Morning Bell

Got Mr Scruff’s Trouser Jazz out again the other day, am glad I did, not because the music’s any better (it’s all rubbish apart from Valley of the Sausages which has some humungous scat and -shock- real instruments) but because I found Nile’s In Their Darkened Shrines in the CD case .. funny where things [...]

Go With the Flow

It’s nice to know Microsoft is finally improving their approach to security - just had this error appear on my screen -

Think my computer is playing with my head .. also had this piece of helpfulness from Amazon. Can’t quite see the logic there.
Reading lineup announced = Iron Maiden closing = I’m going to [...]

Summer

I fancy backpacking around Eastern Europe in late May early June, more specifically Prague, Budapest and Warsaw, possibly Krakow and Bratislava too .. get a European rail pass, book a few hostels, spend a couple of weeks out there, it’s cheap, something new, what could possibly go wrong? OK so I can’t speak a [...]

That’s [...]

Fog

I’ve been reading American Psycho recently but hated everything about it - from the main character to its lack of morality to its monotonous, exact descriptions of what every single character is wearing to its crude, emotionless acts of violence and pornography, I hated every single thing about it. Which is impressive as I [...]

My room is white

In the terms and conditions for accommodation at Edinburgh number 6.6 reads
Not to attach items to walls by means of blu-tac, sellotape or any other means.
In Halls of Residences drawing pins are also prohibited.
Is that just Edinburgh being draconian or is that the normal everywhere.. ?
I’ll have nowhere to stick my Radiohead poster [...]
