Douglas Adams, regarding deadly animals and dead animals

Hour and twenty minutes long, but well worth it. It's all about the male Kakapo.

Why I hate bit.ly, short.to, and the rest.

One of these goes to my home page, one goes to the Google image search results for "fungal infection".

One of these goes to a Google image search for "kittens", one goes to a Google search for "David Cameron fan fiction".

There are lessons I never learn…

One of these is "Don't put on gigs, it's too much stress, and you always lose money. Yes, I know it's fun at the time, and you always remember that bit, but for the love of god, will you remember the amount of worry that there is leading up to it?"

I've kind of ignored that again, and kind of started putting on gigs again.

At least this time around I am being quite honest with myself about my expectations, hence the URL: http://www.funwaystolosemoney.com
