BBC Election Complaint 2

By

BBC Offices and MediaCity Footbridge

Arguably a tad tenuous but hey. ****** Dear Sir/Madam I note again that you have spent huge amounts of money covering what is now clearly a left-wing, socialist-promoting event, in Glastonbury. This is completely against the BBC’s charter to specifically be spending so much money and time on one long political event, designed to brainwash the young and middle classes into supporting what would be destructive socialism. It is not only the coverage of his speech, but also the reporting of it, and the tweeting of his “ace” speech – looking at you Radio One.  Deleted, of course but not … Continued

BBC Election Complaint 1

The BBC often annoy me with the left-leaning political coverage, but they took it to new levels during the election campaign. Looking back, I think I had an excellent point with this complaint.  Not so sure on the next one I’ll post… ****** Dear Sir/Madam I have just come back from my imaginary girlfriend’s house, Margaret, where I was watching the debate.  I didn’t really want to watch the debate, but she was watching it so I had no choice. Immediately it was clear that a pro-Corbyn audience had been picked.  The BBC had clearly picked a majority who would … Continued

No Booze Until No Belly

By

That’s it.  I’ve had enough. Until the last week or so, it seemed like every day I have either got drunk or been hungover. Since March, I have put on nearly 12kg of weight.  I am the fattest that I have ever been.  I feel unhealthy, I am unfit, my productivity is lower than it should be – though I have had fuckloads of fun in recent months. There is only one reason I put on weight, and that is alcohol.  If I have more than two beers, I crave shit food.  And then the next day, I crave shit … Continued

Complaint: Badvocado

By

Written when I was unemployed… ****** “Oh not him again”. Yes I know, you thought that you wouldn’t hear from me again now I’m unemployed (technically on gardening leave which means I do things like sorting out kitchen cupboards looking for out of date tins of pineapple), as I am now just a yellow sticker boy with an occasional foray into Iceland.  I shall still probably buy carrots from you. But on my last weekly shop with you until I am redeemed from this life of loneliness (I have lots of friends, honest), I have disappointment to proffer. Recently I … Continued

Londonniversary

By

Congratulations to me!   One year ago today, I loaded my boxes onto a van and said goodbye to Bracknell – and hello to London.   Yes, it is one year since I moved into my house in Harrow and started preparing for my new life as a web developer.  My new life living in London.   I remember that first week well – it was hot, which made moving and unpacking quite a sweaty affair.  I had an awesome pork belly lunch on the Friday at The Chapel in Marylebone, with Martin, and then walked around Regent’s Park – … Continued

James Went To Milan. And Tirano. And Zurich.

By

A couple of years ago, I decided to go on holiday wherever the random country generator told me to go. It chose Somalia.  I decided to over-rule it given the high chance of kidnapping and/or death.  It then chose Switzerland.  A much lower chance of death. Then I had the question of what to actually do.  Where in Switzerland to go.  I could just have taken cheap Ryanair flights to say, Bern.  Or perhaps a city break to Geneva or Zurich.  Or go see the large hadron collider.  Nowhere grabbed me and said ‘get your cheapo ass here’. Then I … Continued

2017 Goals

By

I had some goals in mind when I started the year, but I didn’t feel like setting any goals – there wasn’t much point in setting half of them when I was unemployed and had next to zero income. Sure some I could achieve that didn’t cost money, but many goals do involve expenditure.  It seemed pointless – but I had a list in mind. Now I am a fully-fledged permanent employee, it is time to set some goals for the rest of the year. I am writing a full set of annual goals as if it were the 1st … Continued

Black t-shirt png sticker illustration

Dear Society 5 I recently bought two t-shirts from you, I say recently, I mean a few months ago. It was my first purchase from yourselves. I wore the yellow one for the second time on Sunday, when walking around central London looking at the hot women on holiday in our not so hot capital city. When I drooled onto my t-shirt, I noticed that there was a hole between the main part of the t-shirt and the band around the top – is it a collar? I had only once previously worn it which was in Ibiza when I … Continued

You know those e-mails from recruitment companies?  As someone with the word ‘JavaScript’ on my portfolio, I am in demand.  Mostly I delete them without reading, but occasionally I am tempted to play along…especially when they have a Spanish name… ****** Good afternoon James, I hope you are well.

Review Of 2016 Goals

By

I never bothered reviewing my 2016 goals, or setting 2017 goals, as I was unemployed. Better late than never. Lifestyle Lose Weight – My original plan was to get down to 87kg last year, then 83kg this year.  Given that I failed, I’m amending this to 85kg this year (I’m currently 91kg as of writing). Failed.  90kg by the end of the year. 36 Day Detox – I’m upping it by 5 days this year (in effect an extra weekend, eeek!) and including processed meat such as bacon and sausages.  It started on 27th January. Passed. Get On My Bike, … Continued
