November 6, 2011 Our Rock is an Alcoholic and We are Happy-Hour. Part One
My shower is an idiot. There are two in the house but they are identical and I choose the one with ventilation because I value being able to both breath and see when I am in a confined space. On the road I’ve gone weeks without a proper wash; I’ve also nearly drowned a couple [...]

November 1, 2011 A Brain Full of Slime
There was no me on the radio today. For anyone tearing their hair out in desperate grief here is a picture of me feeding dinosaurs at the weekend: Unfortunately I’ve been sick these last few days with what at first I took to be a deadly new contagion that would torment my organs into a viscous [...]

October 27, 2011 Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Tuesday just gone was my second assault on the airwaves. It went well. Things are getting more and more hands-on and my nervous jabbering is beginning to be mistaken for a growing competence that would lend itself to its own show. The persons in charge want to push out new programming and they also want [...]

October 19, 2011 Headline for a Piece about Blog Entries
There would be words here, the words would tell you things, there would also be links. That one takes you to tside.co.uk which is where the proper-serious-correct-and-checked-by-a-teacher-so-it’s-not-shit-and-libellous-like-most-of-the-stuff-on-here will, in future, be found. Any of the views expressed on this blog are poorly constructed and offensive to both creed and intellect; they do not, nor will they [...]

October 18, 2011 Radio Ga Ga
I got to the Click station early and after babbling my usual brand of confused and terrified explanations I was shown to the studio where a broadcast was in full swing. Two girls were being shown the ropes by a chap I took to be a Professional but they were giving it such gusto that I was [...]

October 5, 2011 Living Tasted Better Than Healthy Felt
I’m pretty sure the people I live with think I’m a bit of a freak. Notwithstanding my forgotten but undoubtedly questionable conduct when drunk, I have shown to have in my possession an amount of kitchen equipment that would seem to rival all but the most thorough of small rural restaurants; and yet I haven’t cooked once.

September 28, 2011 Hello World…
Well… here I am. I’ve been in Middlesbrough three days now, moved here after a year in Glasgow to attend university. I haven’t lived in England for more than six years and although the mortal terror I feel almost constantly is more a product of my own personality disorders than an indictment on the town [...]
