I got robbed

I was in town on Friday morning, on my day off, and tried to get some money from the ATM but couldn't. I texted a colleague to ask if he'd got his salary yet and he had, so I went back home to check my bank statements, which I hadn't ...

Kids today

Someone at work borrowed my old laptop for three months. I got it back yesterday and she said 'sorry, the (PCI) wifi card is a bit bent. I'll get you a new one if you really want me to'. It's practically broken in two. If I borrowed something expensive off ...

Torchwood - S2e05 - Adam

Was I looking forward to a double bill of Torchwood last night? Hell, yeah! But when I switch on the computer my brain just goes *poof* and it was midnight before I looked up and realised I'd missed both episodes. Still, ve haf vays and means... it was 1am when ...

Abbot Ale and Babaganoush

The weekend seemed short, but that's probably because it was packed full of goodness even if it started with the nasty: on Friday evening, I found my virginal self subjected to a brutal rogering by Celebrity Big Brother. A moment of silence, please. ... Thank you. My initial reaction to George Galloway ...

I’ve got a gut feeling

I could have seen it coming. I was a little nauseous in the morning and had felt  'off' the night before. Hindsight 20/20. Late in the afternoon on Monday, my lower abdomen started to feel painful and bloated. I ignored it and continued working. But the pain got worse and when I realised ...
