I nearly made it through eight whole hours in Petersfield without having random abuse thrown at me only to be thwarted in the dwindling last moments of my protracted stay as a passing driver decided to yell some illegible abuse at me as I walked along the pavement.
Seriously, people think I make this up, truth [...]

I’ve been trawling through most of the pictures of June’s wedding and I thought this was one that made me smile enough to deserve being put somewhere where.

The opening scenes as the dying soldier relates the bravery of Macbeth to a the commissar that is King Duncan sets the tone for this excellent interpretation of the Scottish play, it is darker than dark, disturbing to the point of frightening, passionate like teenage lovers, powerful like raging torrents, unrelenting like a full military [...]

In my attempts to reconcile my slightly Anarchic desires with the idea of state socialism I have come across an interesting and little discussed concept decribed in the title of this post.

I attempted to integrate with society tonight, I attempted to connect, to be part of the smiling, laughing, happy crowds.
Alone, without company, without energy, without conviction I stumbled and mumbled through a few numbers and realised just how alienated I have become from the world.

I have reached my final decision on the strike issue and here it is.
