Ah. I can barely describe the disappointment football brings to Newcastle United supporters. I’m sure plenty of clubs’ supporters have just as much right to moan about lack of success and desires to win more often than they do. Yet I claim Newcastle United is different.
There aren’t many cities in Britain that have just one [...]

The Resurrection?
On Life
I learned a few things over the past few days.
All men are bastards. It is true. Except me of course.
Friends are often the least interested in what you have to say. Perhaps it is because they already know what you are going to say. More likely they just get bored listening to you.
You learn more [...]
Garth
When you find yourself in a dark place, and you don’t know what to do, most people turn to their friends. Likewise, so did I. I found two friends that were likely to have differing opinions on the situation. That way, if they agreed, that would obviously be the best course of action. However, they [...]
Patchwork Quilt
So far this week, two major patches have been released: Patch 2.4 for World Of Warcraft, and Patch 2.5 for WordPress.
The new WoW patch was implemented on Wednesday, promising yet more content, including more daily repeatable quests and more dungeons. But it’s not what I really wanted. Who wants to do the same thing over [...]
No Pain No Gain
I awoke yesterday to a nosebleed. Nosebleeds are not unusual for me, I get them very infrequently but often enough to realise that I should carry a handkerchief or tissue with me. I am unsure as to whether there is some residual cause of these nosebleeds — are they caused by some hidden complaint? They [...]
A Week In Kent
Usually when I visit Kent, I describe each day, and what happened. But I don’t think I’m going to do that this time. No. In fact, I’m just going to cobble together the pieces that resound in my head as I type.
The most important task in coming down is meeting the people that made me [...]
Little White Lie
Just about exactly a week ago, I told a small lie.
I had been invited to have dinner with some uni friends - they were making a roast. I wanted to go, of course, but Mum was rather unwell. She could barely move. She had to take two days off with it; and to say that [...]
Caution To The Wind
What makes a secret a secret? If I put it another way, if you have a thought, at what point does it become a secret? I think a lot, and I told a friend a few of them today, but I did two things. Firstly, I told that friend not to spread what I had [...]
To Prove A Point
Time for some evaluation. Having highlighted my mistakes in the last few days, I start to balance the points of the current situation. I should be thankful I didn’t start a career I might not have enjoyed. I should be grateful that I went to a University where I enjoy doing the work (on the [...]
Oh Life
What a strange day. I went in this morning to Uni to do some revision sessions. Everything seemed to be fine. After the final revision session, as we were leaving, news filtered through that a student on our course, Andy, had died yesterday of an acute asthma attack. It knocked me sideways a bit, because [...]
