| The recent 'No Switches' thread started off being about people who put 'No Switches' on their profile. To filter out their potential partners that they meet via IC. The phrase just reminded me of those notices in pubs and guest houses you could find in Britain probably right up till the 1970s: 'No dogs, No Irish, No Blacks'. [more...] | ||

| Dawn bathed the mountains in a cool blue light. The sun touched snowy peaks with pale yellow fingers. Ice glistened and snow began its slow build-up towards avalanche. [more...] | ||

| 19 Dec 08 | Martha Wainwright's Knees (6) | (19 Dec 08, 11:25 PM by wonderer) |
| 2008 was the year I developed an obsession with Martha Wainwright's knees. From some hushed conversations in venue doorways, with equally fanatical Martha music lovers, I can tell you categorically that I am not alone in my affliction. [more...] | ||

| 20 Nov 08 | Christmas Spirit (2) | (28 Nov 08, 8:31 PM by newfavourite) |
| 'It's 34 days till Christmas: Book your party now!' cheered the poster in the St Pancras station restaurant. Do people really have Christmas parties in train stations? I can see them now, making hats out of serviettes, tucking in to their BLTs and enjoying a pain au chocolat for pud, all washed down with the most miniscule bottle of gin on the planet.

| It is a regular Wednesday evening in newfavourite-land. I am indulging in one of my oldfavourite pastimes, listening to some awesome contemporary pop-folk-genius*, drinking mulled wine (I had some cheap plonk for cooking, and then came up with an inspired solution to turn it into a sophisticated autumnal tipple), and dancing about in my matalan tracky bottoms and a t-shirt. All is well in my world. Until I hear it. Bang, bang. Pause. Bang, bang. This is my next-door neighbour's way of saying: please could you be a dear and turn the music down a little? I am having trouble concentrating on the angle [more...] | ||
| 9 Oct 08 | The Great Western | (9 Oct 08, 7:47 PM by newfavourite) |
| I woke in a foreign country, to an unfamiliar bed, to clear blue skies and bright sunlight. The Great Western stretched before me in both directions; the terraces loomed on either side. The further east I walked the scruffier and more interesting it got. But this was not a tourist trip, and there was no time for social geography. [more...] | ||
