Chapter:

Hey, happy Friday everyone, we made it! Hope you’re all doing well, and that you’ve had a fair-to-middling week. This is one of the best bits, y’know? The runup to the weekend, where possibilities are endless, and all sorts of fun and awesomeness are yet to be had!

Me, well, since you asked, I’ll be doing a bunch of stuff this weekend! I’ll be seeing the Gambler’s Guide To Dying on Saturday at the Tron Theatre, there’s an Independence Rally on Sunday that I’d like to go and sketch at, I’ll be working on stuff for our nerd media collective project (stay tuned on that by the way!) and today I shoooould be taking delivery of some hurricane glasses, so FANCY TROPICAL DRINKS AHOY! read more

And Brexit continues

by on July 1, 2016 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Well, we’re now well into this particular catastrophe. Let’s recount, shall we?

  • Boris Johnson, one of the key architects of Brexit, refuses to stand for election to Prime Minister.
  • The list of people running for Prime Minister is a who’s-who list of people you’d rather were nowhere near power.
  • Meanwhile the opposition party tears itself apart trying to secure more power for itself, as public faith in Labour dwindles.
  • Racism is on the rise.

    So, Brexit.

    by on June 27, 2016 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    So, the UK has vote to leave the EU. And it’s all gone to shit already, quite predictably. To recap:

  • Our currency has tanked
  • Our Prime Minister has resigned
  • The leaders of Leave admit they don’t have a plan
  • It turns out that many voters didn’t actually know WHAT it was they were voting for, and subsequently want to reverse their vote.

    Political Fear

    by on June 24, 2016 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    As I write this, it’s 0430 and we’re well on our way to leaving the European Union.

    This is a bad thing. A bad. Thing.

    The only consolation is that Scotland thus far seems to be majority Remain, which suggests a sufficiently different political landscape from the rest of the UK – suggesting also that perhaps, just perhaps, we’re not as united as the myopic, imperial haze likes to think we are.

    I’d like to thank Remain-ers everywhere, and I’m proud to see that the two regions I have closest ties to, Manchester and Newcastle, voted in favour of Remain. You guys rock – keep fighting the good fight. read more

    Chapter:

    Happy Monday, everyone! You’d think that, having all weekend to get prepared, I wouldn’t be posting this at 0500 on Monday morning, but clearly we’ve all underestimated my ability to procrastinate!

    So I hope you’ll understand the brief post – Have a great week, and I’ll catch you on Friday!

    Toodles!

    by on April 1, 2013 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Another recipe, a quick and dirty one that provides a satisfying dish for when you can’t be bothered making much!

    Ingredients:

    75g of spaghetti
    2 slices of bacon (actual bacon rashers, not streaky bacon)
    1 egg
    2-3 heaped tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

    – Slice the bacon into small bits
    – Fry the bacon; No oil necessary, just heat the pan and stir-fry. If you like, you can chop some garlic and throw it in at this stage as well.
    – Boil the spaghetti (10 minutes, or whatever it says on the packet)
    – Break the egg into a bowl and beat. Add the grated parmesan to the bowl.
    – When the spaghetti is done, drain it and immediately return it to the saucepan. Turn the heat off.
    – Pour the beaten egg into the saucepan, stirring so that it coats the pasta. The residual heat will cook the egg; You’ll know it’s done when there’s no liquid egg left.
    – Add the bacon and stir it in well.
    – Serve on a plate or in a bowl. quick and straightforward! read more

    by on March 29, 2013 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Hullo all, it’s very very late so instead of posting  a rant I thought I’d share a recipe I’ll be making with friends this weekend instead!

    Ingredients:

    0.5 kg pork belly strips
    1 red onion
    1 white/brown onion
    1 fresh chilli, chopped
    2 sweet potatoes
    Powdered Five Spice
    Salt
    Pepper
    Vegetable Oil

    Method:

    Pork:
    – Rub salt, pepper and powdered five spice into the pork belly strips.
    – Slice the red onion into rings and lay these at the bottom of a roasting tin to form a stable base.
    – Lay the pork belly strips on top of the red onion slices and cover the roasting tin with foil.
    – Place in pre-heated oven at 180 Degrees C, for one hour. read more

    Niche, or limitation?

    by on November 23, 2012 at 6:00 am
    Chapter:

    Ello there, all! Today’s page is just a little Extra, in-between arc blocks, and is a little celebration of the fact that Elf Blood is just a little over 3 years old now! I’d also like to point out that I’m eating noodles, not Millie’s hairm which I have just noticed it might look like.

    Anyways, I’ve been brainstorming some ideas for a script submission. Stop me if any of this sounds familiar:

    Some people are born with magical ability. These people are identified in their infancy through monitoring systems in place with psychologists and social workers. These children are kidnapped and raised alongside each other in a government institution. There, they learn to control their powers, and are bound to serve the government upon graduation. They serve alongside the others that they have grown up with, and each team is a surrogate family unit. read more
