Welcome our new overlords… in OD
More politics on an absurdly hot day. The new Lib Dem leader was announced yesterday. This was a bit of a boring election and, as expected, Jo Swinson won. The more interesting one was announ...
Yesterday, I went to an art thing at the town hall. We were surrounded by screens that images were projected onto while music (well, more like discordant sounds) was being played. Despite how it...
I never mentioned the volunteering thang. Last time I saw the bloke from Working Links, he signed me up for voluntary work. Gardening in a cemetery. Now, it’s not the cemetery bit I object to...
We’re heading off to the punk folk show in OD
Me and seeing Frank Turner live has a long and storied history. The first time I was supposed to see Frank live was when he played the O2 Academy in Newcastle with his sort of side project Mong...
Theme of the Week in OD
This weeks theme is: Tell us about a positive influence you had in somebody else’s life. This is easy for me. I tend to be the person that others seek out to listen to them and offer advice/hu...
Tripping up Trump supporters in OD
Today is a lot cooler than the past two days. This makes Will a happy bunny. Last night, I went to see Endgame and then go for a couple of pints. Happily, they had a Brewdog takeover of their...
I’m melting! in OD
It’s too fucking hot. Seriously. I’m not designed to cope with heat, I’m a creature of cold. I’m Aberdeen born and raised, for the love of FSM. Do you know how many days of actual summer wea...
It’s much too dangerous to jump through the fire with your clothes on! in OD
(This is the entry I had hoped to write yesterday.) I went to a special solstice screening of The Wicker man on Friday. (Original, of course.) The venue was supposed to be decorated as a fore...
About the break in in OD
So, someone tried to break in to my flat last night. I, miracle of miracles, was actually in bed and asleep at 2:30 this morning when I was awoken by loud noises at my door. Tired, still sligh...

WARNING: THIS IS GOING TO END IN A RANT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, DON’T COMPLAIN AFTERWARDS. END OF WARNING. There’s a painter from Boro called Mackenzie Thorpe. And on of his paintings is call...
On leaders and elections in OD
Yes, it’s going to be a political entry. There’s actually two leadership changes coming up in British politics. Lets start with the Tories, because there’s a lot more to unpack there. As disc...
That familiar buzzing needle sound in OD
So, yeah, about the pic… It turns out that the shop I talked about yesterday won’t exchange the top. Purely because I paid using PayPal. I need to wait until the top is back at the depot, wai...
Frustrated in OD
I had to wait in today. I had ordered a large Scotland Women’s World Cup home top, because I prefer the collar to the one on the normal top and it was being delivered today. Having waited in, ...
The end of May is June in OD
I wasn’t planning on writing another political entry just yet, but the last few days have been, well, fucking bananas. It all started on Wednesday. This was when Theresa May announced the time...

Just a heads up, this entry will be video heavy. So, I’ve got my next appointment with Working Links. So, we’ll see what happens with that. The new Thomas Harris arrived on Tuesday. I’ve rea...
A tale of two elections in OD
As warned, this is a political entry. I want to start by talking about the local council elections. There are the closest we get to mid term elections and, as such, are used as a barometer for...
Let’s go steal an entry in OD
I find it pathetic that they need a sign like this. I have lager. I have Scotch. Single malt. Finally getting round to trying the whisky glass and the whisky stone I got at Christmas. It’s ...
Ponderings to ponder in OD
I have some thinking to do. I had an appointment with the guy who has set me up with the placement. He said that’s still going forward and the council will be in touch with me. But then he to...
To the east, to the east in OD
Three years ago yesterday, I spent some time at an unmanned train station with a chicken. Went to see Endgame on Saturday. Wow. Amazing. I absolutely loved it. Monday I watched the latest G...
You can’t choose your family. Unfortunately in OD
I wasn’t planning to write again until after I’d watched this weeks Game of Thrones. But, having just spoken to my mum, I have to rant about my brother, my sister in law and just how fucking fu...
Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children in OD
Happy little lava lamp! The entry title is a quote from the film The Crow. I just picked up the graphic novel, so it’s on my mind. I’m currently re-watching Infinity War to prepare to go see E...
Did you know that “Ahoy hoy” is how Alexander Graham Bell thought everyone should answer the phone? Now, of course, the only person who really does is Mr Burns on The Simpsons. Thursday was a ...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm… in OD

I drink and I know things in OD
Game of Thrones tonight! Can’t wait. Also, finally got a release date for the new season of Veronica Mars. Gutted about Notre-Dame. After everything it survived, all that history gone. Foun...
