Picnic and clubbing and xxl and missed flights (505)

Marvellously, we managed to have an entire picnic without rain right until the end. When we got a fantastic thunderstorm that made us scurry to Retro an hour early for gin and gossip.

Highlight of the picnic for me was squirting cream at Ulf. Highlight for moogal was probably Rassilon’s crotc...

roomba and me. And a little bit of politics. (470)

I had a dream last night. In my dream, I came home. It wasn’t my real home though, it was something I remember from my childhood. When I got home I was in receipt of my post. It was the roomba I bought on eBay. dirty, dusty, brushes missing.

The rest of the dream was about the end of the worl...

Arg! (421)

Oh dear. It’s pissing down. Rumour has it it’ll piss down on Saturday too. Do we
a) chance it, picnic with brollies in a terribly English way under a tree if it rains but trust that the weather forecasters will be wrong...
b) find a local pub and picnic there
c) other suggestions?

Tinfoil hats! (553)

Well, not quite. I’ve always suffered from not being able to sleep past dawn. At home I have very butch curtains that mostly do the job. Here in Berlin, I have some curtains made of tracing paper and nets. So I’ve been getting up shockingly early and going to bed at 10 for a while. However, it’s the...

General malaise (384)

The BNP get elected to the EU. This amuses me greatly. The stress of dealing with all those foreigners might just take its toll on the lovely Nick Griffin (no relation to Peter, we assume).


They get elected with fewer votes than they got in 2004. So apparently more people should’ve voted.

The pointless game of modern politics (437)

They talk of the left and the right. but what are the left and the right? Tories are not right wing and haven’t been for a while, their bid to become electable is to become more like Labour were when they beat Major. Labour are not left wing. Labour stole most of the Tories policies in a bid to beat...

The lives of others (476)

What qualifications do you need to become a politician?

What happens if you decide to ignore your election promises and instead chase money?

What happens if you decide to claim your second house allowance for your primary house and claim your primary residence is a room you rent from your sister?

Why I’m not voting. By Scott, aged 34 2/3 (478)

A long time ago some people decided that everyone should have a say in how things were run. This was a cool and groovy idea and not that many of them were killed because of it. They called this idea democracy and it was good. Everyone had to be nice, or they would be stabbed by those opposing them. ...

To the Lighthouse my friend (524)

Patrick Wolf, live at the Electric Ballroom, Camden

It’s been a long time coming, but 25 year old Patrick Wolf has a new album out in shops as of yesterday. To mark the occasion, he’s been touring. I caught up with him on the last show of his tour at Camden’s infamous Electric Ballroom last nig...

Yarg! (459)

Delayed flight means I didn’t get in until 12:40 Berlin time. I got the last bus from the airport and probably one of the last S-Bahn too. Skin of teeths 😞

Managed to remember to bring my Private Eye with me, one down, one to go. This makes me happy 😊

Oh. (474)

I should probably mention what I’ve been up to as well.

Last weekend, Mum and Andy came over for a fun packed bank holiday weekend of extreme sports (well, there was walking) and hospitalisations (well, I got a cold).

We walked from Zoologischer Garten to Alexanderplatz, went up the big aerial...

Sways to RHCP and flows consciously (425)

So I had a dream yesterday. A dream in HiDef and Dolby DTS on a world sized TV.

I was camping with friends and family. It was raining. Eventually everyone got fed up and decided en masse to head back to London as it was too wet. Water had flooded through my tent and I was soaked but I still wante...

This morning I woke up (596)

In a strange city. One might feel this is somewhat unexpected or somewhat expected depending on your point of view, but still. Sometimes things just hit you a bit. It took me 10 years to get over the fact I was living in London. I’d often just stop on a street corner and marvel at the sight of so ma...

Guten Tag (356)

Is it lunchtime yet?

Back in London for the weekend, had some beers with Liam and TJ on Friday night and watched sillyness on the tellybox (The Guild season 1). Was nice to have a chillout and chat at home.

Solid episode of Dollhouse, but not anything hugely engaging or ground breaking,...

berliner sleepeth (478)

Sat in a bar with free wifi — hard week this week, 11 hour days and fun like that. Bah. Liam visiting at the weekend, should be good. Some of us English types are off to see Watchmen on Saturday evening, if all goes to plan. Heading home after the next beer for lots and lots of sleep. Bah.
