Finally.

That which has lain dormant for a month and a half has finally reawoken.
Scheming, plotting, manipulating: I am an artist.

Broken Britain. Well, Broken Birmingham.

I was going to write a post about the Conservatives’ Breakthrough Britain policy suggestions this evening, but I then realised that the report is 861 pages long. So, tonight I shall take the easy way out, and just comment upon the delightful fifteen page report commissioned upon only problems in Birmingham (entitled Breakthrough Birmingham); which [...]

How to Fight an Argument on the Internet

My Mr. Dialysis and Astro Reality articles on Starve in Heaven caused somewhat of a shitstorm. This, in all honesty, was kind of the intention; but some of the responses really made my days.

Dieting And Weight Loss.

I make no secret of my certain predilection towards a desire to be skinny, and it’s definitely not something that I’m embarrassed or ashamed of in any way. However, I think that there are certain limits and excesses which can be considered completely, frankly, ridiculous. I was reading through my emails and I found an [...]

Just curious.
