Thatcher’s Here, My Lord

I’ve written before about my tics’ strange ability to see into the future. They were able to predict the Jimmy Savile scandal long before the story broke, and they’ve become so finely tuned that I’ve decided to share their clairvoyance in my World of the Zodiac video horoscope.…

Socks to the Rescue … Again!

A few days ago I wrote about collecting two different head injuries in one night – a carpet burn and a black eye. Both are healing well and yesterday as the pain and bruises began to fade, I resolved to take some action to prevent at least one of them happening again.…

Broken Doors

Yesterday morning I was determined to get the post up about George Osborne parking his Chelsea tractor in a disabled parking bay before I went to work. My morning routine’s already pretty rushed so this meant even more pressure than usual.…

Parking Mad

This morning I woke to the news that our beloved Chancellor George Osborne has been caught parking in a bay reserved for disabled people – my heart sank.

“What’s the harm in that?” you might ask, “we all do it from time to time.”…

To Zip Or Not to Zip

This week is the first of a two-week Easter playscheme where I work. During previous Easter holidays we’ve had water-fights, needed only t-shirts, and everyone’s needed to constantly re-apply sun cream. But not this year. This year it’s been snow instead of sun!…

Dr Tara Murphy: In Her Own Words

Last week I wrote briefly about watching Kids With Tourettes: In Their Own Words on ITV. The programme was thought-provoking and created a great deal of discussion on social media. Earlier this week I spoke to Dr Tara Murphy who featured in the programme.…

In Loving Memory

It’s April Fools’ Day, a day recognised all over the world as the time for jolly pranks and elaborate hoaxes. Today we’ll read absurd stories about spaghetti growing on trees, interruptions to gravity or Viagra for hamsters, and people will play tricks on each other.…

Saved By The Bowl

Happy Easter!

Because of the long weekend, lots of my regular support workers are away or had other plans. Leftwing Idiot’s stood in and is providing me with even more support than usual. We’ve had a nice weekend so far, hanging out either at the castle or at his flat.…

What Else, Alan?

Well, it’s been over a week and my potentially problematic ‘Alan fucks buses’ tic is showing no sign of letting up. In fact, it’s expanding. I now have a long list of other accusations of what else Alan’s slept with that would almost certainly result in a long prison sentence (and or a trip to hospital) if any of them turned out to be true.…
