1. Must remember to remove people from RSS reader if they persistently discuss that fucking horrendous pile of putrid excrement that Channel 4 is currently passing off as light entertainment again.

Mountains of Madness
It’s only ten days or so until I embark on my little adventure north of the border for the LAMM. At this point I should be fit and raring to go. Except that I’m not. Fit that is. I am actually looking forward to it quite a lot but I am [...]
