The undoubted highlight of my social calendar last year was the raucous week spent on Rhodes for Jonathan & Suzanne’s wedding. Although it fell during my somewhat extended blogging hiatus, I can tell you Lindos was lovely, we met lots of good people and had fun in rather epic proportions. Once back in Blightly I [...]
For once I actually have a decent excuse for not having posted lately — work has been completely hectic, and to be honest I’ve felt totally drained. A couple of weeks ago, in the early hours of the morning, there was a big power outage at the data centre that’s home to our main server [...]
After watching the spectacle of Royal De Luxe’s Sultan’s Elephant on Saturday, there was no way I was going to miss the final day. Thankfully the weather was really warm and sunny this time, so I left my brolly at home. Got to Piccadilly at about 2.30 to see the elephant, then made our way [...]
Jesus, that’s really big! was my thought when I arrived to see the Sultan’s Elephant at Trafalgar Square at lunchtime today. Then, Jesus, and it’s sat down too!. Unfortunately I turned up too late to see the elephant waking the girl up with a shower, then the little girl going for a stroll and letting [...]
My Weekend With Keira, Gwyneth and Kate OK, before I go any further, an apology: at the festival we had the opportunity to kill Vernon Kay and we failed to act. I am truly sorry. With that confession out of the way, on to my time at Glastonbury (this will probably be quite an unnecessarily [...]
Hurrah! That deranged wanker’s gone! There’s no point in me displaying false modesty; clearly it was World of Badger that forced David Blunkett to resign (or for the Sun readers, It Was Badger Wot Done It). Let’s examine the evidence: November 25th: I announce my intention to stop Blunkett with my David Blunkett Voodoo Doll. [...]
Found these drawings a while ago. Apparently they were done by the actual Simpsons artists around the time of Pulp Fiction’s release. Hope no one objects to me putting them up – thought they were too funny not to be shared…

“What democracy looks like.” — Tim Robbins Yesterday millions of people around the globe protested against the war, in 603 cities as diverse as Moscow, Kiev, Amsterdam, Budapest, Lyon, Marseilles, Sofia, Brussels, Stuttgart, Toulouse, Thessaloniki, Warsaw, Bern, Paris, Mostar and Copenhagen. As the Independent put it, a groundswell of dissent encircles the globe. Some of [...]
Maybe his mum blew the money down the Bingo!!! Wednesday turned out to be a more interesting day in court, with quite a few comedy moments (think stereotypical East-end types). Thankfully the we got through the rest of the interview transcript in about half an hour, then the jury was sent down to the canteen [...]
Don’t Panic! The “Dad’s Army case”, as we’ve started to call it, is getting slightly more interesting, with tales of drugs, mysterious characters called Victory, and witnesses using words like “scumbag”, “dirtbag” and “filth”. Unfortunately Tuesday afternoon was spent listening to the prosecuting advocate and a detective reading out the transcripts of several interviews with [...]
Scumbags 1, Criminal Justice System 0 I was called for my first trial today. At 11am the Jury Manager called out 15 names, and we were led up to Court 12 on the 5th floor by an usher (there are two lifts exclusively for jurors’ use). Once inside the courtroom, we all sat down and [...]
Anti-climax I started my jury service today. Luckily on Sunday night I checked the map they’d sent me to see if there was a particular entrance I needed to use. Turned out the court I was planning to go to, between Borough tube and Elephant, was actually the Inner London Crown Court, and not Southwark [...]
