Any ideas what this is? Have a look under the jump thingy…

Braaaaaaaaaaaainsssss

We went to Cabot Circus last weekend, and there were zombies about. At first, we assumed that it was just students larking about (oh those students and their japes!) but it turned out to be people protesting “against over-consumerisation and the homogenisation of city centres“. Make up your own minds on whether or not increasing [...]

We Went To The Zoo Zoo Zoo…

“…how about you you you, you could have come too too too, we went to the zoo zoo zoo”
We left the story of my birthday weekend of AWESOME at me finally falling into bed at 4am (which is not a time I am familiar with anymore, either waking up for work, or getting from a [...]

I just took this photo a moment ago, and its just [...]

Totterdown

Totterdown is an interesting little area that I recently moved into to.
