What is Bravery?

Posted on February 25, 2012 by

Something I don’t particularly have. I think there’s a number of different kinds of bravery, from the macho aggressive to the quiet and resolute. It’s something that you see in people, rather than feel in yourself. If you feel it, … Continue reading →

Who Invented the Leaf-blower and Why? (AKA What the Hell is Wrong with a Broom?) WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT OUR SOCIETY?

Posted on February 24, 2012 by

I used a leaf blower once. Not really to blow leaves, but to get dust and dirt out of a pavement in a day’s work as a hygeine operative for a temp agency in St Albans. It was the more … Continue reading →

How Do You Motivate A Depressed 15 Year Old Boy Who is Addicted to Computer Games and Hates the Outside World?

Posted on February 22, 2012 by

So, the big unspoken flaw in this whole project is that I’m massively unqualified to answer just about any question. Here though, we’ve got something even more out of my range than usual. Dragging a young person out of depression … Continue reading →

What Is The Point of the BBFC? Do We Need It?

Posted on February 21, 2012 by

I find there something pleasantly soothing about the BBFC, which is quite odd for something that is essentially a tool of censorship, or at least historically has been. Partly, I believe, this is because it has quite a large role … Continue reading →

Are hatters still mad? Can mooredraw do this one?

Posted on November 18, 2010 by

Just did some fact checking. Like I was a proper writer or something. It turns out I wasn’t even sure if a hatter was a milliner or not. Like, was the mad hatter (apparently just the hatter in the books) … Continue reading →

Why do people wear those slotted glasses? (You know the ones that are all plastic in lines hung on stands in the Laines in Brighton)

Posted on November 12, 2010 by

Kanye made it happen. Though travelling back, I still remember the first time I saw them. I’m not sure if it was real. It was during the tail end of my first period of madness (about ten years ago now). … Continue reading →

Why is it so hard to find people who don’t think sleeping with dogs is horrible?

Posted on November 10, 2010 by

I’m going to take this literally rather than use the common perjorative ‘dogs’ to mean ‘ugly people’. Mostly because I can’t believe my gorgeous questioneer would’ve lost so much faith in her own sexiness, or that she’d be attacking my … Continue reading →

Where is my libido? Would putting up signs on lamp posts result in someone calling me to inform me they’d found it squashed on a road or up a tree? Are there too many questions?

Posted on October 22, 2010 by

You’ll only get notification if you have a decent picture. I don’t know how you photograph a libido, especially one reported missing. You may find that any representative photography would get you in a lot of trouble if posted on lamp-posts … Continue reading →

What does it feel like when we die?

Posted on October 21, 2010 by

So, I’m normally somewhat underqualified to answer these questions, but for reasons that should be fairly obvious, this one takes the biscuit. I do not know what it feels like when we die. I have fears, I have hopes, and … Continue reading →

Why Is The Night Time The Right Time? (it is by the way)

Posted on October 20, 2010 by

Because it rhymes. And everyone knows that rhymes is truths. Also, they mostly come out at night, mostly. Also. It’s when the stars might be out (and they came from the stars, I saw them) and the moon is in … Continue reading →
