… I felt so hacked off I didn’t allow myself to type on my blog, in fear of coming across as whiny, but also because I’m not big on writing down what’s bugging me (“Dear Doctor. Sorry to worry you, but the wound on my leg is bleeding an awful lot-can I have a bandage? [...]

Is it just me, or is BBC news today just full of the kind of stories that you expect to be named in passing by Kent Brockman? Squids. Flamin’ Michael Jackson. Exploitin’ Pussies. Explodin’ Beds.

Teenagers would rather have the content than be the guinea pigs for all the [...]

A conversation I had today: My brother: “Why is there hay in the boot of the car?’ Me: “Mum and I found a hay bale that fell off the back of a truck a few weeks ago, so we decided to take it home.” Brother: “My family is nicking hay from the SIDE OF THE [...]
