A few things have come down the wires of late that speak to some of my pet rants. So here are a few weekend links to consume with your coffee. A rant-based link roundup. Why not? Let’s begin with my longest running whisky rant: That accidental ingestion of hallucinogens is the most likely trigger...

When my father came to visit recently for my birthday, the topic of his AIDS hospice work in the 1980s came up in conversation somehow.

Like punk, it is called working class because...

A dear school friend accompanied me on my recent trip to Nottingham. Through a series of ‘random’ coincidences, he has ended up as the general manager of a large event construction business within three years of graduating from university. On the other side of the world. Over five to six hundred beers in the...

This morning I made a borderline witty comment on one of my friend’s Facebook status updates. He said he had just seen a steam train arrive at his station and wondered what century he had woken up in. My response: “That wasn’t a steam train. After I found myself trapped in 1885 I had...
