Keep a blog, lose your fucking job:

If I had a job, I would have been fired ages ago. But I get to say whatever I like because I'm self- employed, which, as stories like this make me increasingly aware, is an enormous privilege. It's a terrible indictment of our society that a man has to keep his satirical musings to himself in order to ensure his own wage-slavery.

Fuck Waterstones, man. Buy your books from that old guy who's only open two days a week and only has rotting maps and large print detective fiction. Order something, he might be able to get it for you, if he can remember where he put his glasses.

Watched Hellboy - pretty damn good. The director definitely seemed committed to the comic book atmosphere. There is hope for the Watchmen movie yet. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/1529.asp

Oh, hang on, Paul Greengrass is directing it, a man with The Bourne Supremacy as his towering cinematic achievement. First Terry Gilliam picks up the project, then Daron Aronofsky, and now... Paul Greengrass. If Greengrass walks out, I can confidently predict we'll be saddled with Michael Winner. Rorschach will be played by Lionel Blair, Dr. Manhattan by Chris Rea, The Comedian by Bernard Breslaw, and Adrian Veidt by Nigel Havers. And I know for a fucking FACT it will shit all over Greengrass's effort.

well I am obviously very happy to know that the new album is almost ready :) but what definitely delighted me was the final link. that was great. though I don't think i will ever use these plots, the "Murphy's Laws of Combat" are really funny :)

Whilst I have a certain amount of sympathy for the guy who got sacked, writing about 'bastardstones' and regularly slagging off your boss in a public forum could be seen as a tiny bit rash. Don't get me wrong I'm all for abusing my employers time and resources, but a little bit of common sense goes a long way.
