  • Generally I'm known where I'm known for sometimes getting a little sleepy in meetings. (Bad managing of my sugar levels) And today I noticed that if I don't wear my shoes in the meeting I don't get sleepy. I'll test the theory with other meetings I'm in. I don't know why or if there's a sciencey reason but it's an interesting discovery for me.... more

  • Was chatting with a good friend of mine, Ian, on MSN and we were chatting about my message to the past: http://tiny.cc/B5MXG and I told him about having thought/written about past me visiting current me. And we got chatting about the kinds of interactions past Ian/Ben would have with current Ian/Ben. I said that I had to nip away as I was making... more

  • I've made veiled references to my cousin being a stand up comedian. And friends who know what my cousin gets up to compete with each other to send me information of clippings or spotting him in newspapers or on telly. It's got to the point now where even my Aunt is sending me text messages about spotting Wil in the papers which I feel is... more

  • This guy really makes me sad, angry and worried that he's out there speaking on behalf of Christian.Watch the video (ignore the stupid laughter track) and I'll pop some comments after the clip.I'm a Christian. I'm a homosexual too. I know some people hate Christians and I know there's another group who hates homosexuals. So I'm double hated or a... more

• • Favourite type of violence.

  • Fairplay and I moved from talking about nuclear obliteration of Birmingham to violence and fear. The gauntlet was thrown down with the comment "There's another bizarre conversation for you "What's your favourite type of violence?" But maybe you wouldn't want to know your work colleagues on that kind of level..." I was determined to somehow steer... more

  • Listening to a podcast on the way home I reflected that understatement can sometimes hit us unawares. Today's Understatement of the Day award goes to Rachel Donadio, a writer and editor at the New York Times Book Review. She states that "Africa is a vast continent with alot going on". Thanks for pointing that out Rachel. We didn't know that... more

  • People who know me well know I adore Douglas Coupland and his novels. I was walking home and was thinking about all sorts of things after bookgroup this evening and a thought/memory popped into my head. After hunting through the Coupland novels on the shelf I finally found where the thought popped from. Generation X is an awesome novel. Won't... more

  • The strange conversations that go on around me. I was sat with a number of high positioned council types chatting about our "in case of nuclear holocaust" and "in case of zombie uprising" strategies. I was saying that I reckon my building would be defendable or that the council house would be a pretty good place to use. I think they've got some... more
