Listen to Uncle! Do as I say and not as I do.

An Enthralled Synapse...

of a "Forever Student"! In the words of Hedley Lamarr; "My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention". Here is an account of a man lost in a twilight zone of student life. A chronicle of one whose Wilderness Years seem unending as he increasingly becomes stuck in the labarinthine corridors of academia, issolated in Post-Modernity and crushed by tedious employment. And you thought only teenagers could be this self-indulgent!

Behold, the wee man just above tells you the temperature, relative humidity and windspeed of my location. He also indicates the air pressure, but why you would want to know that is between you and your conscience.

With our all so very complicated 21st Century lifestyles we can sometimes forget the important things in our personal lives, such as when we need to upgrade to the latest ipod, what our ring tone tells others about ourselves and what the state of play is regards World Wide Terrorism. Well I can help you â your ring tone sucks, ditch the ipod and below is an indicator of our terror level.

Sacred yet? Well you should be. You know what I do when I'm worried about the coming apocalypse? I go binge drinking and indulge in frivilous shopping splurges. Some might say that is akin to "fiddling while Rome burns". Don't listen to that! I say increased spending helps support free enterprise. Look at The USA and the UK; huge public debt but the freest places on Earth. That's what they need in Darfur â credit cards and Internet access to Amazon and Ebay..

You may note that the counter has gone! It seemed like a good idea at the time - nothing like a counter to remind you how geeky and unloved you are in the world. sniff But the page slowed down a lot so it's gone. Just imagine a small number.

The Avuncular Meme is basically where I post opinions and feelings regards specific shows, concerts and other events. I am under no illusion that my experience or take on such things really deserves to be heard. But I thought it would be fun to talk about what I have seen and since there are already so many poorly read or considered opinions out there, one more isnt going to shake the bastions of civilization or good taste. So why not click the pig mascot icon below and give it some small attention?

2. A damp water closet.

You may notice the comments below that were "removed by the administrator" - me. This was because they were automatic adverts that basically read that they liked the blog and for similar comments to visit their blog - which sold insurance, web tool programs or for business services. So I erased them.

The reason for the title of this entry was a flood caused by a leaky toilet two floors up from myself. This entry originally had me ranting at the carelessness of absentee landlords to maintain their properties, tenants who couldn't give a f**k and a council strategy that saw old flats being turned into student dumping grounds. This blog entry was 100% rant. Looking back it was obviously 100% badly written and my only excuse was that the spellcheck on blogger is abhorrent and that when I write angrily, I am oft to miss the proper key strokes and not notice. So bye Bye angry rant and hellow strange graphic of a nude guy on a pentagram.

Nuff Said.
