I’ve been trying to write a blog post about my illness, specifically about the night that I nearly died, for a while now. It’s a story I’ve told to my friends over and over again, and despite it’s grim subject it’s something I can rely upon to have people laughing out loud. Trying to make [...]

Yesterday was a trip into London to meet up with my mother for lunch, and then look at some art galleries and bicycle shops around the Brick Lane area. It was nice to get out of the small town where I usually find myself, but after the bike ride on Tuesday I rapidly became too [...]

Mar 17, ’10
6:37 PM
Way back in the eighties, there was a program called the “Why Don’t You…” Club, which generally encouraged people to get up off the couch and do something. This something was usually illustrated by some people demonstrating it on TV. Today – actually, as I write this, today, not the more generalised contemporaneous version of [...]
Being on ‘the sick’ is making me sick
Feb 12, ’10
11:12 AM
Every day that I’m on “the sick” is extremely stressful. It’s very rare that I don’t need to call up some government department related to the job centre and correct them. This involves playing phone tag with uncaring, bored people in phone centres. I just got off the phone with Atos, the private healthcare company [...]
