So, i’m on a course, and there is no internet through the day, and I’m now stealing a little bit of other peoples (come on kids – learn – WEP is good). Sadly I’ve no exciting email, my flist is fairly empty, and I’m stuck for things to read online. Damn it. Possibly Related Posts: [...]

6 word stories

October 29th 2006

Thought I’d give this a try! All new haircut! Face remains the same. She’s pregnant again, mine I hope. Cold night air, dawn far away. I aimed but hit the child. Room for rent: cash or favours. WLTM gentlemen like my ex husband. Cds organised by year? Why bother! Possibly Related Posts: Stuck at werk [...]

October 28th 2006

I’ve been meaning to look this up all week – because saying “muslim headscarf” makes you sound like a twit. There’s a little pop up link with pictures (good old BBC).

Yes, once again, I’m quietly boiling over. This country is going fucking ape shit mental, and if we don’t all slow down a little, something is going to break. I recieved the following as an email this week, which I read, and couldn’t help hitting reply to all and sending the bit below. *** Three [...]

Extreamly short stories

October 26th 2006

I love the idea of Very Short Stories. Mr Hemmingway invented the idea – a whole story in 6 words, with his brilliant “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” which is enough to nearly make me cry. There are shortshorts from Alan Moore, Joss Wheldon, William Shatner and Frank Millermargret Atwood, an many more. Possibly [...]

How depressing

October 24th 2006

That the UK’s press is less free that Latvia, slovaquia, and Nambia. Brilliant. Former Tin Pot Dictatorships have freer press than we do. The US is way way down there mind. No surprise.

Oh dear…

October 17th 2006

Anybody else get the feeling that the whole headscarf/butka/faith/education/Britishness thing is quietly spirling out of control? New such as this – Islamic school forces girls to wear head scarves is just baiting the Dailey Nazi readers. I think faith schools are just a bad idea.

The view from my window

October 11th 2006

Have you ever seen Blade Runner?  The beginning shows an industrial skyline, dark and smog filling, with glints of light looming out of the fog and gloom, brief bursts of flame flaring up from black chimneys and pipelines.  Aparently Ridley Scott based it on the view of Middlesbrough at night, which I can belive.
