The bottle
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Riding into work this morning, gagging for a drink I reached down for my water bottle and took a swig. as I rested the bottle on the handlebars I noticed something on the bottle, on closer inspection it looked a bit like dog-shit. Oh no I thought, I’ve had dog shit near my mouth, I’ll [...]
Piss Factory
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
As the world trembles at the thought of a bit of flu. The rest of us trundle on with bills to pay and problems to solve. Let the world be distracted by the rolling news channels from the big pile of shit the capitalist system has left us in, a lot of people haven’t got [...]
This song
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
If you’ve ever followed the link on my blogroll to Another day on earth you’d have found one of the best kept secrets on the Internet. This guy is writing and recording a song every day on the year for a year. I know that it sounds like a quality control nightmare but he is [...]
Statuesque
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Just got home from my first cycling commute to work and I can’t feel my legs. As kermit the frog once said…Its not easy being green. I think I managed ok, when it looked a bit hairy I just stopped and pushed. I also had a few rests. At one point I sat with Ls [...]
Call on me
Friday, April 10th, 2009
From a link at A laptop for every donkey you can customise this piece of British history. Anti terror billboard, I spotted one of these up near work on the way out the other day but didn’t have time to picture it as I was late for the train(as usual), I just read it with [...]
Alice what’s the matter?
Friday, April 10th, 2009
I took L to the Manchester Academy last night to see the Terrorvision Anniversary tour, 15 years since the album – How to make friends and influence people. Probably doesn’t mean a lot to most people but I loved this album in 1994, driving up and down to Portsmouth every weekend with this blasting out [...]
Muscle Museum
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Took the opportunity today to take a day and a half’s holiday and extend the easter weekend to almost a week. Gotta love these God bothering long breaks. We went the the Manchester Museum for our semi regular family trip to see the mummies and the T rex. I always enjoy it, the museum is [...]
My name is Tom
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Wrote to Tom again, Shelley reckons he’s blocked me and all my emails go to his spam folder. Dear Mr Levitt I have no doubt that by now you will have seen the video of the Police attack on Ian Tomlinson shortly before he died at the G20 protest last week. I feel that as [...]
Fuck the Police
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Stories of police brutality are occurring with an alarming regularity these days. Excessive force against legal protesters is now the accepted norm, when did this happen? The way they cleared the climate camp last week with dogs after dark is just a fucking disgrace. Anyone unfamiliar with how they threatened a family picnic last year [...]
View from a hill
Monday, April 6th, 2009
My plan to cycle to work is coming together slowly, I’ve fixed my bike and have been out testing it and making sure being left in the garden for a year(or three) )hasn’t done too much damage and it hasn’t. There are two flaws in my cunning plan however which were exposed to me yesterday [...]
