Whiffle Ball: February 2009
http://whiffleball.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 07, 2009. Camden market and soho. After searching for the right bag in Portobello Road, I found my murse at an military surplus store just around the corner from Vincent House in Notting Hill, where I'm staying. Go figure. The following day, Shane and I followed Robert Wright's tour of Soho. Sunday morning is good time to wander Soho, because no one else is there as most of the shops (and other places of trade) are closed. While on this walk I spotted King Charles II in Soho Square,.

This is a revolution, not a public relations movement ”. Newer posts ›. February 27, 2011. Saturday night in the city. I met up with a friend tonight and we ate at Spice I Am. We had a great night of catching up and when it was time to leave I headed back to the QVB to wait for a bus home. I became aware that there was a couple next to me and I saw him take her face in his hands and they kissed as though it was their last night on earth. Sometimes people don’t suck. February 24, 2011. But onto the articl...

Bite My Latte: August 2011
http://bitemylatte.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 August 2011. In this post, I'd like to formally apologise for reaching 43 summers before reading Kingsley Amis' Lucky Jim. Christopher Hitchens is right, it is the finest comic novel of the 2nd half of the the 20th century; but not as right as some bloke called Toby Young, who chucks in the first half as well. Finally, oh fickle Lords of memory, please let the requisite time of forgetting pass quickly, so I can read it again. Labels: Ill-informed Lit Crit. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bite My Latte: Larvatus Prodeo: A four-cannon salute
http://bitemylatte.blogspot.com/2012/04/larvatus-prodeo-four-cannon-salute.html
Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Larvatus Prodeo: A four-cannon salute. Sad news as the good ship Larvatus Prodeo. Hoists anchor and departs the waters immediately to our south. Fort Solor duly issues four-gun salute. Sargento da Costa. Dispara! In addition, Tenente Amilcar has already boarded our caravel A Infanta Beatriz,. To harrass any Holandes who may impede her path. (If you spot him, FFS tell him not to lose our ONLY breech-loading swivel gun, like last time I sent him to New Holland. Under the same names?

Bite My Latte: October 2011
http://bitemylatte.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 October 2011. Please invade us and terminate this 300 years of stupidity. Our Head of State can now be a woman. Even if there’s another option. Plus s/he can marry a Catholic (though naturally, she can’t actually be. One, like say, me: a secular atheist who was baptised a Mick – and all my relatives). Obviously, I've always wanted to be part of nation that wouldn't have people like me as top dog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Please invade us and terminate this 300 years of s.

Friday, 11 February 2011. Ngrams - you know you want to. Listen here, philologists amateur and professional: Google Ngrams. Highly groovy. You can check the relative usage of particular words over a 500-year period - and also compare British v American English. For example, ruthful. Blips up in the 1580s before succumbing to its ruthless antonym. And here you'll note that connexion. Was really quite competitive with connection until the 1850s (indeed, it was winning in the early 19th century):.

Bite My Latte: A Bumper Crop of DVD Rankings!
http://bitemylatte.blogspot.com/2012/01/bumper-crop-of-dvd-rankings.html
Sunday, 8 January 2012. A Bumper Crop of DVD Rankings! As Peter Sellers put it in "Being There", I like to watch. This comes straight off my phone, where I record the videos I've watched. Quite a few months worth here. I rank them 1-10, 10 being the highest. The only editing I've done to the list is take it out of chronological order, and group them by score. From D'or. As it were. Occasionally I note the Director's name. Love me no more; Red white and blue; Safe; The night the prowler; Cracks. If you do...

Bite My Latte: Recent Happysnap
http://bitemylatte.blogspot.com/2011/07/recent-happysnap.html
Monday, 18 July 2011. Wish You Were Here. 19 July 2011 at 12:07. Indeed. Although, referring to the previous post, it is of course the essential contention of this blog that all non-native Antipodeans dwell at the Fortaleza do Solor. Only some of us are looking at as estrelas. Think of us merely as your hosts and translators. And think also of poor Amilcar up on a kite last Tuesday, with charcoal and a canvas. Bom trabalho, Tenente! 19 July 2011 at 12:56. 19 July 2011 at 22:56. 20 July 2011 at 17:20.
