It’s 1:00am and I’m writing this in bed on my phone. It’s a struggle to write because I’m moving so much. I’m exhausted, can’t sleep because I keep making a loud howling noise, and my body’s contorting all over the place.…

One side effect of drinking last night is that I lost one of my padded gloves. Fortunately it wasn’t one of the nice ones donated by the boxing community but one I wear every day. It was falling apart anyway and starting to smell unpleasant, but it protected all the crucial bits of my hand while still being fairly discreet.…

I met up with Fertile Man (the designer responsible for the Touretteshero logo) this evening, as he was in town for work. We talked about the logo for a while and then spent considerably longer getting drunk in a park. Tonight’s tic contribution is:

You might well be thinking that as tics go this isn’t too bad. Sure, it’s pretty inoffensive and a bit dull, but no big challenge.

Although that’s essentially true, it’s causing some confusion.…

“I broke-danced my life away.”

“I lied about my age once, to a donkey.”

This evening I travelled over the river to my friend Jamie’s studio to record some tics for Cassetteboy’s Touretteshero theme.

We recorded in four different ways. First I listened to the Touretteshero track through headphones and Jamie recorded the tics that came out in response.…

I had dinner with Leftwing Idiot and his friends Giedre and Atif last night. They told me about Access to Work which helps disabled people in employment by funding the specialised support or equipment they might need to do their jobs better.…
