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

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
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
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.

Shipbuilding – 2 weeks left.
Two weeks until voting begins. Another day, another piece of self-imposed disappointment. Life slowly ebbs away doesn't it.

General Election – Week 1
So, I've failed you already. The intention to cover this parade daily is not easy or interesting. So I've decided to do it as and when I feel compelled, meaning this will likely be the last post in human history as Nuclear war brews in the South China sea. This pleases me as not only … Continue reading General Election – Week 1
Comentatiat – General Election Day 1
Waking up today and learning, for I was on holiday and slept in late, that there will be a General Election in the coming months was such a thrill that I put it to the darkest recess of my mind. Why worry? I'm in my home trying to relax for the first time in months, … Continue reading Comentatiat – General Election Day 1
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
