Sweetest Taboo

March 17th, 2010

I am about to tell you something controversial. Before I do this I would like you to clear all the expectations you have regarding tea-drinking out of your mind. Sit down and shut your eyes and let it drain from you, all of it. This is something you can only understand when your brain opens up a secret, special place: the place where taboos can be turned into dream-scape images. The place where things can be accepted which in usual Read the rest of this entry »

The old ‘Be Positive’

February 26th, 2010

“Please be positive!”: no three words—apart from “I’m leaving you!”, of course, and the one involving the word beginning with the letter before M which will not be mentioned here—have such an emotive, punishing, smack-you-about-the-head effect. Be positive, you think to yourself, cursing this big-headed individual whose absurdity knows no bounds, what kind of stupid advice is that? I’m hardly going to try and be more negative am I?!”

I used to hate the old be positive saying as Read the rest of this entry »

Enigin Stories

February 22nd, 2010

I had to smile when I read this Enigin Stories about how people always go over the top with their Christmas decorations on the outside of their humble abodes.

February 16th, 2010

This article comes with a disclaimer: this is just how it happens with me; it’s not necessarily what will happen with you.

I found this out some years ago—it’s a very odd idea, but with me it works every time. It’s something that seems ridiculous, but has proven itself with me a thousand times or more.

Some elementary maths

February 9th, 2010

I filled my car up the other day – Â£55 for 50 litres of your basic unleaded, I never have understood why anyone would buy the "premium" and indeed have never seen anyone do it! It got me to thinking where all that money goes, which lead me on to a little mental arithmetic while I was driving. I rounded the figures up of course to make the maths simpler.

So lets say you are a high rate tax payer, Read the rest of this entry »

Out of The Ordinary.

January 8th, 2010

What exactly is ‘normal’?

Many people would say that normality is a certain way of behaving, living and interacting with others. This is down to a sort of ‘social expectation’ that most of us have. If something does not quite fit in with what we deem to be ‘right’ then it is not ‘normal’.

But actually, there is no such thing as ‘normal’; at least in one sense of the word. We all have our own ideas of Read the rest of this entry »
