– Anon.

I have never finished a computer game.
I’m not a big gamer, especially not in the last five years or so. But, even when I was, I never finished games. I didn’t even try to — it just wasn’t a goal. I’d like to think that this was more due to a lack of concentration rather than a lack of ability, but it probably isn’t.
I like games where I can just switch on and play for a bit; games like Mario Kart...
Swallowing - it's awesome! →
I’ve had flu and a throat infection for over a week now. Swallowing has been a very painful thing to do, and I’ve hated it every time. I haven’t slept for more than 20 minutes at a time because that seems to be the maximum amount of time I can go without doing it.
But, in the last few hours, the agony has gone. It’s still kind of sore, but I don’t have to jerk my...
I've been ill for a week now (not a moan)
Okay, maybe a little bit of a moan, but only because everyone knows being ill sucks, and you’re allowed to moan about it.
Achy bones and a throat so sore that I felt like crying and couldn’t sleep properly. I missed two days of work and have lost two weekends. But I think I’m getting better, and it feels good.

This acrimonious decision has been cited over the years by both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United fans as a...
Why do I talk fast?
I tend to talk really fast, unless I make an effort to speak slowly/normally.
The two main theories for why people talk fast seem to be:
We’re so intelligent that our minds work too fast for our mouths to keep up.
Our self-esteem is so low that we don’t feel that we deserve much of people’s time.
Yeah, it’s probably the second one.
Sorry.

Festival food. One of my favorite food groups.

I’m still gutted that the French food stall wasn’t at Download this year.
A group of us walking out of the office for lunch
Someone in the group: Oh, it's raining.
Guy at the front desk: Yeah, it's been raining for 34 seconds.
Everyone in the group: ...
