicks’, some times twice in an hour.
Of all the recent public figures whose death has made an impression on the public […]
…more sober and less tired I might blog about…
… the very boring men I met at D’s house party this weekend, one of whom as well as being very boring was also bordering on the offensive - a Canadian Republican who described Kylie as “old and skanky”.
…How I’m too polite.
…The difference between how people treat […]

At least two people threw up (neither of which were me), one into his cat-in-the-hat hat, seems a shame really. As far as I know nothing got broken and neither […]
We’re having a party; in fact we’re having a house-warming-hat-party, tonight. It’s either going to be fabulous or disastrous or a mixture of both. There will be much hat wearing, there will be much drinking, there will be much socialisng and in the way of all parties it is likely to be as […]
I’m much more contemplative and retrospective at this time of year than at any other point. It’s something to do with the changing of the seasons and a lot to do with, although January is the start of the year, from the age of 4 through to 22 it’s been September & October that […]
I’ve not been myself recently. My reactions and responses to events, to situations, to people have been slightly off kilter. It’s been a bit like wondering around without my contacts in - the world’s been fuzzy and out of focus, I know what is out there because I have seen it with my […]
