Friday T&A: Drinking Games Edition
Gents, I just got back earlier today from a short trip to an event that involved a lot of words that would normally make me swear a blue streak. These include "networking", "socialising", and - most...
Send them all home
Chaps, do you remember that whole weird series of episodes of what we might call a White Trash Soap Opera, suitably titled Yorkshire Dales or some such, involving a father-of-two who took in a...
Losing battles to win wars
The past five days or so have been rather bewildering ones for those of us following developments in the 404 War. Starting on September 9th, basically, the Ukrainians launched a major...
Monday morning Crown and Ring
Monday is back with a vengeance, and I for one am definitely feeling it. My Sunday workouts involve maxing out the weight on squats and deadlifts, and the older I get, the longer it takes to recover...
The twenty-one year emergency

A study in ticket sales
For those of you who don't bother to keep up with politics in the Balkans - which is most of us, self very much included - then the whole kerfuffle between Serbia and the bit of the country that...
The unmaking of the Self-Made Man
This post likely isn't what you thought it was when you opened it up. It is actually about a butch lesbian named Norah Vincent, whose name may be familiar to some of you. Nearly 20 years ago, she...
We wuz Alves ‘n’ shiet!
Amazog's The Lhurrd of the Rangz has been out for a couple of days now (apparently), and like most of you, I just couldn't give a toss. We've all got better things to do than watch this pile of...
