Oh dear
I don’t usually comment on gay issues. It tends to be a minefield where the wrong turn of phrase can land you in a lot of trouble. Mainly though, I don’t comment on gay issues because frankly I don’t really care what people get up to in their private life. Life is short and you [...]
On various matters
This is going to be one of those posts which deals with a mixture of subjects. First of all, the weekend. Barcelona v Hearts. What a farce. 58,000 fans in the stadium, which is no mean feat but the game was appalling. Barca never hit much above walking pace and to be honest, they treated [...]
So here I am once more….
…on the cusp of the weekend. Tomorrow will be taken up with a trip to Murrayfield to watch Hearts take on Barcelona. I’m looking forward to seeing one of the best teams in the world. It will also be good to see Barcelona ;o)
On the subject of football, I’m overdosing on Beckham-mania. America seems to [...]
PayPerPost
In the process of looking for a means of increasing online revenue, I stumbled across payperpost via a Google search. Payperpost is similar to a lot of other pay to blog sites but it has a much slicker interface and the initial opportunities open to you are much better in terms of revenue than any [...]
Calling all the heroes
I’m finding Leith a bit of a drag now. Maybe it’s the smoking ban but I’m finding that there are more drunks and general wastrels on the streets these days. I say the smoking ban because the ban has resulted in early morning drinkers (Leith has an abundance of early morning bars due to the [...]
Adsense/Nae common sense
I’ve added an adsense banner to the top of this page for a trial period. I’m really needing to recoup some of my annual outlay on sites. With a baby coming, the purse strings will have to tighten and adsense is a means of helping me along. Hopefully it doesn’t spoil your viewing pleasure. If [...]
Be alert. Britain needs lerts.
I decided to cycle into work today. Having not used the bike in months, this early morning decision resulted in me sitting in my boxers pumping up the tyres of the bike at 7 am this morning.
Cycling to work requires a great deal more concentration than walking. There are not usually that many buses or [...]
When bored, interfere with yourself.
Because if you don’t you’ll end up like me, standing at midnight in a queue of muppets dressed as wizards with lipstick scars scrawled on their heads. All because I was bored at 11.45pm and decided I might as well nip into town and pick up the latest J.K. Rowling masterwork.
So, there I stood, next [...]
Hairy Potty
My copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is ordered and available for pickup at Waterstones in George Street, Edinburgh. Thing is, I’m not entirely sure whether to go tonight at midnight to pick it up, or dash into town tomorrow.
As a result, I’ve decided to let you, my readers decide whether I:-
Get my [...]
Festival time
You can always tell when it’s approaching Festival time in Edinburgh. Generally speaking, the streets are littered with people giving you leaflets advertising shows which, even once you have read the leaflet, you still have no idea what the show is about.
Another annoying development is ’street theatre’ where basically some numpties with white facepaint come [...]
