The crazies were out in force this morning. The filthy, smelly, spit-covered Whitechapel streets were being patrolled by the mental and the drunk. It is often frightening. There were tribes of disgusting, ugly men and women sprawled all over the pavements, lying in their own sick and screaming at the world.

I was rather upset to discover that my good buddy Busby is moving to New York. He will be on a six month placement as a games designer for a popular entertainment software company. He is rather nervous about this geographical displacement. Busby has never visited the States before and he is under the impression […]
Stuart Adamson frontman and songwriter for Scottish guitar band Big Country summed it up best in the song ‘Porrohman’:
“But many went before us, and still the cries are clear,

I am on the brink of making a very big decision that will change my entire life. No, I am not planning on getting a sex change or a face transplant, although some would say I need one. I may be moving out of London to live in the East Midlands. This would put me […]
