Does anyone know what fireworks show of a few minutes ago was all about? It was quite nice.


Dunhill competition related, methinks. I was at 1 Golf Place and got to watch it from the balcony.

Quite nice, indeed.

Anyone remember the internet celebrity Mahir, who inspired Ali G's Borat -character and raving lunatics worldwide?

There's been a l...

Agreed, 'game' is not a good enough word to describe what I'm talking about either. I was really using it to apply to a long-term situation, to the constant interplay and reciprocality involved in conversation when properly getting to know someone. It involves what Cain mentioned about gestures and ...

Agreed. But that's just it! It's sort o...

People can be cruel at times, but this cruelty is often not deliberate. It's more a case of ignorance, awkwardness and not knowing better. Social interaction generally tends to feel like a sort of gravitation, fruitless choking and throttling before certain doors are opened. We advance, retreat, shy...

"Not in here, mister. This is a Mercedes!"

He can't be a wombat - he wears a hat and drives a car.

Love that film.

Interesting. While I'm sure this stereotype holds true to some extent, I have recently in my life befriended ma...

Everybody seems to have something against the second semester of Social Anthropology. The general trend is to choose Soc Anth in first semester because its a breeze, to listen and chuckle at peculiar and often sexually explicit traditions of non-industrial non-Western societies. And although you sho...

I just thought of some extra clumsy, oversized luggage to take back with me in September. And if I do lug it over, I probably can't be arsed to move it on and off trains and buses.
