About Me

It feels a bit redundant filling in a few sentences in an "About Me" section when the whole page is supposed to be that.

There are much better ways for you to get an idea of what I'm like. Look around. Read my blogs. Actually ask me something?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, fun people, intelligent people, thinking people, reading people, writing people, creative people, funny people, silly people, people with new outlooks, people with new spins on old outlooks, gaming people, game-making people, film-loving people, and all-round stimulating people.

Why Railway Station Staff Must Be Destroyed

As some of you may be aware, I have a very real problem with our nation's public transport staff, particularly the train-based species. When I sound this most passionate of opinions, I find often that...

A Victory

So picture the scene. It's late. I'm making the long walk from my friend's house on the outskirts of town to the town centre where I can get a bus home. It's starting to rain. Noticeably. Not official...
