S'funny what you find when you check an old, forgotten email account.
Lots of junk, the message that you logged in to retrieve from a good pal and an invite back here.

I was worried about coming back, worried about changes I might find and not like.
Anyways, I'm back for a while at least.

The main thing stopping me from leaving is that so many people cooler than me have so recently done it that I fear being accused of bandwagon jumping.

I've been a non-entity on the site for ages except for arranging to meet people in real life so who'd notice?

It's softer than the last one, which...

Brain Beats Brawn
I clocked this taxi driver giving mega-verbals to some girls in a very girly VW while I was cycling home tonight.
This didn't, sadly, inspire me to race to their aid. In fact, I barely registered it until the taxi nearly took me out of the game as it raced away up the wrong side of the road (ie mine) while the...
