So the worst thing in the world today is boredom.
It fills our days and holds back our minds. It will slowly disintegrate strong willed personalities into shrieking babblemongs and make your hands the devils playthings.
And the worst contributor to this? Traffic lights.
Whether you are in a car or on foot you know that you will [...]

And remember you can go to fopp and buy [...]

Not only do we forgive you, [...]

Hello all the people that like to read about our goings on.
If we’ve been a bit quiet of late, we’re sorry. It has been sunny and we have been trying to remove our pasty flesh and turn ourselves into bronzed Adonises. It didn’t work. We all still look like cave dwellers blinking in the gloom. [...]
