Cocoon at Building Six 30/11/2013

Sven at Matter back in 2009/10 was just a match made in clubbing heaven and when Matter sadly folded and became the dross that it was in the intervening years, there was a hole.  A big hole. Maybe like the dreams of a perfect world of global peace and an economy that would always grow, circa the turn of the Millenium, it was just one of those brief moments of a utopian life, cruelly taken away with a return to reality. Sorry but you cannot have things that good. However when LWE announced that they had gone into partnership with the … Continued

Black Holes May Ripple Fabric of Space (NASA, Chandra, 04/06/06)

 It’s been a while. It is a rare event that I persuade someone to head into London or other out-of-town clubbing locations nowadays.  Various reasons – my main wonderful clubbing partners spends about 48 weekend a year studying, my life does not revolve quite as much around clubbing as it used to and the local scene in Reading has drastically improved in the last 18 months.  That and my burgeoning superstar DJ career – DJing does indeed seem to be even more fun than dancing – why did I not learn 10 years ago?!  My reputation is so great now … Continued

We Are Your Friends (For £1)

President Barack Obama and Prime

So last night I made probably one of the wisest investments of my adult life and bought Friendship. I am now a friend of the Conservative Party.  I can officially now be called a Tory. My new mate Dave, wrote to me straight afterwards: Dear Mr Winfield, Firstly, let me offer you a very warm welcome to the Conservatives. I’m delighted you have taken the decision to help us turn Britain around bybecoming a Friend of the Party. Your membership card will be posted out to youshortly (within the next month). As a Friend, you have a vital role to play. … Continued

Halloween Is Shit

Free halloween pumpkin decoration, light

Only Valentine’s Day tops Halloween in my experience in terms of loathed moronic celebrations. But it isn’t just the pointless aberration of the day itself – the impact of an allegedly scary day did impact upon me very significantly: 1. Someone sat on the train seat that I wanted to sit on.  He looked scary so I chose not to start a fight with him.2. Morrisons didn’t have any Goldenfry Gravy.  Any.  They look like they have stopped selling it.3. Ok I am struggling now but you get my point.     Halloween is an event designed to encourage child … Continued

Probably The Most Disastrously Worrying Event Of My Adult Life

Today is payday. Some people will treat themselves to the finest steak they can locate.  Others will upgrade frm 613 Oxford Road to a more refined Ascot hooker.  Others will eschew their usual 5% pure Colombian for their dealer’s special £100 Bolivian (the only reason I know about this is because I read an article in the Economist). I know how to live, and am always looking to take the minimal techno’n’roll lifestyle to the next level so I decided to pop by Morrisons in Bracknell so I could stock up on chicken Goldenfry Gravy. Do you see any Goldenfry?  … Continued

Fat And Limping

I don’t do enough moaning and ranting on my blog. I weighed myself this morning.  The shocking but unsurprising conclusion after a week of binge-eating was the fact that I have put 3kg of weight on and have reached a new morning weight record of 94.6kg (I have weighed more a few times but that was in the evening). What the fuck?!  3kg in one week? Very annoying as I was gradually losing weight this year and at one point had lost nearly 5kg which is quite reasonable for someone who does fuck all exercise except some walking and going … Continued

Ibiza 2013 – The Review of My 11th Trip

Ahh Ryanair.  It is amazing how many morons are on the Ryanair flight to Ibiza.  Can anyone answer if other destinations have such a high proportion of nobheads on their respective budget flights? I decided that it would be more fun to fly with Ryanair from East Midlands…first going south to Basingstoke, then west to Bridgend before ending up near Derby…as you do. Ryanair don’t make things easy so why should I?! Anyway, I wasn’t planning on going to Ibiza this year due to finances but there was an excellent offer available that I just could not resist, a few … Continued

Ibiza Blues

blue sky

 I was convinced that I would not get post-Ibiza blues.  There was a point during my holiday that I was quite looking forward to coming home – too much laying around and I was getting restless. Even a soaking downpour from the aeroplane to the terminal did not dampen my spirits, I remained in a good mood for the remainder of the weekend back in Reading. Arriving at work on Monday morning to 358 unread e-mails was a relief as that is not too high a figure, and I was happily working my way through them.  I was convinced that … Continued

Daily Express Weather Headlines

Little is more perturbing to the amateur weather forecaster, and certainly will be to those professionally qualified, then the spurious sensationalist weather headlines in the Daily Express. Weather forecasting is actually rather important, not only to the individual but to many businesses across the country – people will make decisions based on such sensationalist drivel that will cost businesses up and down the country, especially but not only in terms of the impact on tourism. The latest came on Saturday: The usual suspects have contributed to the article, notably Jonathan Powell of Vantage Weather Services, and James Madden of Exacta … Continued

James & Kathryn in London

Firstly I would like to thank the European Union for granting me as a proud European citizen a minimum holiday allowance. Every year I allocate some of these days to actual holidays (in other words, Ibiza), some to travelling to and from Hull, some to recovering from nights out at fabric, some to just random chilling out days and a handful are very special unique days. I missed my sister’s birthday party due to my superstar DJ career (well, she didn’t turn up to mine – what kind of excuse is snow???) so I promised a day out in London … Continued
