| 19 Dec 08 | Cleaning house, metaphorically speaking | (19 Dec 08, 12:23 PM by Doghouse_Reilly) |
| Well in a few weeks it's crunch time with the new law and in general I figure this is probably as good a time as any to acknowledge that maybe it's time to cave to good old fashioned societal trends and go with the flow. It'd be nice to be openly out and about like so many people on here are, but realistically that means I could get into bother with the law and of course it would effectively preclude me having any sort of career worthy of the name.

| 23 Nov 08 | Still not done being happy about the BNP's misery (72) | (25 Nov 08, 8:35 AM by frogman) |
| So it's been debated back and forth here and all over the place for quite some time. The dreaded BNP members list. I think the conclusion that most folks have reached is that the publishing of the names and addresses of BNP members is entirely justified and a comedy classic of modern politics. [more...]

| 21 Nov 08 | Breaking a routine and also some funny (1) | (21 Nov 08, 11:27 AM by SublimeDecadence) |
| So today I have finally turned around my somewhat knackering upside down sleep patterns. Yay! Well at least that is to say it's 9am and I'm actually getting out of bed rather getting back into it. Not sure how long this will last but it's probably a positive move in the short term. [more...]

| 20 Nov 08 | The Worst Things To Lose (13) | (20 Nov 08, 3:31 PM by SemiTrainedApe) |
| Today I have been researching a matter very dear to me, losing things, and I have established a list of the three worst things to lose. Ever. By things I mean objects, not metaphorical oddities. [more...]

| That's right ladies and gents, I ought to be working. I'm not. Ah well. I have plenty of caffeine and the night is young. My own fault for being late originally I suppose. [more...]

| 8 Nov 08 | Yesterme, birthdays and plans (1) | (8 Nov 08, 8:08 PM by fred07) |
| I was looking at some of my blogs and posts from a few years back earlier. They provided some food for thought, about how I'd changed, if at all, and about how comfortable, or not, I am with myself. It's nice to have a record of ones thoughts stretching back (which is one of the reasons for this blog post as much as anything, so I can check back on it in years to come and wonder what lead me to be so self absorbed). I've been mooching around here for ages now, never quite found the answers I was looking for, perhaps because I was never willing or able to ask the right questions, I still don't quite [more...]

| 24 Oct 08 | What do you do when you're feeling low? (33) | (30 Oct 08, 3:58 PM by jadedgirl) |
| Well here I am. Friday night and I'm home on me own. Fairly skint. It's cold outside. No mates to go marauding with within a couple of hours journey, and no money for it really either. My thirtieth birthday looming larger every week. No significant other. Best friends currently scattered around the globe. It's a bit rubbish really. It's not like I even have a specific reason to feel gloomy, indeed I have many reasons not to. Feels quite poor form to complain about it really, but it is what it is. [more...]

| 4 Sep 08 | Getting Old (12) | (12 Oct 08, 2:51 AM by threadkiller) |

| 13 Nov 07 | I'm off to Poland, don't touch my stuff (7) | (14 Nov 07, 1:55 PM by Green_mermaid) |
| So I'm off on assignment to Warsaw tomorrow to investigate a classified new technology codenamed Spider. On paper this sounds like something straight out of a Bond film, which is frankly fricking awesome. I'm also more than a little bit tickled at being that rarest of things, an Englishman going to Poland to do a job rather than the other way around. [more...]

| Hmm so long since I last blogged. Not much to say really I guess, which is odd, since stuff has happened. Just not stuff I really feel compelled to sound off from the rooftops about. [more...]

| 4 Oct 06 | Another All Nighter, complete with myths, murder and that Amarillo song (7) | (4 Oct 06, 6:58 PM by Lady_I) |
| So there's this American soldier recorded on low res digital camera up in the turret of one of those Bradley light tank thingies. The image quality isn't up to much, it's probably a small camera using a digital zoom and the subject is quite a long way off. The subject is blurry, but it's possible to identify he's a white guy and he's eating a sandwich. He's got a big armoured vest on and a helmet. [more...]

| 8 Sep 06 | Big Apple Pie | (8 Sep 06, 2:04 PM by Doghouse_Reilly) |
| So here I am in New York, having cobbled together working internet access thanks to the dozens of random unsecured wireless networks that supply the Upper West Side. It's day four of my trip. Day one was the flight, day two I saw Central Park, Greenwich Village, a sizeable chunk of Manhatten generally and then got absolutely shitfaced in a bar on the Lower East Side. Yesterday I monged out completely to nurse the hangover, egads it was a bad one, but I took a stroll up Broadway into Harlem in the evening which was pretty cool. So now it's day four, about 9am, and I'm considering my options for the [more...]

| 4 Sep 06 | Holiday! | (4 Sep 06, 2:11 PM by Doghouse_Reilly) |
| In twenty four hours I'll be checking into my hotel. Upper West New York, whatever that means. I mean I know where New York is but the whole Upper West and other curious directional information is a bit lost on me. Suffice to say in 24 hours I'll be there, and in 26, weather permitting, I'll be kicking back in Central Park. Yay. [more...]

| 24 Aug 06 | Can't sleep and fears of mud (2) | (24 Aug 06, 10:25 AM by verte) |
| Okay then. Setting off for the Leeds Festival in about ninety minutes. Can't get any sleep and it's now too late to bother trying. Dunno what the weather is like up there, but I am expecting mud and have tooled up accordingly with big stompy hiking boots and other gubbins. It's my first music festival and I predict a riot. Well not really but since the Kaiser Chiefs are playing I wanted to get the pun in. [more...]

| 7 Aug 06 | Monday Must Be Stopped (1) | (7 Aug 06, 4:54 PM by kinkyafro) |
| Two things are notable about Mondays. The first and best of these notable qualities is that it is the day that the new episode of Deadwood appears online and is thusly acquired and watched over breakfast or lunch. The second notable quality is far more lamentable, namely the beginning of the working week. This doesn't mean I have to work, one of the benefits of being one's own boss is the schedule is entirely flexible, but it does mean that seemingly everybody else in the world is scuttling around like ants making me feel lazy and listless. Which maybe I am, but I don't like to be reminded of it [more...]
