Years ago I stopped at a service station in the UK. Above the urinal I chose to use was a poster advertising a helpline for men experiencing erectile problems. It was called something like “Man Matters”. At the base of the poster was a thick booklet of paper slips, each with a telephone number and [...]

On the 15th of March, 2003, I got my second tattoo done. Here’s what I wrote for my website at the time: A few years ago I was living in Scarborough. One day I was walking the long way up from the beach to my house, a route I didn’t normally take, and passed a [...]

This morning I got home from a trip to London. This trip was one part spending time with my brother, one part business (no, really, Mr. Taxman) and one part TAM London, “The Amazing Meeting – London” (TAM) being the biggest part by far. I’ve been reading a few reviews of the event on various [...]
