Jonathan Ross, Russell Brand & Terry Pratchett

No, it’s ok, not some strange and unexpected Discworld twist to the current storm in a media teacup…
Thank you for the comments on the last post.  Sorry I haven’t replied to them there, but hopefully saying thanks here will cover it.  :o)
I am still, I’m afraid, in a fairly low mood – hence the strange, [...]

When hope comes apart at the seams

More whining I’m afraid.  Feel free to go and organise your airing cupboard/ file your bills for the last decade in alphabetical then chronological order/ construct imaginative fantasies about the secret sex-life of the fluff down the back of your sofa instead of reading this.  (Yeah, like you needed my permission…)

The big red ‘A’

If, like me, you spend more time than is probably good for you ambling around the blogosphere, you’ve probably noticed that quite a few blogs are including a badge which consists of a stylised red A.  I think I first noticed it on Mentally Interesting: The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive, and I’ve seen [...]

Bad decision making?

I’ve just been watching from my window.  It’s a thing I like to do quite often – look down from on high and watch the world go by.  This is what I have just seen:
A woman getting out of her car and walking, in the rain, to the front entrance of the building next to [...]

Arse over tit

No, not a description of my sexual preferences…
Well, I’ve finally had my long-awaited and much-stressed-over appointment with General Psychiatrist.  For those of you who don’t know, General Psychiatrist is my brilliantly witty and massively creative pseudonym for the general psychiatrist who occasionally makes a half-hearted attempt to treat me.
Things did not begin especially well – [...]

It was 20 years ago today

Right, I’ve nicked this idea from the experimental chimp, or, as he puts it, I have adopted it as a meme.
(And, you know, we should all give some thought to adopting memes.  Do you know that every day thousands of memes are suddenly ignored when their owners lose interest in them?  Many of them will [...]

Blah, blah, blah

Right, bit of a stop-gap post this – I have a few things to say, but I’m lacking the ability to work what I want to say up into a witty, insightful and engaging post.  So no change there, then.
After my walk on Thursday I’ve had a bit of a physical collapse – nothing serious [...]

I went for a walk

Well, why not, I thought.  It was a nice sunny day.
For a brief while, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.  Or at least, not so long as you looked in the right direction…

 

How’s it going?

Well, I guess I’d have to say that I’m doing ok, but not great.
I’ve been sticking to my plan of getting up at 9-30.  Sunday into Monday I basically didn’t sleep.  I probably snatched a few minutes here and there.  I was trying to read, but it was hard to concentrate, and then I got [...]

Alistair Campbell: Cracking Up

Alistair Campbell is, I’m sorry to say, one of the people in this world that I just can’t stand.  He’s a man who, as far as one can tell, started life with strongly held left-wing views.  Later on, of course, he became synonymous with the “mustn’t frighten the tory tabloids” approach of new Labour, which [...]
