Please write to the Lords about the Digital Economy Bill, today Jim Killock, 01 December 2009 Tomorrow, the Digital Economy Bill is debated by the Lords in its Second Reading. This is the first serious discussion of the contents of the Bill: so we need to make sure the Lords know that [...]
As it’s almost four years and three months to the very day since the 7/7 London bombings, I thought this was as good a time as any to look back into the internet archive and see what I was thinking and blogging about then. I guess what’s got me thinking about this is the recent events [...]
Suffice it to say, no one should have so much alone time that few of his friends knew what was bothering him. Isolation is a set up for future problems. Source Interesting point about isolation. Some pretty shocking research statistics from Australia here, too: “Mentally ill endure lives of loneliness and exclusion“. I don’t think it’s unreasonable [...]
Ok, I know I’m a little behind the “News” here in my own little world. But, hey, so what? To be honest, I try to avoid watching or reading the “News” whenever possible. It’s bad for my anxiety. A couple of months ago I read the copy of The Times that was delivered free with our Ocado [...]

“Doctors said many operations were for medical problems – but some patients were thought to be suffering from body dysmorphic disorder, a psychiatric condition….” Last time I looked, Psychiatry is a medical profession and psychiatric conditions are medical problems. Sun-like and discriminatory reporting in the London Lite rag tonight.

Following Darren Fletcher’s unfair dismissal from the field of play due to a refereeing mistake, which will cost him a place in the final of the European Champions League, (along with plenty of others, no doubt) I wrote to UEFA, the competition’s organisers and self-appointed upholders of Fair Play to appeal. While I never really had [...]
Dear M. Platini, Darren Fletcher’s dismissal from the field of play during last night’s UEFA Champion’s League semi-final second-leg against Arsenal is a travesty of justice and an insult to the great work that UEFA does in promoting fair play in its competitions. Fletcher was in fact mistaken for another player – a player who fouled Cesc [...]
This is my experience of Setanta Sports, posted here for amusement and catharsis. If it helps anyone else or contributes to their ultimate demise in any small way, then so much the better! I subscribed in November 2007 to watch occasional United games. Everything was pretty much ok and I got to see United play most [...]
“Kaiserslautern were obviously missing bruised testicle victim – Youri Djorkaeff – and you feel one good ball from him could make all the difference.” From Nutshell – October 99 to November 99I was actually at this game (the first leg at White Hart Lane) and remember feeling quite deflated to discover during the pre-match announcement of [...]
I didn’t have any particularly strong feelings about London Mayor Boris YeltsinJohnson’s Barmy Booze Ban on public transport, which came into effect on 1 June this year. I don’t drink alcohol on Tubes and buses, mainly because they don’t have toilets. I do, however, enjoy an occasional can of Stella on my way home from work [...]
I feel like I’ve had my fair share of bad appalling customer service over the past few months and years. Maybe I’m getting grouchier? Is it just me? Do I expect too much? Or is the standard of customer service across the board nowadays so poor as to be effectively non-existent? Just last month I had [...]

At least this morning I didn’t have to deal with the jobsworth ticket inspector who once tried to fine me £20 for sitting in First Class when it was standing room only. But there’s something quaintly old-fashioned about commuting to work everyday while modern technology means that I could do most of the work I do [...]
A false smile can be hazardous to your health, leading to depression and other ailments, according to psychologists at Frankfurt University.
I’ve been commuting 3-4 hours daily to and from my new job for nearly two months. It’s not as bad as it sounds. I start off with a brisk twenty minute walk to the station followed by another twenty-five minutes snooze on the train into London. There, I get my first hit of adrenalin-fuelled rush-hour [...]
