I went to Craig's grandad's party this evening. Half of Bootle seemed to be there. Initially I was fairly demure (shut up, those of you who actually know me) and I managed to field off the many questions about when Craig and I are getting married, which university I am at and what job I do ( Read more... )

I am very sad to hear that Humphrey Lyttelton has died. It was only recently that I went to Leeds with lorcas_novena to see him on the I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue tour, and although he was frail, he still played the trumpet at the end to a packed auditorium of cheering fans.

Here are some interesting thingies that I have been looking at online:

Another mention of Charlie Brooker's emetophobia which I posted about last week.

Warning About Fake Drugs Sold on the Internet. This warning is nothing new, however I have not been sold fakes by an online pharmacy. Well, as far as I can remember. Amnesia indicates a good ( Read more... )

By the way, everyone (yes, that includes YOU) should download Panic Attack from Rob Newman's website here. It's only 22 seconds long and it ( Read more... )

I haven't updated properly for a little while. I will summarise what I've been doing since I last posted. Well, my flat got broken into but the guy was disturbed so nothing was taken. I was knocked down by a bike on the way back to the flat after receiving the phonecall telling me about the break-in. It hurt. No one died ( Read more... )

Russell Brand's Booky Wook was released yesterday. I managed to gather up the energy to go to the Anrdale Centre to buy it, which made me very happy. I intended to sit in a coffee shop all day and read it all like the sad git I am, but Craig was in town too, so we ended up wandering around the Arndale looking for Christmas presents for various ( Read more... )
