Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Tax
An open letter to the PM I must admit that while I take a fair interest in politics, to a degree through self interest, but also through a desire for a unified and evidence based approach to the environment, I hadn’t really been watching the political (and more importantly) the tax situation that carefully. And…

Incoherant ranting
So, whilst I’m frequently prone to bounts of incoherent ranting, they don’t often end up on here… but I have just seen the election results. And seriously? BNP on the London Assembly, Boris Johnson elected mayor. I don’t even have the words. BNP representing one of the most multicutltural places in the UK? I guess…

y’what?!
So, as I wait for my Viva’s exhaust to arrive I’ve been riding the ‘zed to and from work. Thankfully, given the extent of the rain yesterday, they let me come home early (to be fair we’d just had a faxed-through flash-flood warning) and the bair-hugger did a grand job of getting my boots dry…

Zines
 So, today we had a discount London day, heading to the London Zine Symposium. Kathryn and I have discussed (her suggestion, and an awesome one at that) the creation of a zine for a while; and while we were in Brighton I spotted the card advertising it, and so we headed in today… …and it…

More Impressed
So, yesterday was spent doing some ‘preventative’ maintainance on the bike. If you can really call it preventative after riding it a week having left it sitting for 2 and a half months and having not done any maintainance for a while before that… I adjusted the brakes, which took longer than might be expected…

Conflict of interest
So, in my hospital above the glove boxes are located above the bins. The reason this is important will become apparent…. Against infection control procedure, I do, occasionally land up with a pair of gloves in my pocket. Being a latex-allergic soul, and the fact that the nitrile gloves are not in each bay, this…

Huge house / holiday / car update
Oh lord alive, I’ve not updated for a while, and there is much to say… There follows: So, let’s start at the beginning (since that’s generally a good place to start). At the beginning of the week (the one before the one before this one), as we commenced our ‘week of tormenting the house’ we…

Update from the plaster mines
All is not going to plan. Further work necessary. Full update when timing allows.

And for a change, we went to Oxford :)
So, having examined the pros and cons, we headed off to Oxford yesterday for a few more Oxfringe events; in the end we only made it to two; mistiming it and arriving after the other exhibition had shut… We did: Things on the wall (both venues). In both cases there were paintings I really liked (see, I am a…

Picture post
So, today’s been a day of doing car jobs. I had been intending, for a while now, to sort out Brick’s so called coolant. Having nearly had him overheat heading in to Oxford, and again heading into Reading I reckoned that nearly was close enough and it was time to bite the bullet and pull my finger…
