When on and off collide

Rules for when “real life friends” accidently find out about the existence of a previously secret blog: 1. Don’t mention it. 2. Don’t allude to it. 3. Don’t quote it. Seriously friends of ours, if we wanted you to know … Continue reading

It’s for charideee

The plot thickens (or rather, it doesn’t and I just realise a couple of things which I actually realised a while ago but ignored at the time)

So… it turns out that ugly minger shag is actually ugly minger girlfriend. And, annoyingly, isn’t that ugly at all. She is, in fact, incredibly slim and good looking. But she does have a rather prominent nose (which makes me feel better). … Continue reading

Do I even have lurkers?

So… do you come here often?

Blogging in real life

It’s always nice to meet new people. It’s especially nice to meet people who you feel you’ve known *forever* because you read about their everyday ongoings via the interwebs. Over the last two weeks I’ve been lucky enough to meet … Continue reading
