Having just got in from an R.A.F. presentation at the Hilton in Bradford, where there was an exceptionally pretty girl from the University Air Squadron, followed by a few pints in the local pubs (minus said pretty girl).

Hizonna don’t appear to be doin’ too well in the Sunshine state. I have to say I had expected him to buck the polling (which has been ridiculously inaccurate for almost every other Primary so far) and come at least a good second. As it stands America’s Mayor is in Third, and it’s not even [...]

Less than one year ago, Gordon Brown swore to “rebuild trust in politics” and to “lead a government with new priorities”, so far all he appears to have done is lived out the grace period which was extended to him by the press and then go on to botch a non-election, a finance crisis and [...]

I have just heard about the death of Heath Ledger on Newsnight. People are saying it was an overdose, but then people say a lot of stuff that isn’t true. A bottle of pills near a dead body, does not signify. Not in my eyes at least.
I saw some of Ledger’s films and I did [...]

Last night was the Leeds stop of the Hundred Reason tour, William (my youngest brother) bought me a ticket for Christmas - much better than a dog, you don’t have to feed or water it and it’s not for life… well the life of the dog anyway - we got there far too early and [...]

Idling = rush to finish work for deadlines

all nighter = requirement of caffein
requirement of caffein = massive amounts of coffee
massive ammounts of coffee = headache

Alright, so my timetable to get this work done is shot to f*ck.
I guess I should have started earlier…. FAR earlier.

Alright, so I went to the pub and had a few pints… and then went and drank a bottle of wine… It’s not that I am hugely drunk, it’s just at that stage where another 2 or 3 pints could tip me to becoming actually tipsy and from there things could and would get pretty [...]
