Question

What is the down escalator called?
That is all.

Khalil Gibran – Reason and Passion XV

And the priestess spoke again and said: “Speak to us of Reason and Passion.”
And he answered saying:
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against passion and your appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of [...]

Exciting new content

Those with a keen eye will have noticed two new links. They’re nowt special and aren’t even configured properly yet (I’ll be making them all pretty later) but do feel free to play around.
No ham touching though.

Get a grip

It has been said that I’m a callous bastard but this is far from true, I’m a realist. No, realist isn’t the right word. I’m not a realist, I believe in too many fanciful things to be a realist. Realists aren’t sentimental as a rule. I’m not sure what the apt word would be so [...]

Ego

It’s all about me. Me, me, me, me, me. I’ll be posting something sensible later. But for now, this and this.Say hello to Gareth everyone.
Oh, and me, me, me, me, me.

Del Amitri – Nothing Ever Happens

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show
And they’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Gentlemen time please, you know we can’t [...]

Fiend!

Damn you library, [...]

Manly men

I’ve been ill since the weekend and it’s set me thinking that men have an arse backwards approach to illness. At the moment I have what could be called man flu. Obviously I’m convinced that it’s SARS or bubonic plague but in truth I have a cold, I ache a bit and most of all, [...]

Nemeses

Being a time travelling superhero-genius like myself you soon find that your life is full of nemesises or nemesisi or nemeses, whichever is the accurate term (yes I know it’s the third one.) These foul villains constantly obstruct your path and try to ensnare you in their naughty ways. I am unlucky in having two [...]

Accuracy is subjective

I’m a compulsive taker of personality tests, I can’t help myself. I like to see what the answers are, if I expect them and what they mean. I don’t know why I do this to myself because I’m invariably worried by their accuracy. I imagine in the same way that some people worry about the [...]
