Yesterday, while battling through the rain I was overtaken by a cyclist with one arm.
He was faster than me.
But I can indicate.

Lundun Fashon Weak
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Remember the scene in Dumbo when our elephantine hero is getting jostled, judged and jived by a gaggle of too-cool-for-school crows? Well, that my friends, is London Fashion Week. For one week of every year, London is swooped upon by a gaggle of fashion’s finest crows. Everywhere you look there is what Dylan Thomas would [...]
Errrr, thanks eBay
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
This morning I was greeted by an email from eBay. Apparently, I could get treated like a princess with amazing deals on purses, netbooks, luxury watches, women’s trainers, baby clothing, engagement rings, undies, lego and a disney bathrobe and slipper set.
Hmmmm.
Now, I was under the impression that these email whodyamaflits were in some way based [...]
The Thriller in Gorilla

So, what’s a little hair between friends? Take a short-course in weaving and it could be the very fabric holding your friendship together.
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to an 80s film-themed party. Naturally, I decided to go as Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I considered Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed, Tango, or possibly [...]

It’s for some Patrons publicity at the library. Photos by narcsville, of course.
Sewing, stitching and legs by me.

Knock Knock joke on Heaven’s Door
Friday, February 12, 2010
Yesterday, as soon as I heard that Alexander McQueen was dead, my first reaction was to make this joke on Twitter:
The Queen is dead…. (damn fuzzy radio)
It was also my reaction to make a joke when Michael Jackson died, when John Hughes died, when JD Salinger died, oh and pretty much when any other famous [...]
Valentine’s Day – A Review

A.K.A When Hollywood went Bollywood. (one for my buddies at Little White Lies)
It came as absolutely no surprise that, about an hour and forty five minutes in to Valentine’s Day – the timely new film by Garry Marshall – there was an enormous Indian wedding song and dance routine.
For, despite Valentine’s Day marketing itself as [...]
Literary Analysis

Swithun: In other waking-up-at-7am-with-a-hangover news, one of my friends informed me yesterday she’s buying me a copy of The Handmaid’s Tale because she got sperm on the one I lent her.
Me: Atwood would be proud.
Swithun: She is excellent. I told her the other day that if you and she ever met you’d either become best [...]
Hasn’t he got more important things to do?
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
So, according to the Guardian website, John Nettles is going to be replaced on Midsomer Murders. According to the photo they posted, it appears that he will be replaced by David Cameron.
I can’t wait to see what Cameron makes of the goings-on in Badger’s Drift. I’m pretty sure murder is pretty high up on his [...]

Here’s the latest collaboration with narcsville for Leeds Guide
Listen, okay. I don’t particularly mind if people want to dress like munitions workers or early period Pentangle. And, you know, if looking like Robert Plant is your thing, or if you really do admire the sartorial leanings of mime artists then be my guest, knock yourself [...]
