The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: August 2010
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. Of course, you realise this means war? I've just had to go downstairs and change the battery in my elderly neighbours smoke alarm after she plaintively rang my doorbell asking for help. For most people, this wouldn't be a problem. A sweet little old lady asks for your help - how could you possibly refuse or, indeed, feel any animosity or anger towards her? Well, in this particular case, it's because she's an arsehole. Yes, it can be an i...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: November 2010

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. Toast, Ribena and Beer. Two and a half weeks ago, I padded into the kitchen in my pyjamas and proceeded to make tea and toast. Blinking myself awake like a sleepy bear, I spread butter on the first slice with my clumsy morning fingers and managed to rather expertly flip the piece of toast out of my grip. It cartwheeled through the air and came to rest on the floor.butter side up! This was not the sort of news I wanted to hear. Since then...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: My ongoing battle with Odeon Cinemas
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-ongoing-battle-with-odeon-cinemas.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. My ongoing battle with Odeon Cinemas. We've been here before, I'm afraid. Cinemas has let me down on numerous occasions with regard to the choice of films available and now, sadly, they've let me down again with their rather inconsistent approach to customer service. I decided, back in June, that I'd like to see a couple of films. Unfortunately, the Odeon. I went to the Odeon. I decided to use the feedback facility and ask them a question.

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. It's Halloween and already the doorbell has rung three times in the last half hour as avaricious, pig-eyed children demand I fill their bright orange buckets with sweets. They stand there clad in cheap polyester costumes and shiny plastic hats, hands outstretched in supplication, expecting me to scatter free confectionery. Upon their tiny pink palms like God distributing manna from Heaven. First, this is not America. Tuesday somehow meta...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: The Last Two Months
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2011/01/last-two-months.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. The Last Two Months. The last two months have been very strange. For most of the time, I've felt like I was somnabulating. One particular incident involved his Public Carriage Office licence that was up for renewal. Due to his inability to attend the optician's, a particular form couldn't be completed so, in an effort to buy some more time, I wrote an email to the PCO. After another week and a half on the sofa, I decided to go home for a...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: The Death of Cinema
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2010/08/death-of-cinema.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. The Death of Cinema. I have a lifelong love affair with the cinema. I remember vividly how, on my 10 th. Birthday, my brother took me to see Return of the Jedi at the cinema with tickets that I'd won by doing a 'Spot The Difference' competition in the local newspaper. We arrived a few minutes late and the first thing I saw on the screen was the gloriously grotesque face of Bib Fortuna. Do pig, that'll. Or at least it used to be. Yes, you...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: A Brief Return
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2010/07/brief-return.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. I've been on a lengthy sabbatical. Table cold to the touch. The reality, however, is somewhat different. I've actually spent the last few months sitting on my balcony reading, playing Red Dead Redemption on the xbox and whiling away the hours pointlessly clicking my mouse and arrow keys on a varied selection of free webgames in a tragic attempt to gain some sense of achievement or self-worth. Henry Rollins once described his depression t...

The Blog of Eternal Disappointment: Thank you, world
http://blogeternaldisappointment.blogspot.com/2009/12/thank-you-world.html
The Blog of Eternal Disappointment. Life is disappointing. Welcome. Thank you, world. For the last week, I've been suffering from headaches. Not constantly, just the occasional one that hits hard and sticks around for far too long. On Tuesday, headache still present, I crawled in to work and immediately booked the afternoon off before any other bastard could get in there. I viewed this, quite rightly, as a WIN. Several paracetamol and then back to bed until the following morning. Wednesday - no headache.
