So I made another new friend on the internets… Continue reading “Further Adventures in Hatred or: Leaving No Tern Unstoned”
Ringpiece Redux. Vlog #1.1
People have commented on the dreadful amount of “erms” and “ums” in that last video. Also, analytics have shown that few viewers were willing to sit through ten minutes of rambling; so I’ve edited the main point down to ten seconds.
I’m about to start #2. It’ll be more fun; for me at least because it involves rum.
A Scientific Approach to the Threat of Plastic Ring Carriers. Vlog #1
I decided to try one of these vlog things; me talking instead of you making the effort to turn words on a screen into a voice in your brain. It makes a change, plus you get to see the shapes I can make with my massive face.

Our Rock is an Alcoholic and We Are Happy-Hour. Part One

On the road I’ve gone weeks without a proper wash; I’ve also nearly drowned a couple of times. This isn’t about such severe ends of the bathing spectrum but more to do with an apparatus that was invented by a person and constructed by another; about the methods of its operation which I assume must have had a certain degree of reasoning behind.
