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.”
– (via topherchris)
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: ...
