When we were younger we would soar across the world, seek out secrets, learn the thoughts, the schemes, the hopes and the dreams of all who lumbered upon the ground. Bear them through the storm-lashed night to our master and whisper them to him in croaking voices. You, Huginn, would always have that inbuilt caution of [...]

One Step Closer to Nowhere

Today was my 27th birthday I actually managed to remember it this time unlike my 26th, which I quite forgot until a day or so afterwards. 27 years and I guess I should probably be writing some twee piece about how older and wiser I am and how life events have unfolded over the past [...]
More of this Sorry Saga

Unfortunately I couldn’t make it down to the courts yesterday not that I would have made much of a difference anyway but it would have been nice to show some support. Pleb’s College has been given it’s marching orders by the County Court and it looks very much that they will be booted out in [...]
Goodbye To All That Then.

And lo’ the sorry saga of AV reform comes to a wretched, miserable close with an outright defeat for the Yes campaign and what you might call a resounding victory for the Status Quo. Cast deeper into the dark depths of utter political despair I’m really at quite a loss of what to do. Perhaps [...]
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It…

Eventually, ground down by the harsh reality of ourselves, we all simply lay down on the pavements and roads, collapsed in the parking lots or in the small grey looking patches of grass that were scattered throughout the urban sprawl that provided us with our playground and simply stopped operating. The naysayers and doom pundits [...]
Tools of Self-Identity

There’s nothing new in filling out ridiculous quizzes and surveys in an attempt to learn something meaningful about oneself; if Cosmo’s been doing it for years then why not Facebook? What Character From Cheers Are You? Which Harry Potter School House Do You Belong To? What Cooked Breakfast Item Are You Most Like? If You Had [...]
Preamble of the Anarchist

Here are the rules of the game, when you do well there will always be someone to tell you it is worthless, when you fail there will always be someone to point and laugh. When you struggle on through there will always be someone to add to the burden, when you collapse there will always [...]
Our apathetic write off, where does it lead?
Posted in Apathy, Climate Change, Disillusion on June 9, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday I was down in Portsmouth for a radio interview and having arrived early decided to get myself a coffee and wilt in the sun, going past the Guild Hall I saw a crowd of young children, some probably aged only 7 years old or so engaged in a form of protest regarding climate change. [...]
The plain sick, The Woebegotten masses and the failure of imagination

Well folks looks like people are still at it, and when I say that I mean looking for peculiar things on the internet, this time the lucky phrase was ‘handicapped giving blowjobs’. De gustibus non est disputandum I guess and with that I’ll leave it well alone. Taking some time out last night and unable [...]

My feelings on those who direct the armed forces into situations in which their lives are at risk are mixed but always strong, that President Bush has the guts to face the people that his war has maimed is something I guess. These pictures are from President Bush’s visit to Brooke army medical centre in [...]
