It’s been a while since I last posted on my blog – but don’t fear, I’m still here, I’ve just had too many other things to take care of (don’t we all…). I’m going to be doing some more work on the site soon, and will start accepting guest posts from other writers – so [...]
Halloween. The one day every year we all get to dress up as whatever the hell we want and get ragingly drunk. Well, that’s what I do. Depending on your age, though, you may partake in ‘trick or treating’ or simply cower behind closed curtains with your lights off pretending no-one is home… shame on [...]
Every year, without fail, a certain ‘echelon’, shall we say, of society erects their Christmas trees, begins writing cards and completes their festive shopping far earlier than sensible. This is now becoming a major issue. The ‘attack of the Christmas proles’ has started earlier this year – and we’ve got reason to believe it will [...]
For those of you waiting in nail-biting anticipation for my next post, I must extend this apology to you. I’m in the process of writing a ‘guest article’ for another website. It will be pretty much the same as my other posts (style-wise), but might be a bit longer. Once it has gone live (if [...]
If you’ve read anything in the news over the past two weeks, you’ll have probably seen how much of a shambles the Commonwealth Games have become this year. Ever since Delhi was appointed host of the games, criticism has roared all over the world: “They won’t be able to cope with the influx of people”… [...]
I’m going to try something a little different over the course of my next few articles – just to mix things up a bit. What I’m planning to do is write about things that really wind me up, things that summon rage from the depths within… Come to think of it, when I say ‘over [...]
You might have read in the news this week about a ‘man’ named Keith Macdonald. Keith, a 25-year-old unemployed chav, is now expecting his 10th child. Some of you may be thinking at this point, “so what… if he can support them under one roof it doesn’t really matter” – but… the twist in the [...]
High street shops are boarded up, once-booming town centres stand derelict, echoes of hustling shoppers ring deafeningly through the empty streets – this, ladies and gentlemen, is Third World Britain. Ok, so it’s a little different to the ‘Third World’ we know of, but for Britain, this is as bad as it gets – I [...]
We all love a good summer holiday, but recent research has suggested that summer breaks can leave us more miserable in the long run (post-holiday blues and all that). Come to think of it, I’ve recently returned from my summer getaway and I’m feeling particularly blue. Not to mention stressed, angry and short-fused! So what [...]
Britain – you can’t help loving her, she’s ‘home’. But for some reason (many reasons, actually), we find ourselves hating this ‘fine’ country, too. It’s not her fault, the poor old dear, she’s merely a mass of soil, rocks and grass. So, in reality, she’s got nothing to do with it. It’s actually our fault. [...]
