Freedom!

As someone who hates queueing in any form (except when it's a triple word score on a Scrabble board), but especially when the queue in question is for a stinky portaloo while my favourite band is playing in the next field, I think that this is per...

Turning into a bee

2008-06-23T14:07:02Z

If this blog has been rather quiet of late, blame the fact that I am mind-meltingly busy at the moment. This is because as well as being the phone-monkey for Clerkenwell Towers, I have recently also been promoted to the post of office manager. But...

The moon is a balloon

2008-05-09T16:40:02Z

So, it's my birthday today and I'm only at my computer because some vestigial sense of propriety made me stop drinking Pimms in the sunshine and come back to check my emails before I went off to drink more Pimms and get more sunburnt. I've been in...

QotD: Step into My Closet

2008-05-08T16:26:32Z

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year? Submitted by fightinggale. An embarrassing number. Let me see, off the top of my head... (deep breath): 1.Blue suede heels 2.Black suede...

A floppy-haired, elitist, racist philanderer...? Yeah, that's my idea of a mayor.

Oh God, oh God. Why? WHY? My poor, poor London. We don't deserve you. (Let's all hope and pray that he makes some terrible, unspinnable gaffe - like screwing Vladimir Putin's latest squeeze and then making a racist joke about it - that means he...

"I'm not coming on to you, really I'm not..."

It's been hectic this morning - our very demanding CEO is over from the USA, some travel plans have gone awry, I've been doing ten things at once and I've not even eaten breakfast yet. Which is probably why I just answered a ringing phone with, "G...

Miracle? That's right.

2008-03-18T11:00:07Z

Hello everybody. Here is the news. *shuffles paper, looks to camera* So, I decided to bite the bullet and apply to do a PGCE in September. The application went off on Monday and now I must wait, breath baited, for an interview. I'm hoping to get...

Theatre fun time

2008-02-22T16:51:41Z

Oooh! Oooh! Etiquette is coming to London! By "Etiquette", I don't mean using the correct fork at supper or giving up your seat to a pregnant lady. Such things have long since been banished from the Smoke. No, I mean Etiquette, which is playing a...

OAS strikes again

2008-02-22T11:19:20Z

So, remember how a while back I discovered that I was allergic to cherries as a result of oral allergy syndrome? Remember how pissed off I was? Well, I just ate a banana and now my mouth and throat are itching like crazy. Dear Lord. It is becom...
