“Are you feeling brtter now?” I was asked when I emerged from Dr J_______’s adjusting room.

In a word … no.

I’d been ok until he decided to try and get me up to 6′ at which point the word “ow” escaped my lips – and was not the first word I’d thought of.

How dare Dr K____i be on holiday!

This weekend has been brought to you …

… by the words “Ouch” and “Fuck” and the number zero (as in amount achieved).

A back twinge on Friday evening managed to develop into a proper you-ain’t-moving-anywhere-sucker by Saturday morning and has, I’m sorry to say, maintained that for the past 36 hours or so.

I’ll be on the phone to the chiro first thing in the morning – well, just as soon as I manage to get out of bed. Getting out of bed itself has been taking up to 45 minutes.

What a lark, eh?

Now, if you’ll excuse me I have some more swearing to do.

Fuck. Ouch. Fuck fuck fuck.

I’m concerned about the possible similarities between the election of Barack Obama to the US Presidency and the reaction to the election of a certain A C L Blair’s New Labour back in 1997. I seem to recall a similar feeling of elation and a belief that things could only get better … and look what happened.


That said, kudos to photographer Nida Vidutis for a series of images above which – if there’s any justice – will become as well known as the Dewey Defeats Truman photographs from 1948 – albeit for a different reason.

Something not quite right

October 24th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Mundane musings

I was perusing the local free rag when I happened upon a report on an inquest. The unfortunate chap was killed by his own shotgun on a grouse shooting trip. The article went on to describe him as “a trustee of the Earsham-based Otter Trust charity”.

It occurred to me that he must have been a fairly focussed conservationist to want to protect otters but shoot grouse.

I then started to wonder whether I’d missed something – why did he support the gathering together of those otters?! Was he planning an otter hunt?
