Which is better?

One of the people I follow on Twitter linked to an article about how dogs were superior to a girlfriend. I laughed, but one particular article in the ‘related posts’ widgit (a bit of code at the bottom that generates posts that might be relevant to the one you’re reading) which was titled ’5 Items [...]

Holidays

Oh how I loathe you. Well, not the actual holiday part, just the inevitable getting-up-early-for-them So, the average journey goes something like this: The alarm (currently Mmmbop, by Hanson, but it was previously Bach) will go off at some ungodly hour that I’d rather not let exist. Say 05:30. I’ll gradually pull myself begrudgingly out [...]

For this reason, many, myself included, choose to use an external photo site. In this post, I’ll talk you through them! Whoa, whoa, slow down! ‘external photo site’?? Right, [...]

Wanted

OK, I don’t usually use this space for asking favours, as that’s not my job. Writing content is my job. Preferably good content, although I may not always hit the mark. Anyway, I have one small favour, if you’d be so kind. So I’ve started using my new Air in school, for everywhere I’d otherwise [...]
