Don’t comment on anything, no seriously I mean it, don’t say a goddamn thing that might even possibly lead to any kind of philosophising whatsoever.

I thought perhaps I should, for the benefit of those who may happen upon this sad waste of webspace and consider it’s endless uselessness that I might refer to that touchy subject of mental illness, Yes it’s an unfortunate fact that some of us so happen to suffer from it, but the few points I’d [...]

One of the main benefits of being single is being able to spend so much time watching the Parliament Channel and get away with it (another victory for the vow there…see what I did?) and I’ve always enjoyed Prime Ministers Questions the most.
As a spectacle of democracy in action its impressive but as a lively [...]

My friend Stef actually got to meet the Matthew Good at his Thunder Bay performance and I’m very jealous.

12pm today see’s the beginning of the first 48 hour strike by postal workers; I’d like to wish them all the best of luck (how much easier it is to be clear cut on these issues when you’re not stuck right in the middle)

The unnamed patient “had no history of head injury or loss of consciousness; his past medical record was unremarkable, and he [...]
