Fire-Breathing Kites: June 2012
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Épinardor (The Spinachy Month). Here is a bit of an odd post. It's partly a history lesson, in that, it explains what the French Revolutionary Calendar. Was all about. Then I invent a new month for it which ends up a bit like a call-to-arms for people who are sick of wasting loads of money on bags of spinach when there are tastier alternatives about:.

Fire-Breathing Kites: January 2012
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Swifty had a cold snap on the cold slabs to deal with tonight. January was not a kindly or forgiving month: purse strings froze together at this time of year as people’s sympathy and goodwill tended to turn inwards towards themselves and be spent on gym memberships and plastic nicotine-spewing cigars. Fortunately, this grubby grotto afforded him a night of various nogs, mulled lagers and cinnamon whiskeys to replace the hostel bed. 8220;Oooh, yes, that’d be nice.”. With a “Blearghrghfrruckkkinnn do...

Fire-Breathing Kites: February 2012
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Just as every beautiful fluffy cloud is bordered with the tin foil lining from the chimneys of a thousand under-regulated chemical plants, every pretty frilly rose has its nasty spiteful thorns. Pick and consume these healthy jammy buds. Until that day, we should just try to live in a type of luxury and decadence which we will be able to fondly remember as we huddle round some smouldering wreckage in a nuclear winter.

Fire-Breathing Kites: September 2011

121 There once was an old lady who lived in, on and around her shoes. There once was an old lady who lived in, on and around her shoes. Grip and comfort were, to her, more vital to her continuing life than additional human contact. Life is bad to its feet. Life instrumentalises and belittles its roots, its grounding and its foundations. It never takes them for anything other than granted. Centurians to joke about industrialised mass murder. The real rot happened in her ankles. Typing and the seamstre...

Fire-Breathing Kites: April 2012
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Alexanders are the Great. Being part of the ominously named ‘carrot and hemlock’ family —the Umbelliferae. Are well worth identifying properly to distinguish them from their less-than-friendly relatives. So, doing as all good foragers do, I checked and cross-checked a number of sources to make sure that whatever it was that I was going to harvest was more likely to err on the side of carrot, caraway, cicely and celeriac than to result in a tragic and Socratic accident. 8220;Now the Juice of Alexanders is...

Fire-Breathing Kites: July 2012
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Here are a couple of Philosophical Agony Aunt columns which I've written recently:. This first one was inspired by a usually upbeat friend of mine getting himself in a mard about the political class' inability to cope with impending environmental doom. I try to quell his angst without sounding like a climate change denier (even though I probably still do).

In this piece on the elder, I expose a worldwide conspiracy on the common cold as well as telling you how to make an Eton mess for free (The deadly nightshade is an optional extra when serving to people who went to the actual Eton or the other, more oiky, members of the cabinet).

Fire-Breathing Kites: November 2011
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Hopefully this isn’t too much of a blobby and incoherent rant. It may help to bring together some interesting articles on the Occupy situation, as well as focus on a sentence which I invented once:. 8220;Not only are things more complex than what the government and media tell us; but things are even more complicated than kneejerk liberal assumptions would have us believe.”. The signs of capitalism’s demise have never been so clear. Is it the ever deepening financial crises? Hmmm Ok. Now, this is the ...

Fire-Breathing Kites: ByPlay Show at Pike’s Ibiza
http://leoleoleol.blogspot.com/2013/08/byplay-show-at-pikes-ibiza.html
ByPlay Show at Pike’s Ibiza. S been undergoing refurbishment since I wrote this about a year ago, I thought it might be good to give this odd little piece of mine an airing before the moths get to it completely). Up towards the sun-bleached mountains near San Antonio lies a little villa drenched in pop cultural history. It is bordered by trees sprouting pink peppercorns, has its own pink tennis court, and on the evening of July 17. Despite Ibiza Rocks (formerly Pike’s hotel. On show was a well-coiffured ...
