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.

Revolution! @the V and A Museum
Last Saturday I decided to visit the "You Say You Want A Revolution?" at the Victoria and Albert museum in London. As you may have noticed from other posts upon this fare page, I value my days-off rather highly. As I'm sure most people do. I also dislike spending large sums of money without due … Continue reading Revolution! @the V and A Museum
Tube Strikes
The London I've experienced since after Christmas has heartened and endeared me to the city unexpectedly, as the dust, and possibly snow, settles over the festive period - London has been unified. Rarely does it happen that a metropolis can be united together with a single thought. Yet truly these Tube strikes clearly irked an … Continue reading Tube Strikes
Instructions for the Arts
Tonight is the type of night when I could easily cry, or explode somehow. There seems to be a palpable haze of tension, a type of vague pressure looming. I've been inside most of the day, had an extra cup of coffee than I usually would and have spent the evening in fairly poor company … Continue reading Instructions for the Arts
Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.
I just had the pleasure, or rather the heady mix of pleasure and pain, at watching "Grannies Guide to the Modern World". A program on Channel 4, which rehashes various internet sensations into a real TV program featuring chumly old Bernard Manning. It was delightfully funny, perhaps mainly as I watched it with my Dad … Continue reading Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.
Brexit on your chin
This is a quick word of warning to my Fellow Scots regarding the recent Brexit vote. It may be of some interest to bystanders who are unaffected (?). I voted Yes and Remain. To the No voters who voted Remain, this is how it feels to have brexit on your chin. Scotland needs to think … Continue reading Brexit on your chin
Trump, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’16.
Anger seeping, holes picked and glaring, teeth barred, spittle, with eyes staring. Chest out, Exposed claws and horns blaring, Blood spills, heart beats cease with flesh tearing. Raised voices, and lack of caring, Emotions high and facts hold no bearing. That was the mood, as Wall building, overbearing Wig began declaring that we need to … Continue reading Trump, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’16.
Discarded Statuses of Birthday Gratitude | Review and Insight
I went with - "Thanks for the birthday wishes chums." Replacing what I meant - Thanks for the birthday messages, blah, blah, blah. Or - Thanks for the birthday messages, had some really strong opiates to celebrate. - Thanks for the birthday messages, got in a right state, though clearly I wasn't head of state … Continue reading Discarded Statuses of Birthday Gratitude | Review and Insight
Independence
During the lead up to Scotlands failed independence bid, i felt myself becoming more and more impassioned by the debate. However, I wasn't in the country to argue with people in pubs or attend rallies etc., Instead I found myself spouting rubbish into a notebook and creating silly pictures on the Websites. Here is a … Continue reading Independence
