I find myself absolutely appalled that Gary McKinnon should have his appeal against extradition to the U.S. turned down.

The man is nothing more than a computer geek with an unhealthy interest in UFO’s but has instead been labelled as a terrorist due to his attempts to hack into the U.S. Government network in a naive [...]

Disgraceful
Your urethra needs a slight tightening
Of all the post titles I’ve written, the one above may rank as possibly the most obscure. What inspired it was watching ‘Embarrassing Illnesses’ on TV last night.
What I can’t understand is what inspires people to appear on TV, drop their drawers and display their wart ridden genitalia to the British viewing public. I mean, [...]
The usual please. Tidy up the sideys.
I reckon I’m going to need a haircut in the next week or so, which raises a pertinent question. Do I just ask for the usual? I’ve realised that there must be a point in your life when you say to yourself, “this will be the hairstyle I’ll have for life”. Countless generations have proven [...]
Made my way upstairs and had a smoke, somebody spoke……..
I’m currently eating a Double Decker. The chocolate bar that is, as opposed to a small child from the brief, but popular 1960’s children’s TV show. I couldn’t manage a whole one of them. Especially not that prick who went on to front Aswad. Far too excitable that boy. He’d never be done wriggling out [...]
Spewing myself inside out
I am only barely alive. Or so it seems. Two slices of french toast and a bowl of chicken noodle soup is all that has passed my lips in the last 48 hours. It appears I have contracted some sort of sickness bug. No great surprise considering my wife and son both had it last [...]
Noah’s Ark
Ok. I’m sick of rain. It’s getting biblical at this stage. It’s not stopped raining for any length of time for what seems like the last week. Add to that the fact that the second week of our summer holiday was predominantly rainy and you can see why I’m starting to feel like the Ancient [...]
Stop. Get Out.
Princes Street used to be the jewel in Edinburgh’s crown. I mean, how many cities have a main shopping street where one side consists of retail stores and the other an extinct volcanic rock with a castle on top. None I’d wager.
So, why oh why has Edinburgh Council allowed Princes Street to be invaded by [...]
Good evening Glasgow, let me see your lighters in the air.
I’m speaking at an event in Glasgow tomorrow. Check me all grown up and responsible. I’m even on the experts panel at the end. A ‘panel’ no less. Only marginally less impressive than being on a ‘committee’ in my opinion. I’m going places me. Don’t expect me to be mingling with you proles for much [...]
Lippy/What we did on our holidays
Some days have strange twists that just make you wonder about the natural order of things. Yesterday was one of them. I mean, what are the chances of both myself and my 10 month old son both ending up with split lips by the end of the day?
My son’s was as a result of a [...]
