Minus twenty two degrees. So fucking cold that I felt the need to write it out longhand. What’s that all about? Looks like it’s going to be another weekend of shutting the door and huddling round the radiator at Chez Palmer. I had harboured ambitions of catching a bit of footy at the weekend, however [...]

Snow funny any mair
Right. I’m officially sick to the back teeth of snow. I mean, building snowmen, snowball fights and sledging are indeed endearing side effects of the current cold snap but quite frankly it’s gone on too long. I want a fucking inquiry into this. Temperatures are so low that our central heating is overwhelmed and just [...]
Resolutions
I’ve almost forgotten how to use the interface in WordPress. That’s how long it’s been since I last posted on this blog. I’ve missed it. I’ve become far too fond of posting my thoughts immediately through Twitter, which whilst useful, leads to bitesize snippets of my day to day existence in 140 characters or less. [...]
Rarer than a juggling monkey on a scooter
Yes indeed. That’s how rare posts on this here blog have become. I can’t believe I’ve not update since August. A lothas happened since then. Not much of it exciting. Mostly working, eating and in the case of the kids, growing. I’m finding that Twitter is stealing most of my good material from the blog [...]
Wee Minute Girl/I’d swap world peace for a minutes peace
It’s been over four weeks since I last posted here. The lack of input has been for no other reason than a complete lack of time. Why so busy? Well, July 8th 2009 saw the arrival of our baby daughter Elise. With two kids now, we are suddenly three times as busy (how does that [...]
Delurking day @ Three Minute Boy
I’ve got feck all to write about today. I’m lacking inspiration on a totally colossal scale. The usual round of jakeys, junkies and reprobates which punctuate these pages must be on their summer holidays. I’m suspecting there’s some kind of package deal on offer where they can presumably go to Spain for a fortnight and [...]
London smells of jobbies
A provocative title, I’m sure you’ll agree. Cue a deluge of abuse from Pearly Kings and Queens in my comments page. I’m not saying London always smells of jobbies. But it did yesterday. In the vicinity of London Victoria tube station to be precise. It smelled like the drains used to smell on Spanish package [...]
The Bomb That Will Bring Us Together
If you want to wipe out Ned-dom in one fell swoop, there is an easy solution. Bomb every fairground and amusement arcade in the country. That’s the conclusion I’ve drawn from last nights trip to the fairground at Leith Links. Arriving prior to the 6 o’clock opening time, we decided to kill some time in [...]
Ten days which didn’t change the world
It’s been exactly ten days since I last posted here. Piss poor statistic I know, but ten is a nice round number. So what’s been happening? Well, we are now just over 3 weeks away from the due date of the baby. That’s not a piss poor statistic. That’s quite a scary fact. There are [...]
On a wide variety of topics
Again, Twitter has inhibited my desire to write more frequently and freely on this blog. A lot of the more spontaneous situations I encounter tend to end up on there now instead of being stored up in my head and regurgitated on here later in the week. Hopefully, I’ll still manage to find the odd [...]
