Diary of a Bacon Smuggler – Part 2

little, but it’s never coming back; we feel it at the same time, turning to look at each other swallow our own little co-op of sick – the collective noun for sick is in fact a co-op – these are the things that drive us; if you feel something so viscerally that your body expels…

Diary of a Bacon Smuggler – Introduction, and then Part 1

Introduction: This diary was inspired by a comment conversation with one Lucy Brazier (hi Lucy! (these first few inceptive ramblings were kindly posted by Lucy on her blog back in the 20teens, but then they abruptly dried up…because I started learning the guitar? yeah that’ll do; I play the guitar you know! I still learn…

On the seventh day

Here’s another old post all about Arthur; it’s his old About page, which I notice has been changed…I trust not because of Hatchet Carmichael’s disdain. Hatchet is a Tom Cruise lookalike (or at least thinks he is) who kindly agreed to read out some of Arthur’s posts…five points for whoever makes it to the end…and…

Coz Arthur said to…

…he said we should all do little gifs using lunapics; I don’t have the time so am putting an old one I did up instead. And as you all know, this blog was set up to honour the great man by having Tom Cruise lookalikes read a number of his posts, but did begin to…
