Agreed; I registered on Twitter, and then said “Actually, no” and logged out and never went back

All I can think of is how ungainly i would look clambering out of that...

Well, I have a friend (and former colleague’s) wedding reception to attend this week. Just me, as impending ex and son didn’t want to go, so I’m waiting to hear from someone else so we can share a taxi. Needless to say, I shall be getting drunk and fortunately I'm generally a happy drunk. If there's any, I'll follow…

True about the media; there’s no reason an interview should go on that long (presuming it actually did) other than the interviewers rubbing their hands together, thinking "This is gold!"

Thank you all for your kind words and support. If I am lucky enough to be able to spend a week or so visiting friends, I want to feel like it’s a positive thing; not running away, or even as a means to say goodbye. A post I made earlier this week triggered some far from resolved feelings in me, prompting me to start…

I’m thinking of reconnecting with some old friends and taking a holiday around the UK by train, before I take the plunge and engage with some proper long term counselling. I had some as treatment for PTSD and while I won’t say I enjoyed it, I appreciated what it for me. My current relationship is dead, and I would…

My attacker kept their clothes on. Never mind I was so drunk I wasn’t aware my clothes were being removed, let alone protest.

I don’t know how you feel about zoos, but London Zoo is perhaps my favourite place on earth. If I died tomorrow, I’d happily have my ashes scattered there

Keeping positive this week and very much ignoring the unpleasantness going on in life, so here’s a repost of my heterochromic (?) left eye;

Marine boy was my memory, but not on the original run; sometime in the 70s in the UK. As a side note, it’s the 30th anniversary of Akira, which my brother managed to score tickets to a screening of at the Scala cinema in London 

Pee-tamax...

Anyone else on Jezebel with heterochromia? I’ve only recently found out that’s the name for why my eyes (particularly my left) look like they do:

Thank you, and everyone else who replied; that makes it easier. It may be that I never even make it to interview, but I'd hate myself if I didn't even try.

A very specific question here, and perhaps one best answered by a UK commenter; I’m currently employed, but on a secondment to an area away from where I usually work. My problem is there’s a new post I intend to apply for but I really don’t know who to put as a reference? My previous (but still technically mine) line…

Fuggalos?

I came to the realisation last week that I’ve probably reached the tipping point where I’ve had more birthdays than I probably now have left, unless I live to (just below) a 100. Better stop pissing about and enjoy myself, I guess

Any advice for avoiding some of the tacticool replicas that populate sites like Amazon? Apart from don’t buy the cheap ones?

What if I want to catalogue books that don’t have barcodes?

I hope you recover well, and soon, from your surgery. As I’m sure other commenters have said/will say, you ought to feel so much better afterwards. It’s apples and oranges, but it was only after I had my pacemaker did I realise how shitty I’d been feeling before (I had a recorded heart rate of 25bpm when I was asleep…

Like the studio cares beyond knowing how their dollars spend?
