They say "you're a red-head" As if it's a kind of insult, As if it's wrong to have a hair colour Most say that they would die for and Many actually dye for. It's mostly just a school thing - kids are meaner, really. In fact, I haven't suffered a "ginger slur" For years, For... Continue Reading →

Anxiety's horrible. Bit of an obvious statement, I know, but it's one that keeps coming back to me. I could go on about the pressures of modern life and our unrelenting spiral towards our collective doom, but I'm far too tired for that. I'm far too tired for all of it. I'm stuck inside my...

Writer's Block sounds like it should be the name of a building on a university campus or a low-budget soap opera about aspiring novelists living on the same street, broadcast on Radio 4, at 1am. It should not be a condition or state of mind one finds oneself in when trying to produce something out... Continue Reading →

Then, if you still can, wonder whether the title and setup of this piece are running on a formula used twice before. I don't usually do reviews for things at the... Continue Reading →

The shampoo I'm currently using is a type I don't think I'll ever be getting again. Just to clarify, I'm not currently using it. I'm not showering right now. Electronic devices and water aren't really a recipe for harmonious living. But the shampoo bottle I'm halfway through in those times when I do cleanse myself... Continue Reading →

The zombie apocalypse is here! It's arrived! It's happening, right now! But before you go running off to get your chainsaw and baseball bat and head down to the nearest supermarket to barricade yourselves in, let me just remind you... not that kind of zombie apocalypse. In fact, that very term has come to mean... Continue Reading →

Driving a vehicle on Britain's roads is certainly a skill, which is why it seems perplexing that most people can do it legally. I only say that because as I'm writing this, it's yesterday (according to this date stamp) and the view from my bedroom window is of the main road I live on. That's... Continue Reading →

Every now and then, the public consciousness latches onto a new phenomenon wherein two things or ideas collide.
