We were at the eels gig on Saturday night at the Manchester academy. A fine gig I might add with E and the band in fine form. We did however, experience one of the many things that irritate me at gigs. There are a lot of things that irritate at gigs and I assume these [...]
The Unwanted
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
Thought that I would point everyone in the direction of a piece by Joe Sacco in todays Guardian. A tale of African refugees in Malta, a frank and honest piece. I love Joe Sacco’s work, my favourite is Palestine which I thought was fantastic. Have read of his latest and then search out more: Joe [...]
Computer age

I have inherited an iPhone 3G after Shelley obtained the fried gold which is the iPhone 4 this week. I can even post to my blog via my phone which is a vast technological leap forward for me as up to recently my phone was over 4 years old. Testing out the blogging app by [...]

The World Cup is almost upon us and although I have let the football bug slip for the last few years mainly due to a disgust about the amount of money involved I am looking forward to watching the tournament.

Wow. What a week it’s been. I have to admit that this is the most interested I have been in a General Election since I was entitled to vote. I make no secret of my alliances and the fact I’ve been actively campaigning in High Peak for the Greens has been an experience. I attended [...]
Overkill

Do you ever have one of those days at work where you just have that much to do that your brain shuts down and you end up spending half an hour completing a Zombie attack survival check sheet. I should know better.
Digital Love
Thursday, April 8th, 2010
If you are looking for a single reason to challenge the current political system in this country then you only have to look at the way the Digital Economy bill was passed through parliament last night. This is a piece of legislation which takes away your right to be innocent until proven guilty if your [...]
