Dear lazyweb, I’m off on a business trip on Tuesday, which involves amongst other things a couple of 18-hour plane/taxi trips on my own. I’m not sure I can read a book for that long straight, so I’m thinking of buying a DS or PSP to pass the time. First...
Six inches of snow this morning! Settled! In March! In Bournemouth! That just… doesn’t happen. This morning was convoluted. Went to my normal spot to be picked up, car pool had got the train instead. Got drenched. Caught bus into town, bought umbrella. Waited 15 minutes. Got bus to station,...

A black man is the leader of the free world. Not only that, but one in whose inaugration speech favourably mentioned Islam, atheism and scientific reasoning. I think we might be on the right track after all. Or rather, I think they might. Because I’m not American. Before very long,...
Today has been a silly day. I present: Why LARPers should not have children. In related news, why roleplayers should not watch pre-school television shows. I will run this game one day, mark my words!
