The Lost iPhone

I’m sitting here, in the French bar who really should care more about us sitting here for 2 hours at a time, using their wifi. Rejoice with me, friends, for the lost iPhone is lost no more! For about 3 fretful hours this morning I was quite iPhoneless. It started by me going down to [...]

Now *this* is TV

Modern day stuff, take note.

Mice, Cats, the like

So, dad has just gone to drop John to his flight, leaving Mum and myself at the campsite until about noon tomorrow. The question is: what should these two mice get up to in their absence?

Weird Dream #4,302

Warning, this is actually weird. I mean, like, really weird. No, really, I think you underestimate the weirdness of this dream. Guys, I’m serious! Fine. Fine. If you want it this way, what do I care?! Go on! Read on! In fact, I dare you! 5 bucks says you can’t finish it!* Anyway, let us [...]

Age

Our third guest post is done by Steven Day – he chats to us about age Age is a funny thing. So much stock is put into the accumulation of random chronological units by society. It’s simultaneously loathed and loved. A teenager wants to to be 21 and out of home. A pensioner wishes to [...]
