30 Years of Film I’ve recently been trying to decide what my favourite film of 2012 is/was and in thinking about it (pretty sure it’s Argo by the way) I have also started thinking about what my favourite films of previous years are. Like a lot of people I have a list of my favourite … Continue reading 30 Years of Film
More A to Z
Because it's my favourite exercise at the moment.A bogus chance, dreams. Easy freedom grants hellish irresponsibility. James knows less; more now, objectively. Past queries remain staid, tomorrow urgency visits. Why? Xenophobia? You zealot!As bourgeois communities dance, even feathers glide hesitantly. It just kills little Miss Nevermind. Our people quit responding, so tortuously ugly. Victory was … Continue reading More A to Z
Little, Richard

Queer Rob sat talking ultra-violently while Xander yelled zealously, "All bits contain damaging evidence!" "Fuck,"Gus hollered intensely. Jack, knowing lies might not offer passage, quickly revealed some truths unbeknownst. "Victory! We X-rayed your zebra," all boys … Continue reading A to Z

Our PWE teacher set us a task for the holidays. The task was to attempt original poetry utilising a table of nouns and verbs he supplied us with. He also gave us the option of introducing new words but I kind of liked the idea of having restrictions. below are some of the verses I … Continue reading Some poetry
Writer’s Block
a.k.a. The unorthodox memoirs of James Farish-Carradice (abridged version) The last thing I finished. Took me about 3 hours the night before it was due although the alcohol section I started a week earlier, whilst I was in a pub of course. It helps that I was writing about me. I know a little … Continue reading Writer’s Block
