We found 35 scrolls. Scrolls we hadn't seen before, scrolls which hadn't seen the light of day. As the world's foremost scholar, this came as a shock. I had to go through each and descern their authenticity, their quality, their worth. He was right to leave them behind, let's say that.We also found 121 official … Continue reading The Island

On everything.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Actually, I'm writing in floods of tears on a dead platform to an audience of no-one. All is clearly well. It is of course all a question of luck, thinking of all the money I've frittered on the lottery brings that home to me now, not my vacation in Mexico. … Continue reading On everything.

Briefing RoomDCI Plook -"Those of you who know Mr Hummels will know that he is a shapeshifter, ethereal and somewhat un-pindown-able. So for Mr Hummels to not be himself, is par for the course. Rumours that he shares his identity with some capitalist shill, a no-mark, lifeless drone, operating on Edinburgh's Southside, have been quashed … Continue reading Limbo
AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
AGM Transcrit Mr Hummels - Introductory remarks As I've pursed over the dwindling fortunes of Mr Hummels, I've come to realise that certain things will either happen, or as the case may be, they won't. Equally, it can be said that certain things will happen when you think that they won't, or won't happen when … Continue reading AGM Transcript: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and San Jose del Pacifico Trip Report
Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
I recently wrote, in a bit of a fraught state, about the death of Scott Hutchinson. Like many other fans I've tried to excavate the loss of a hero by pouring over the archives of alternate projects, B-sides, interviews and the old classics. The more I watch and listen, the more things seem to make … Continue reading Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.
World Cup 2018 – Day 9 – 14 – Round-up
As the teams start to drop like flies and my coverage becomes more and more negligent, you may start to wish that it wasn't thirty degrees outside. That way we could get on with our duties with no fuss. I could write endlessly into the abyss and you could focus on your work rather than … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 9 – 14 – Round-up
World Cup 2018 – Day 8
Summer in the British Isles is a curious thing, you spend months wishing for it in all its glory and then spend the days inside watching football when it arrives. Or I do, anyway. In an effort to avoid this exact situation, I made plans to excommunicate myself. A timely homage to Stalinist Russia. My … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 8

So, things have moved swiftly along in the election. In that absolutely nothing has changed.

New Perspective Required. Apply within.
I recently attended the Psychedelics for Psychology lecture at the UCL. The evening consisted of talks from some of the new pioneers in Psychedelic research in the field of Psychology. I was attending in a non-student, non-academic, why-are-you-here-actually? capacity which put me initially on edge. It is a long time since my student days, days which were … Continue reading New Perspective Required. Apply within.
Shed Stories 2#
The exterior of the shed was bleached white and yet defiantly brown, the roof above it seemed to be white too, though it was certainly black. The shed seemed to be collapsing on itself, slowly folding inwards, each slat loosely stuck to the one above, the door permanently ajar. In front of the shed a … Continue reading Shed Stories 2#
