Yes, once again we reach that time of year when we all try to recover from too much eating, too much drinking and too little success in avoiding old Uncle “Groper” Jim at the family Christmas Party.

Which was a shame, because it looked like a damn good mosh pit, too.

I hate to admit it, but I kind of, uh, missed the spill this morning.
I know, I know, I utterly failed in my role of politics nerd and all round news junkie. It pains me, but what could I do? Some bugger at my place of principle employment insisted upon holding a meeting right when [...]
Writer, photographer, researcher.
kahmelb is the handle you'll most often find me using online, well, at least on those sites where I'm happy to be publicly identified and which wouldn't make my mother blush. Much.
