Modern Life is Rubbish: October 2005
http://rocketleafsalad.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Modern Life is Rubbish. Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Check out the Guardian website blog - they have kindly published my post and linked it to my blog. Have a job interview next week at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Other than that, I still have an ear infection and no news. Posted by RLS at 1:27 pm. Monday, October 24, 2005. I am human and I need to be loved. The online game announces at me when I've finally finished "86% of people who completed this puzzle were faster than you! Which has three b...

Modern Life is Rubbish: February 2005

Modern Life is Rubbish. Wednesday, February 23, 2005. 10 things I hate about You (Thatcher, that's You). I'll admit it was quite hard to narrow it down to just ten, but in the interests of space and time here is an eclectic mix of things I have gleaned from my MA reading (and are entirely irrelevent to my essay, so I'm getting my rant over with so I can be "impartial" in my coursework.). 2 In 1980 the Miners' Union had around 180,000 members. Now it has less than 5,000. 8 She stopped our school milk (act...

Modern Life is Rubbish: June 2005
http://rocketleafsalad.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Modern Life is Rubbish. Tuesday, June 28, 2005. I remember now why I like Camden: as I was walking home today I saw two people walking down the street struggling with a huge inflatable dinosaur. I mean huge, it was about the size of four people. Now, you'd expect people carrying a huge inflatable dinosaur to either grin at you or give you a kind of sheepish, smiley "er, so, you noticed the inflatable dinosaur then? Posted by RLS at 7:55 pm. Thursday, June 23, 2005. The fixtures are out! It's not rubbish,...

Modern Life is Rubbish. Tuesday, March 29, 2005. One of my barmy friends has been referring to this link for ages http:/ www.catholic.org/frz/examen/examen venial.htm It is basically a list of sins, that is to say the Catholics (Catholic? Amongst you should be confessing to them. This would mean I would have to be in confession for a very long time since I am guilty of pretty much all of these. Some are quite interesting. Take for example:. What if I'm sinfully amused by bad company? What is bad company?

Modern Life is Rubbish: August 2005
http://rocketleafsalad.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Modern Life is Rubbish. Sunday, August 28, 2005. Pogue Mahone (The only bit of Gaelic I know.). My mother has this strange misconception that somehow getting up at the crack of dawn in order to set off on holiday makes the holiday all the more exciting. It doesn't. It just makes you tired. Added to this my mother has made it her aim in life to find something wrong with absolutely anything: the airport is ugly; you can't get coffee on Ryanair unless you pay extra; Dublin is ugly. I was amused, however, as...

Modern Life is Rubbish: September 2005
http://rocketleafsalad.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Modern Life is Rubbish. Wednesday, September 28, 2005. Wow, life sure is exciting when you're on the front line, welfare-advising, studying Christian Ethics and doing yoga in the evenings and getting thrown off buses. So you understand why I haven't posted for ages. Yep. I've had bugger all to post. I'm positive cheese is an energizer. Or maybe it's just psychosomatic. But I'm tired at the moment (obviously this has nothing to do with Rakia and spending my days explaining the British Immigration ...Well,...

Modern Life is Rubbish: November 2005

Modern Life is Rubbish. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. The headline Vatican Renews Ban On Gay Priests. Posted by RLS at 9:20 am. Thursday, November 17, 2005. A Riot Of My Own. A and E departments can be quite fun to the casual observer. It's a shame that if you're in one you're generally not in any mood to notice. You wouldn't think, for example, that UCH Casualty would be especially interesting, but look more closely and you will find the following:. Do you know what that is? I am not frequently awake at 3...

Modern Life is Rubbish: July 2005
http://rocketleafsalad.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Modern Life is Rubbish. Wednesday, July 20, 2005. It's a kind of magic. See what you're doing to our kids JK? And I now know who dies. I've not read it, but I had a flick through it in Borders. And no, it still isn't Hagrid. Apparently when she killed off Sirius in the last book she cried. Which seems a bit daft when she's the author. I presume there wasn't some bloke holding a knife to her throat saying "kill him off or else"? OK, OK, I am going to read it at some point. But really.18 hours? And sang "W...

Modern Life is Rubbish: April 2005

Modern Life is Rubbish. Saturday, April 30, 2005. The art of knowing little. A bit like Anusol. I apologise for stooping to such levels, I am in a bit of a stream-of-consciousness mood and it just crossed my mind: why do the makers of Anusol feel the need to state "NOT to be taken by mouth"? You'd think the title made it pretty self evident what one was supposed to do with it. Have a good one. Posted by RLS at 5:27 pm. Friday, April 29, 2005. And it's goodnight from him. The decision now has to be ratifi...
