This is a true story. Tenses may have been jumbled in an effort to maintain the corporeal sense of time which one feels when attending an appointment. Moreover, I've not got the energy to edit it too much at this stage. The following takes place a quick walk from Baker Street, past the famous … Continue reading The Salon

Editorial – The new face and direction of Mr Hummels
I press the 'write' button haphazardly, the thought of spending an hour on a ramble which is below an innate desired standard is almost enough to stop me from beginning. Another article to add to the pages of drafts which this site saves and I will never finish. This could be a familiar trope, I … Continue reading Editorial – The new face and direction of Mr Hummels
Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
This marks the first of a series of interviews which may or may not happen. This, the first, comprises of Mr Hummels, synonymous editor at large of soon to be global MrHummels.com (Formerly or still MrHummels.wordpress.com) grilling the future Mr Hummels who is endowed with contentment, fulfillment and success. The interview is meta as fuck … Continue reading Interview: Reflections on an imagined future
Autumn
The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns. The summer has been fraught with wishes and movement. I've been back up to Edinburgh, making changes to life here … Continue reading Autumn
Dear: The Right
Dear The Right, After our recent meetings I'd like to bring up a few points, which I hope don't offend you too much. The dinner we shared was lovely, it may be a last hurrah as I move predictably towards vegetarianism. A few points came up though, which if I'm totally honest I'd like you … Continue reading Dear: The Right
Boiling Point
I've been sitting here for around five minutes contemplating what exactly to write. I know what I would like to say, but not how to say it. I've just read some short stories by a good friend of mine which are excellent, the type of excellent which act like a frag grenade and stun any … Continue reading Boiling Point
Hung Parliament Purgatory: Heaven and Hell. Whole foods and Hospitals.
So that's that. The election wrapped up dramatically to reveal exactly what we were told was going to happen had happened but in dramatic circumstances. Jeremy Corbyn has won and lost. Theresa May lost and yet still won. Assuredly the most British of elections. And while nothing will rid the shame from Theresa Mays legacy, … Continue reading Hung Parliament Purgatory: Heaven and Hell. Whole foods and Hospitals.
Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
8 days is not a long time. Try living in the UK. (This was an axed Smiths line.) You may have been bored before you even began, Morrissey, but it isn't going to stop me from writing about this bloody election before you can ruin it with some ill advised remarks about terrorism. Anyway, the … Continue reading Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it. My coverage of this election hasn't been as exhaustive than I had originally intended but then, I ain't a professional journalist. I have a terrible job to go to. Then again, there also hasn't been a lot … Continue reading Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
This muggy, rainy London evening I had the opportunity to take in two intellectual titans debate. The topic for debate was something which has been in the forefront of my own mind for sometime and has been brought up by those I'm close to also. It's something you've probably considered recently too - "How the … Continue reading Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
