Introspection of my accounts
There’s something deeply wrong about going from “Bacchanale de Samson et Dalila” (Saint Saens) to Bill Haley and the Comets (Rock Around the Clock!), but I guess if you have a playlist consisting of all your CDs in alphabetical order then what can you expect? Of course, the cymbals in Bill Haley sound shite. Grr.…

Advice for bathers
When taking a ‘long hot bath’ it is advisable to ensure that there is in fact warm water, and not just ‘sufficent water to fill the bath’. This is because post-submersion you may wish to cause an increase in the temperature of the surrounding water. Should you have failed to ensure the presence of hot…

I can’t see a bloody thing
For reasons that escape me, my current set of contact lenses don’t seem to work very well. The left one, in particular, seems to fail to allow me to focus on anything. They are the right prescription….I’m hoping that one more day and I’ll get used to them, but I’m thinking I’m going to have…

It’s not often I say this
Thank fuck for the NHS. Well, more for Europe. I’ve heard people attempt to argue that healthcare is cheaper in ‘merkia, or better. I’ve seen the figures and the research….and it’s not, it’s *way* more expensive. But anyway, what’s the use of fantastic facilities if you can’t afford to get health cover. I suspect with…
