On St. Patrick’s Day, this Wednesday past – I ventured to Oran Mor for the first time in months. How could I miss an opportunity to see another Gregory Burke play? Wonderful writer.
The play has come to an end in it’s Glasgow run, but if you have the means – check it out in Edinburgh [...]

Question.
Society has surpassed all romanticism. We’ve moved from being a race full of flowing, splendorous poetics to one devoid of exactly that.
‘Wht u upto tnite?’.
Language has been basterdised by shorthand. Now, don’t get me wrong – shorthand writing has been around for hundreds of years & existed in even Shakespeare’s era – but with the [...]

You Can’t Always Get What You Want.
Words delivered by the great philosopher Jagger.
The Stones had it nailed. If you try, you get what you need. Trying is key. If you don’t try, you won’t get anywhere. It’s silly to lay dormant; to not grasp at every opportunity given to you. We have one go at this big stage show – better [...]

Funnies.
Okay – Having done some admin on this old mule; I’ve found a little ounce of hilarity.
I’ve just spotted my search engine terms ie. every search engine term that’s ever shown up my blog for key words etc.
They are as follows (most are laughable):

Here’s to the Tens.
Well, as all of the ‘Decade Review’ shows have so hastily pointed out – a lot has happened in the past ten years.

Resolute-tions
Upon reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that in the New Year, some habits need to be broken and certain elements of la vie du Philippe need some considerable change.
Much of an antithesis to mosts’ resolutions, I’m pretty certain that I need to elevate the amount of alcohol which I’m indulging in. Then there’s rape. [...]

Yuletide Happs.
Wowee – It’s been a bit of a hiatus AGAIN admittedly. I’ve been highly preoccupied with pretty much everything in these past few weeks.
A lot has happened for both good and bad, best and worse and you know something? I’m pretty damn fucking good.
I believe I’ve a new found thirst for life and want to [...]

Waving with Lapsang & Scribbles.
Okay, so aside from not having much time to write on my lovely bloggie wog; my post at Brewhaha is keeping me busy & content.
At the moment, I’m unwinding with a pot of lapsang souchong, watching Ghostbusters & relaxing. I’ve never been a great one for ‘unwinding’, or ‘chilling out’. I think I’m beginning to [...]

Tea, Anyone?
Ah. Bit of a lull there. A slight sabbatical endured, but here’s hoping I’m beginning to get used to my new routine with Brewhaha, tea & general writing.
I’ve absented myself, not entirely on purpose; seeing as I’ve only just been made aware by some who are eager to read my babble, that I’ve not posted [...]
