Okay sorry about the long hiatus. Let me explain.
After being shipped around from pillar to post by the powers that be I was finally granted a new home.
The Sekrit Lab, as my son calls it, is handily located only meters above Union Street. It has a concealed entrance, rooftop escape route and space for a helicopter to [...]
My wife is not well.
This is mostly addressed to her.
I know where you are. I’ve stood in the same place myself twice before, the last time barely five months ago. Hell I’m still there now, caught in a Sisyphean trap by an illness that wipes weeks of improvement away in a single moment of dis-cognizance. So when [...]

As it turns out I have NEADs.
That’s Non Epileptic Attack Disorder.
I spent much of Monday and most of Tuesday in hospital, wired up to a box and on camera 24/7. The box was some sort of mobile EEG meter and the camera was to catch me having a seizure. I wasn’t allowed to leave the ward, or [...]

So I had an MRI scan on Friday. Well I say ‘had’, they don’t make MRI scanners big enough for my ego, shoulders, arms, belly…
Basically they had to wedge me in tightly, to the point I lost all feeling in my extremities. After more than 8 minutes of this and facing another 8 I started [...]

Since every other person in the blogosphere is doing it I thought I should join in too. My resolutions for 2010 are:
Chill the fuck out. Seriously I need to de-stress big time. I don’t know how I’m going to do it so it’s the resolution I’m less likely to succeed at. Currently I’m thinking of [...]

I’m going to put this out in the open: I’m somewhat sceptical regarding man-made climate change. I’ve read both sides of the argument, looked at the alleged evidence and found everything very much wanting. Really, despite my uncle being a supposed ringleader of the alleged ‘Deniers’ camp, I might of well flip a coin to [...]
I’m heading off to London on Tuesday morning. I’ll be down south until some time after Christmas but back in Aberdeen within the month.
I don’t know how long I’ll be in London, visiting with one half of my family, before heading up to Oxford to stay with the other half. My wife and kids will [...]

So I spoke to the neurologist yesterday; the CT scan and the EEG apparently showed nothing. NOTHING.
So either I’m having “non-epileptic seizures” (read as “you’re crazy”) or their tests didn’t show anything because, as a cousin has pointed out, they only really work if you have a seizure during them.
So much for that then…
I’ve asked [...]

Here is the emotional scene I wrote earlier today that made me cry. More excerpts if you hold me down and do wicked wicked things to me:
Tara – Still Dressed to Kill
Kadia had given Tara the address of a bar that was frequented by some of Budapest’s criminal classes. It was conveniently close to [...]
