| 25 Mar 12 | Brains | (25 Mar 12, 12:43 PM by Talisker) |
| Brains. Don't you wish more people had them, used them, nourished them, rather than leaving them to rot; fed with grub but other under-utilised? [more...] | ||
| 6 Feb 12 | Show Me The Place | (6 Feb 12, 6:13 PM by Talisker) |
| An unshamed plug for the Blessed Leonard's latest album. [more...] | ||
| 28 Jan 12 | Glorious Death | (28 Jan 12, 5:02 PM by Talisker) |
| Every day is an adventure. After nearly expiring a couple of times during an intensive illness, I now feel that a mundane ordinary day, is a wasted day. Life is there to be savoured, to be relished, to be absorbed to the utmost and rejoiced in. Quality BDSM with an adventure-seeking partner would be the icing on the cake. [more...] | ||
| 10 Jan 12 | No, no, I cannot take any more. | (10 Jan 12, 5:34 PM by Talisker) |
| Cat number 1 has been bouncing up and down on my shoulder for about 15 minutes. I can feel that I am sinking further into the chair. [more...] | ||
| 8 Jan 12 | Changing Tastes | (8 Jan 12, 12:54 PM by Talisker) |
| Strange how some parts of life change over the years, and some do not. [more...] | ||
| 4 Dec 11 | The Thorny Path | (4 Dec 11, 1:29 PM by Talisker) |
| After recovering from a major illness and close call for the Big Appointment with Mr Reaper, it has been a good 18 months or so of reflection, reassessment,and crazy thinking. My mind has been running like a whirring clock with inner gears shifting at different speeds. Some fast: the bucket-list of BDSM things I want to do before the Zimmer frame kicks in. [more...] | ||
| 17 Sep 11 | Legal Access? (3) | (18 Sep 11, 5:22 PM by LittleMissEvil) |
| Here we are, a free Western democracy. Preaching on the world stage about oppresive regimes and how they should change, and hey presto : as part of cost-cutting the Coalition has just voted to reduce or deny free access to Legal Aid for those in police custody. [more...] | ||
| 22 May 11 | Rapture | (22 May 11, 11:12 AM by Talisker) |
| Never mind the end of the world. So they got it wrong : HAH. That will teach them to surrender all their possessions,giving away all their worldly goods etc. I bet in the States they will sue the demented idiot for misleading them with false promises. Imagine turning up meekly for work on the Monday, having told everyone the world was ending on Saturday. Oh so amusing. [more...] | ||
| 29 May 10 | IC Writers | (29 May 10, 11:32 AM by Talisker) |
| My own IC Dozen: writers / posters I have followed with interest for some time. Some post frequently, some less so.I have not met most of these; always wanted to someday, somewhere. Maybe the next time around? [more...] | ||
| 28 May 10 | Countdown (2) | (28 May 10, 9:45 PM by MissKimberley) |
| Preparing to shut down and exit I.C. after 10 years, is a wierd feeling, but it feels totally the right thing to do. Having run the Oxford Munch for that long, and now stepping back,it has seemed a good idea too to step back from my main online profile. [more...] | ||
| 27 May 10 | When the Balance goes | (27 May 10, 9:09 AM by Talisker) |
| It has been a roller-coaster of a year: severe illness has been the dominant theme,eating into health,time,energy. Those weeks of slow recovery gives ample time for reflection. Time to count blessings, as well as consideration of changes to come. [more...] | ||
| 20 Mar 10 | Oxford Changes | (20 Mar 10, 12:32 PM by Talisker) |
| I have enjoyed the pleasure,fun and thrill of founding and running the Oxford Munch since August 2001. Since then, meeting every last Saturday of the month in various venues around the city,the Munch has settled into a cosy and enjoyable pub where we are warmly welcomed, and it has been a tremendous privilege to see friendships grow. Relaxing with real-life kink friends, what could be better? I have met some wonderful people; sometimes only for a short period of time, but often as regular returning visitors,sometimes commuting a substantial distance to keep in touch (though I think the record is [more...] | ||
| 27 May 09 | Unsynchronised | (27 May 09, 7:55 PM by Talisker) |
| Unwinding here, I sometimes listen to modern music (I am usually 90 % classical music, 5% modern in my listening). An hour online, catching up with mails,posting on some politics boards, and relaxing to Al Stewart. Now I have loved this singer-composer's music for years, from before The Year Of The Cat, right up to his most recent songs on Sparks of Ancient Light. I hope there is another album in the pipeline too. [more...] | ||
| 28 Apr 09 | One below perfection | (28 Apr 09, 6:26 PM by Talisker) |
| Been a long while since I last had the chance to stop and really reflect: too busy with work,too many issues stewing,too much anxiety (sometimes)too long before I get away for a holiday. [more...] | ||
| 22 Nov 08 | Predictables | (22 Nov 08, 2:02 PM by Talisker) |
| Folk complain that life is too predictable : same old drudge of work commute nosh zzzz's and commute work nosh again with no room for relaxation. True, that is a type of predictability which is so irritating, but without the same old same old, where is the happy cabbage for the celebrations? [more...] | ||
| 24 Oct 08 | Freedoms | (24 Oct 08, 5:22 PM by Talisker) |
| Freedom and restriction is one way of defining the style of life which is BDSM. One offers ways to bind, and in doing so releases a deep journey, an intense experience to the one being binded. (In my book, being Dom, of course it works other ways too). [more...] | ||
| 28 Sep 08 | Standard | (28 Sep 08, 2:15 PM by Talisker) |
| With a nod to Armstrong & Miller. [more...] | ||
| 28 Sep 08 | The Father Ted Convention | (28 Sep 08, 2:10 PM by Talisker) |
| Yesterday (pre-Munch) I was wandering around the Old Castle in Oxford. The castle zone and the old prison at the heart of it is now a high class (and high cost) Malmaison hotel. Not one of the cheapest places to spend a night, and if you want the prison cell experience it comes with luxury beds and furnishings. [more...] | ||
| 28 Sep 08 | S+M 1 M & S 0 | (28 Sep 08, 2:03 PM by Talisker) |
| So: after having my toes amputated at the regular chiropody session, I stumbled slowly across to M & S, to buy some E ( no, not that! Euros !!)for an upcoming holiday. [more...] | ||
