Once I realised you could get black Christmas trees from Argos it just had to be done.

Besides yours truly that's Steve who moved in a little while ago, nice lad very camp, and my friend Claudia who's Polish and wonderful.

Bummer.

I just had a live Stepmother in yesterday. You should have asked.

Thanks @Sky, I will check that out. I might need a lectern for that – probably couldn't lift the book onto it, mind ;) I worked out that reading while lying sideways stopped it falling on my face. Seriously though if you're looking to get back into sci-fi from fantasy go and read all of Iain M Bank...

"The Ascent of wonder - The evolution of Hard SF."

is the most annoying one.

It's hardback and over a thousand pages strong.

Try falling asleep reading and have that fall on your nose.

It hurts.

So a 'mostly pretty funny wanker' you say?

I can live with that.

Sky'sGoneOut

Being on my own, I'll be spending Xmas on my own: long lie-in, tuck in to the books I've laid out to beguile myself I ordered two 1000 page long compendiums of Hard Sci-Fi short stories for myself. For me Christmas is all about reading tales that teach me String Theory while watching classic Japane...

Sky'sGoneOut

I do apologise for being a wanker in the past.

So what are we all doing for Christmas?

I'm staying here and watching something from Studio Ghibli.

Sky'sGoneOut

Could we next have a chat about me being an arse?

Sky'sGoneOut

Sorry Yahyah. I've been there myself more than once. My last one was 19. I'd had her nearly half my life. What a state I was in.

You should still go to Cuba though.

Sky'sGoneOut

I love you guys.

Sky'sGoneOut

That's always horrible. That sadness at the death of the cat alongside the whooping about finally being able to go on holiday. I don't believe even Jonny Cash ventured there. Anyhoo I've been to Cuba. My advice is to go. Havana is falling to pieces and it's colonial architecture won't be there for m...

And just to confirm I am now officially mad and am not to be messed about with by the DWP with any of their nonsense for a whole year. Not something that is commonly celebrated but after two years fighting for it I confess a smattering of pride. It feels like I'm on some weird holiday in my own life...

Sky'sGoneOut

Blimey, thank's folks.

Sky'sGoneOut

Dance with me Lady Centauria.

Sky'sGoneOut

I've fucking done it.

Support group.

After two years of fucking about it would appear my efforts have borne benefit fruit.

And I'm going to be getting nearly a grand in backdated payments.

I'd celebrate with you lot if I knew how.

Sky'sGoneOut

My Dad called me 'cock'\'cocker' when I was a kid.

And if my inheritance doesn't match my expectations there are many other such tales to be told.

Sky'sGoneOut

Are you suggesting they're treating me as some kind of pet?

Sky'sGoneOut

Yesterday night I even got beer. Four cans of Abbot Ale with an expiry date next year. What kind of sick monkey throws perfectly good beer in the bin?

Sky'sGoneOut

Star Wars . The proper one without any of that cgi shit. The Big Lebowski . The first Christmas present my parents ever returned to me. Alien . Our neighbour at the time was the projectionist for Berwick's only cinema. I saw Alien when I was nine years old. El Topo . Honest to god what the fuck? My...

This one's right next door to a church so you can drop down from the church wall. An ecclesiastical breach in their defences.

Sky'sGoneOut

As an addendum may I stress for anyone thinking of getting up to this kind of the thing the importance of taking a torch. In my infinite wisdom I failed to foresee that creeping about in the dark in a strange place might be made slightly less irksome if one had some kind of convenient light source t...

Sky'sGoneOut

A friendly vegan freegan told me of a Waitrose not far away you could get in and out of pretty easily so earlier tonight dressed all in black wearing my beret, like a French ninja, I made my way up there, and besides jumping down off a wall into some darkness I judged to be much closer than it actua...

Farcical. Utterly farcical. Excuse me if I go on a bit here. So I got there on time and sat in the waiting room with 5 other people. One by one they were called up and told their documentation from the DWP hadn't shown up so their assessment would have to be re-scheduled. Until it got to me then not...

Sky'sGoneOut

Thanks OhSo, if you can get me some hot pokers and brimstone by Friday I'd gladly give them Hell otherwise all I can offer is a pissed off scowl making them aware I'm not happy to be there. Is that evil enough?

Sky'sGoneOut

You're right of course Yahyah. Reason should always prevail.

But that was the hardest political kick in the balls I've ever experienced...and I've had a few.

Sky'sGoneOut

I'm Scottish, most of my family were Yes voters. You might hear this shit on TV of we Scots getting on with each other in the aftermath. It's bollocks. A fantasy. I still feel sick waking up knowing my countrymen were such pussies. I try to pretend not not to care anymore yet still keep getting rath...

Sky'sGoneOut

Anyone here could tell you I'm not fit to be in human company. The DWP however seem rather less keen to admit my malaise. I have my psychiatrist telling them that, I have my cognitive behavioural therapy 'team' telling them that, I have my doctor and my medication telling them that, I have myself de...

The back of my place is entirely Brambles. I've got a bag in my freezer bursting with blackberries. Though in way of warning eating them every day can cause a certain looseness about the bowels. I remember my mother straining various fruits over the bath in an old bedsheet making Jam/Wine/Chutney. M...

I got my letter today, in three weeks time I have to face some loathsome fuck in the shape of a nurse who has taken the Devils shilling.

Last time I wasn't quite so prepared.

This time things are going to be different.

Sky'sGoneOut

I'm from Berwick Upon Tweed.

I'm neither one nor the other.

But if those stupid bastard Scots don't vote for themselves this time I'll never eat haggis again.

Thank's for the invite, I knew you all loved me.
