A new start

So, another blog from me. Why? Well, because One Man & His Blog, which used to be a general interest blog, has evolved into a blog specifically about journalism and blogging. I have other interests, like photography, and architecture, and dance, and culture, and more. And I want to blog about them. But I don't want to dilute the focus of my main blog.

And so, I begin again, drinking coffee and exploring complexity. I hope you'll come along for the ride.

Man cuts off penis in restaurant
A man cut off his penis with a knife in a packed London restaurant.

Police were forced to use CS gas to restrain the man when they entered the Zizzi restaurant in The Strand on Sunday evening.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said the man was aged between 30 and 40 and that his injuries were self-inflicted.

The man was then taken to hospital in south London where his condition is stable. It is understood surgeons were unable to reattach his penis.

Of course, if I hadn't been commuting by train, I'd have missed this quality of light:

On the train today. It reminds me of how lucky I am to drive most days.


10 Ways to know a WoW Addict

I'm only guilty of a few of these...

Top 10 ways to know you play too much World of Warcraft:

  • 10. You try to book a vacation in Azeroth.
  • 9. You've ever planned to "raid" another department.
  • 8. You consider work assignments "quests" and expect items and XP for completing them.
  • 7. You have ever challenged a co-worker to a duel.
  • 6. You want your paycheck in gold, silver and copper.
  • 5. Your character is killed by a higher ranking enemy so you take a week off to "extract vengeance".
  • 4. You have ever called in sick because your character died and you are in "mourning".
  • 3. You have ever tried "hearthing" to escape work.
  • 2. You've ever mistaken your supervisor for a class trainer and demanded new skills.
  • 1. You refuse to answer to anything other than your WoW character's name.

My Brother Runs...

As some of you know, I lost my father to cancer five years ago, and now my mother is fighting against it.

Both of them have had huge support from the local community nursing fund, who exist to provide the terminally ill and the families with support and assistance in their own homes. It's funded from charitable donation, and my brother is abandoning his over-paid city boy ways to run the London Marathon partially in aid of this charity.

If any of you would like to support him, the money would be gratefully recieved.

Show us some birds.

Snapped this little fella grabbing a bite while I was in New York:

And spotted this chap a couple of years ago in the Everglades, while on holiday in Florida:



Rooftop car work

Just refilling the screen wash, but it looked impressive with the car all alone on the top floor of the carpark.
