        06/30/2007
        And a small entry.

        Our wedding was a dream. You know you're having a good time when it's your wedding day and it's raining and you don't even notice.
        I'm going to keep this entry short, because to attempt to do it justice in a few pictures will simply not wo

      • Death is the new sex
        06/25/2007
        Has anyone noticed how skull motifs seem to be creeping in to every element of high street fashion these days?
        I realised it was catching when I was shopping for baby clothes. Babygrows, bibs, sweet little hats - all with a smiling symbol of death. I think that nine months is a little early to

        One of the thrills of my day is that I have a choice of two short walks to work from the train stop. The usual route is down shabby College Street, past a brothel, chicken joint, disused pub and a gun shop - the perfect ingredients for a civilised family night out.
        The second street, Camden St

      • Description overload
        06/17/2007
        Going a bit wordy here:
        An adjective functions like a table sauce in the fridge of vocabulary - you add it to slightly bland-tasting nouns in order to give them a certain flavour. Writing or speaking without adjectives is a pretty challenging business - just try it and you'll see what I me

      • One lump or two?
        06/14/2007


        Watched the last episode of The Apprentice this evening. Besides the news, it's the only show I manage to follow on the television set these days, and it is a rivetingly toe-curling look at the so-called cream of Britain's young business-people. I try to block out the cartooni

      • And now the news...
        06/08/2007
        Whilst walking through the concourse of Liverpool Street station this evening, the big screen flashed up two news items:
        Bush to hold talks with Putin
        and
        Judge says: Paris Hilton deserves jail

        It occurred to me that there would be no harm in rearranging the headlines to

      • Canned laughter
        06/08/2007


        If you happen to be reading this and have some form of responsibility for the ad on the side of this lorry, it would be great if you could share an outline of the design brief with us. You have a truly magnificent command of the surreal, and the canned tuna market would be all the duller

        If you don't want to be subjected to this thing for the next five years, I suggest you get out and man the barricades.
        It looks like aerial view of a particularly unpleasant industrial estate. In fact, were I bold (or stupid) enough to place a swastika on this website, you wou

      • The stagnificent nine
        06/04/2007


        These eight fine male specimens are the members of my stag weekend in Dorset. The ninth, invisible one is my brother, author of this excellent image, taken on the peak of Golden Cap, at 191 metres, the highest point on the south coast. I'm the one standing underneath the 10-foot ci

      • Fight for the right to fight
        06/02/2007
        I realise that I take more shots than is strictly necessary in public toilets, but I feel that they speak volumes about a place and its people.


        Crewkerne is a smallish, quaint-looking town somewhere in the south of Somerset, and driving through it, someone in the car will probably m
