Guess who I saw the other day. Go on, guess will ya? No, it was not that celebrity drug taker and wastrel Pete Doherty, for a change.
I was walking along Queen Victoria Street in the City. Where the road meets Cannon Street, outside the abandoned Burger King next to Mansion House underground station and over […]
New figures released today by the Home Office show that Taser use is on the increase. The devices were used 159 times and discharged 26 times in the last three months. Since the Taser was first introduced in England and Wales in April 2004 they have been used 2,662 times.
These figures only account for use […]
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 […]
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.
There is one particularly unpleasant […]
Cor blimey it’s hot. It really is. It’s a piece-a-hot hot hot. The intense heat makes a number of simple activities extremely difficult. Sleeping is a near impossible affair. The night is spent tossing, turning and sweating, having vivid nightmares about exams and only managing thirty minutes of shut eye.

Walking down Whitechapel High Street recently I saw an unusual altercation outside the Citroen dealership, the one next to the East London Mosque. There was an incident involving a woman and a street cleaner, a career position now referred to as a ‘Visual Urban Hygiene Technician’. The man with the brush was a filthy looking […]
I had a night out with my gay friend Pedro the other night. I have known Pedro for a couple of years and he is a really nice bloke; mild mannered, intelligent and a little shy and inhibited. However, once he has imbibed a few ales he becomes overly camp, gesticulating wildly and grabbing men’s […]
Walking home the other eve I became entangled in an unexpected lady-embrace. I was walking past ‘The Scream’, a student pub very close to where I live, in that London. There were lots of young people mingling and milling on the pavement, some smoking and some just chatting, all drinking. The causeway narrows outside the […]
I do not understand why random members of the public continue to assume that my name is Wayne Carr. That is not my name. I do not understand.
As I walk along the streets of Olde London Town, both gentlemen and ladies call to me, believing my name to be of the Carr variety. They stand […]
Napoleon Fantastic recently mentioned he has had some difficulty with his neighbours. They have been throwing empty beer cans over the fence into his well kept garden. It is a disgrace and oh so selfish and rude. But I feel Nap should thank his lucky stars when it comes to neighbours. I have not had […]
