Had Enough Of Computers

Image: How Stuff Works.com

The writing and posting of this blog entry will be my only foray to my PC today. I need to get away from the screen for a few hours after a week doing nothing else but watching cursors and thinking technology. One needs to step away.
I forwent my usual Saturday morning gander [...]

An Early Christmas Miracle

If I ever wanted the perfectly worse day to follow a Specials gig, Friday achieved it. Instead of being able to skulk away and work quietly on my own work, thereby giving me time to get over my aches, pains and significant hangover, I had to get involved in some major shit. It [...]

A Very Special Day

I write to you from the warmth of my home office. Outside my window lies a landscape scattered with 1950’s housing, skeletal trees and a cloudy, overhanging sky. It’s not a particularly exciting view, in fact, at first appearance it looks downright miserable. Yet today will be a day to be remembered for all [...]

Poshing It Up At The Usher Hall

I struggled to get out of bed yesterday and was late for work by a few minutes as a result. I hate being late, but I think the lengthy shifts I’ve been putting in has started catching up with me. I could do with a couple of days off mid-week just to redress [...]

Hope you all enjoyed my special interview yesterday with Jenny Storm. If you missed it you can still read it here.
My email broke again yesterday morning. This time it was at my end and nothing to do with my provider. It was fine last night then suddenly a corrupt DLL error this morning. Thankfully [...]

The Specials, Beltane, and the Man In The East

The last few days have been incredible. Fast moving, exciting, fulfilling, emotional – all of these and more. To begin, I have to return to the start of the week, but I don’t have much time so I’ll stick to the finer points.
As you know, on Wednesday I was away through [...]

Angry And Frustrated

It’s been a pretty bad couple of days. Buggering my ankle wasn’t the best thing to happen, especially after the problems I’ve had with my right leg this year. It’s just been one thing after another – one very painful thing after another.
I’ve written very little, which has only served to worsen my mood. [...]

Falling From The Sky Without A Parachute

Today I felt like I was falling from the sky without a parachute. Here’s why -
A parcel finally arrived for me at my day job – in the WRONG building. How on earth those pillocks in the mail office managed to send my parcel, which has my precise address on it right down to the [...]

Split Banana

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!
I received an email over the course of the weekend that has had me thinking quite heavily, once more, about Jackie McCann. I can’t seem to get away from him or his story. Let me explain. The email concerned a publisher that I have often thought of pitching the story to. In fact, [...]

Mission Accomplished

I was quite tired yesterday after only getting about five hours sleep. While Gail and Lindsay both had long lies to sleep off the effects of Saturday night, I was back out my bed five hours later when my father in law showed up with hammers and whistles; just what I needed that early on [...]
