Gun and fames
I’m writing this using my TV as a monitor and a keyboard on my lap. In other words, it’s only gone and bloody worked, hasn’t it? Had a bit of fun getting the keyboard though. My original plan...
You should never tell a psychopath they are a psychopath
The photo I took of Philip Pullman when I got my copy of The Golden Compass signed. Killing Eve started on Saturday night over here. I’ve seen it already but it’s so damn good I’m watching it ...
*Insert clever title here*
I think I may have a solution to my writing problem. I now have a cable that lets me connect USB to my tablet. So, if I get a USB keyboard, connect that to my tablet, I should be able to use t...
Do online diaries dream of electric entries?
(The pic in my last entry was my niece so this time I thought I’d show you her big brother.) In another installment of “Will Forbes and his technology sucking”, while I was back home my Bluetoo...
The house band of K’un-Lun
My sister in law has said she doesn’t like this face that my niece pulls when getting her picture taken. I think it’s incredibly cute. At the moment, it’s ten past three in the am. So, natura...
Chikara Dojo
Hello there! So, got my laptop fixed, now it’s fucked again. The main problem with it, to be honest is old age. At the moment, I have no money to either repair nor replace. It’s annoying whe...
Blessed be the fruit
I’m currently watching the second episode in a series of monologues written and performed by women. The series is called Snatches. Yes, the title is deliberate. My laptop is in to be repaired...
There’s always money in the banana stand
Random bits and bobs while watching Arrested Development. I must admit that I’m bummed about Roseanne getting axed. Don’t get me wrong, what she said was absolutely reprehensible and I don’t t...
Here comes the Highland mannie…
I can explain my title. I can has broadband! I can has a working laptop! Well, mostly anyway. I can has beer! I can has Scotland on the telly! Shit, never explained about the laptop. Was ...
RIP
This weekend wasn’t the best for me. I’ll likely talk more about most of it later. Because today I found out that Yaffa Phillips died. (I know that none of you knew Yaffa, but I didn’t want t...
And the book says
Thank god for the royal wedding. Not that I actually watched it, I really couldn’t care less, but town wasn’t as busy as it usually is on a Saturday. I’ve had to change ISP. It’s slightly annoy...
It’s OK to not be OK
This is a sequel of sorts to this entry. We’re coming up on Mental Health Awareness week. And there was a big reminder of why this is so important this week with the suicide of Scott Hutchison...
Don’t tell the gods, I made a mess
So, turns out that my body may not like getting things done. I had the absolute worst stomach ache I’ve ever experienced. In fact, it was the worst pain of any kind I’ve ever experienced. That w...
Moving on
(I love Private Eye. I wish I could afford a subscription, it is definitely worth it.) I’ve got past the “drink heavily and listen to loud angry music” phase and have moved on to doing stuff. ...
Appeal rejected
Current mood:
All you have to do is call
(I know I’ve used that image before, but it’s fitting for this entry.) I’ve always been a listening post for my friends. I don’t mind, except when they’re so busy moaning to me to realise I oc...
To catch a killer
Those of you who have been reading my diary for a while will know that I’m obsessed with serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers and religious cults. I’m not sure why they fascinate me so...
Will went a-courtin
(In this photo is four generations of my family on my dad’s side. See if you can spot me.) I had to go to court today to give my declarative statement about this bloody fine. I got there in p...
Appealing to their better nature
I have been waiting for months to hear when my appeal against not getting ESA is going to be. Getting sick of it (as well as sick in general), I decided to phone them today to find out what was...
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Now, this is the bit of having a new tattoo I didn’t miss. The itching that I’m not allowed to scratch. Thankfully, putting more Bepanthen on it calms it down. I was supposed to get paid yest...
Funnily enough, I did genuinely ask for a 13
(Sorry about the blurry photo, it’s not an easy pic to take.) But, sadly, the 13 tattoo I wanted had already been claimed. So, I got this little critter instead. I originally thought it was a...
He asked for a thirteen
Guess who is getting a new tattoo on Friday? I’ve gotten past “a new tattoo would be nice”, gone straight through “I want a new tattoo” and “I need a new tattoo” and have long since reached “I ...
Another plea
(Incidentally, I did have the bowls from the Commonwealth Games on as background noise and noticed that they were playing music. Which is likely the only way they could keep the audience awake ...
Oh, hello!
Cool, I can now use Courier New! It’s my default font for just about everything, including a couple of tats I have. So, I found out why I’ve been getting money taken off my benefits. It turns...
Scrivening
Something completely unexpected but delightful happened today. I was watching a recording of a stage version of Hamlet starring Andrew Scott (Moriarty in Sherlock) when I was struck with the ur...
