Fear the 79% / Why I Will Never Fly Again
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror. ~Orson Welles I am always concerned about, and occasionally terrified by, the people I meet on a day-to-day basis. Despite being usually pleasant, you can never be sure whether they are planning to kick a dog or set an old woman on fire. Occasionally, […]

Writer’s Block
December 5, 2011
My foray into the world of blogging has hit a brick wall. Like everything I have ever attempted, I started with lofty ideas carefully crafted over many hours of tortuous editing and ended up with writers block trying to goad strangers on the internet into getting angry.

The story you are about to read is true. Please bear in mind that under current UK legislation, these people are allowed to vote.

November 23, 2011

Trouble in paradise
November 20, 2011
Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn’t marry a girl just because she’s pretty, but my goodness, doesn’t it help? Marilyn Monroe After years of living on the breadline and talking through gritted teeth at each other about the importance of being happy with whatever you’ve […]

Never underestimate the unintelligible
November 8, 2011
I don’t know what I hoped to learn on a training course in London, but a day off work is a day off work; especially when it’s paid for by the boss. Since I was paired with Teresa, a woman of forty who looked like a large gormless child, I didn’t expect to learn too […]
