Well at least today the media is acknowledging that there is actually something bad going on in Hackney. It’s being reported as an orchestrated attack on Hackney and it’s feared that there’s “worse to come”. I’ve just watched live footage on BBC News of a growing group making their way through Hackney, again vandalising, causing … Continue reading
EDIT: It’s kicking off in Hackney now. By the looks of the lack of the news coverage, there seems to be a bit of a media blackout on the riots that are taking place right now in Enfield, London. I have a few friends in the area as it’s happening, and here are a few … Continue reading
Ok, so it took about five hours in total to do, but I’ve finally managed to import the entirety of the blog that I wrote back in 2006 through 2007. Importing the posts themselves was simple enough once I’d remember that it was a Typepad blog and I could export the lot, but the time was … Continue reading
Has anyone else noticed the slogan “Alphabet of Brooke Shilelds” popping up all over London? I first came across it at an Underground Station (I think it was Oxford Circus on the westbound Central Line platform) about a month ago and then noticed another on the side of a pub in Stoke Newington while I … Continue reading
As I’m feeling in a good mood right now, I thought I’d compile a list of things that I’m current very very excited about. 1. The Weather Yes, it’s possibly the most British thing on the planet to get excited about, but what can you say, I like the sun. Roz is already not talking … Continue reading

Anyway, it’s a time of year where people give up the things that they don’t like or that they feel they probably shouldn’t be doing, but what … Continue reading
So it’s Valentine’s Day, either the one of the coupliest (is that a word?) or the loneliest days of the year. If you’re lucky (or unlucky) enough to be all loved up, it’s yet another chance for banks to stick their hands further into your already empty pockets and force you to show your affection … Continue reading
Ooooo, the snow, isn’t it wonderful. No! No it bloody isn’t. Last night, the weather forecast predicted snow, and for once in their little lives the weathermen got it right; so this morning upon awakening I was greeted with four inches of the damn stuff. “But it’s lovely and it’s pretty and it’s blah blah … Continue reading
OK, part of this rant isn’t Sainsbury’s fault, but hey, who really looks at all the facts when you’re having a rant huh! Yesterday, I went shopping for some food at my local Sainsbury’s and because I spent over £10 I got one of their “The Big 5 Drive” peel-to-win game cards where you can … Continue reading
