Anti-Valentine

Well, thanks a lot for all of my Valentine’s Day cards. I really do appreciate it. Oh the love is soooo overwhelming. Thank you one and all. My abode is adorned with beautiful flowers and I shall spend the whole day eating luxury expensive Belgian chocolates whilst lying in a hot bubble-filled bath. I look […]

Meet ze Monster

Today marks the day I bid a fond farewell to the two Steffans. They are to return to their German homeland this evening, back to strudel and raw bacon. They have seen what I do and seem very impressed, as they should be. Their maudlin dead eyes expressed genuine appreciation.
I shook each of their hands, […]

Nutter’s Playground

It only takes a little bit of sunshine for all the nutcases in London to come out to play. Oh, won’t you come out to play? It is still bleak mid-winter but we have had a couple of spring-type days, perfect weather to spend a day in the park.
Tramps and nutters awaken in their stinking […]

A Pair of Steffans

Today, my company had a visit from our German affiliates in the form of two Steffans. I was required to give my usual enthusiastic talk about the brilliant product I manage (in truth I really don’t give a rat’s arse pop pickers). The two Steffans listened and even asked a number of pertinent questions.
They are […]

Star Trailer

Whilst in the cinema waiting for Cloverfield to begin I was greatly anticipating the trailers. I was expecting to see the teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Trek film. Cloverfield is produced by J.J. Abrams, who has also directed the eleventh Star Trek film, due in cinemas in December. Disappointedly, there was no trailer.
Don’t worry […]

Do the Monster Smash

******SPOILER ALERT******
Last eve I paid a visit to the cinema. I went to see the J.J. Abrams produced Cloverfield. Directed by Matt Reeves the film stars a cast of unknowns. A viral internet marketing campaign last year has made this one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. Filmed on digital video the […]

Dr. De’Ath

The burnt wound on my left arm and hand has turned into a black puss filled, painful mess. I will not visit a doctor or hospital, oh no. My experiences with the healthcare industry have always been a little unsatisfactory. My mother will berate me for not going but I choose to suffer rather than […]

Burn Hand Burn

I mentioned yesterday that I had managed to burn my feet on a hot water bottle. At the weekend I also sustained other burn-related injuries. These were oven induced. I can be particularly clumsy but my injuries all seem to occur at the same time. I was extracting some roasted vegetables from the hot oven […]

Hug the Furry Bottle

As part of my Christmas box I was delighted to receive a hot water bottle from my dear old mother. I have never had one before and thought it would be nice to get into bed on a cold winter’s eve and warm my cold weary feet. Luxury. Being far too poor to use the […]

Stepney George

Celebrities Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse have stepped up to support one of their favourite London pubs. The George Tavern, on Commercial Road in Stepney, is a traditional East End boozer and is an establishment where I have imbibed on a number of occasions; it is only ten minutes away from where I live. There […]
