Sartre in the Supermarket

During my weekly shop, at Sainsbury’s in Whitechapel, I struggled to the checkout with a basket full of wine, carrots and oranges. All payment points were busy but I settled on the one which appeared to be the fastest moving.
However, I did not notice that I had situated myself behind a very old and frail […]

Angel Interceptor

I recently received a rather unexpected email in my inbox from my dear friend Busby. He is presently residing in New York on a year long work placement thingy – all games design and software manipulation. His news was shocking; this kind of adventure never happens to him. He is a changed man. It got […]

The Attractive Waitress Ploy

I have noticed that an increasing number of bars and pubs in the capital are employing exceedingly attractive waitresses to offer table service. These are mainly ladies of the foreign variety. I am all for this – it’s brilliant to see such glamour on a Monday afternoon.
I fall into their trap though. One after another […]

Despicable Deception

Canoe death scam couple, John and Anne Darwin, have been jailed for more than six years and have had their assets frozen in an attempt to recover £250,000 they conned out of insurance firms. It was deception on a grand scale. I too have been party to a despicable deception.
I once met a tall, blonde, […]

Stench

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,
There is no beauty here, just the stench of wine and beer.”
You’re not wrong Stu.

Big Decision

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 […]

Email Error

If anybody received an email from me this weekend I can only apologise. I was rather inebriated and was unaware of my unacceptable immature behaviour.
If you see me in your inbox then please immediately press the delete button. I knew not what I was doing, the evil boozy brain had taken over and my disconnected […]

George’s Marvellous Medicine

I had another rather odd conversation in the office kitchen with George. His twisted imagination has envisioned another bizarre invention. He presently has his little wonky eye on a certain pretty young girl and will do anything to impress her. He has already made her some nettle soup and left it on her desk and […]

Repetition Repetition Repetition

Do you ever feel like every day is just the same?
The new working week dawns and one is wishing for the end of the week. The work never changes, the routine never wavers. It is the same drudgery day-in and day-out. As one day seeps into the next you just wish your life away. Before […]

What Not to do When Drunk No. 10

Just One More
It is late. It is a school day tomorrow. You are not quite sure what exactly is happening. You started drinking beer at midday and have just finished off your second bottle of wine and forgotten to eat. Your stereo is blasting out the latest Foals tune and something appears to be on […]
