When you have had several bottles of red wine too many and a bottle of cheap Estonian vodka do not, I repeat, do not decide to receive a chocolate enema administered by a seven foot tall tranny. Oh the mess. Oh the chocolate. Oh the heels.
It was as effective as a, erm . . . […]
A typical lunch hour in London:
Walking onto Blackfriars Bridge, avoiding the closed pavements due to station refurbishment, I walk past Bobby Gillespie, singer in popular blues and electronica group Primal Scream. There is no mistaking Gillespie, he always appears incredibly greasy and gaunt, a man who has had an eventful life and could be very […]

I was very sad to learn of the death of JG Ballard at the age of 78. He had been ill for several years, struggling with prostate cancer, and died on Sunday morning. Ballard is one of my favourite authors, penning such classics as ‘The Drowned World’, ‘Concrete Island’ and ‘Crash’. He said his books […]

Just lately I have been mostly feeling like a failure and a loser. I have been betrayed and used. I am sick of being a pathetic victim. I am presently carrying out an isolationist policy, that way I cannot be hurt. However, revenge will be sweet, a dish best served hot and spicy. Tether, end […]

Recently, on the brilliant blog-tastic website of my good buddy and probable big brother Napoleon Fantastic, there was an excellent gag about the new Obama family dog. He titled his small piece on the subject Bo Selected, Bo being the name of the 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog. I found this to be very comical, capricious […]

It was fun but there was no rest, none at all. Does that make me wicked?
Yesterday was the day I went post-Easter cold turkey and boy was it rough. I still feel particularly delicate right now. Why these unpleasant feelings of tiredness, paranoia and pain? Well, I have been drinking solidly and rapidly for five […]
It’s break time. Cor blimey governor, I am very much looking forward to my days over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend that I have graciously been allowed to take off.
I am in no way a religious man, in fact I am a devout atheist, but I thank that there non-existent God and his little helper […]
Ah people, you have to love ‘em don’t you? I choose to hate them. You know why? Well, because most of them are stupid and ignorant. It’s a fact. Take this fellow from early this morning. Around 3.30am I was awoken from my broken drunken snooze by a repeated banging and shouting.
There was a chap […]
What were they thinking? Coming to my city and demonstrating about such irrelevant and inane subjects as the destruction of the environment, the evil nature of capitalism and the rape of the world and humanity by greedy selfish fat men in reptile suits.
Why my displeasure? They demonstrated on my patch, that’s why. My walk home […]
