On the way back to Dr Bitful's flat after Nag Nag Nag (or possibly after the Shadow Lounge, I can't remember), we saw a purple triple decker bus. And then another one not far away, surrounded by cameras and a film crew. We did not think much of them, considering the state we were in.

I [...]

Another landmark.

One thousand fags (not smoked, in my case) in under five weeks?

Scary.

Saturday night: joined a birthday party at the Friendly Society, then all moved to the Shadow Lounge - guestlisted if you please, stormed in with Yvette (soon to join the unemployed, after the "last ever" Love Muscle at the Fridge on April 5th?) and were escorted to the VIP area.

Sunday night: spent a few hours [...]

There was this documentary the other night called Fat Girls and Feeders. I missed most of it until I got a text from Dr Bitful telling me to switch it on. To put it briefly, it was about a man who enjoyed his wife being big. I mean huge. I'm talking 60 stone (or 840 [...]

I was not surprised to hear that 65-year old Manfred Lubitz electrocuted himself with electrodes attached to his genitals, or that he'd called his home-made sex toy Orgasmatron. But watching a film called Hot Vixen Nuns? It sounds like one of those absurd search requests.

The English football team are playing against Liechtenstein later today. I am normally not into footbal (unless it rains and the players' kit is white), but I'm curious to see what happens when the same national anthem is played twice (the UK and the Liechtenstein anthems share the very same tune - click on thumbnail [...]

I've said it before, and now I am absolutely convinced that Madonna's records contain a subliminal message that, if played backwards, hypnotizes you into believing that what you are listening to is rather good and not the crap you thought it was at first.

Only this can explain why I've downloaded American Life (the single) on [...]

Maths fail me. Last night I thought I was being very considerate with money and did very well. I went to Nag Nag Nag with Dr Bitful and David, we skipped the queue thanks to David's knowing the security person at the door, then we only paid one pound each because I'd kept some six-month-old [...]

Yay me!

Elated.

Always alert.

Never complacent.

Dear Anne and Anthony,

Just a quick note to say thanks for the recipe.

I cooked it for my (Italian) partner who, despite an almost addictive obsession with bread, hasnever tried bread and butter pudding. This is the
first [...]

I'm jet-lagged - and I haven't even left the country. It's just that after a drunken mini-nap after the RVT (taking Steve by the hand and dragging him to the dance floor as soon as MiniMinogue started playing can be so tiring) I woke up to the beginning of the Academy Awards ceremony, and I [...]

More on halitosis: National Fresh Breath Week starts tomorrow.

Things I learnt or discovered during the weekend:

how to spell my name in British Sign Language

the reason why last Christmas Eve at ten to six pm there was not a pint of milk, a single egg or a pack of bread at my local supermarket is because in the past they used to close until [...]

The other night I had homemade bread and butter pudding for the very first time. And then I had some more for breakfast yesterday. Life finally makes sense. It was worth waiting all these years.

As with my tiramisù recipe, Dr Bitful's bread and butter pudding recipe serves 12 (or 2). I have a feeling that [...]

Me: Have you heard about Osama Bin Laden's niece who is currently in London trying to launch her pop career?

Dr Bitful: I'll hit you if this is bad.

I am pretty intrigued by What Happened Last Night, a play that opens today (and runs until April 19) at the Pleasance Theatre in London after a run at The Courtyard last year.

Found it at last! It's Dannii vs Dead Or Alive (via Popjustice: search 'Begin To Spin Me Round' on Kazaa).

Oops.

This should be forbidden. Very sad to watch has-beens tear their hair out for a glimpse of their vanished fame. I normally do not cringe before crap TV, but last night I just had to switch Reborn in the USA off.

I was having a stroll with Anne (my friend visiting from Paris) after seeing Chicago (the movie) with her and Guy (well worth it), when I got a naughty text message from Dr Bitful, asking me to meet him at Expectations for a spot of "adult shopping", and then back to his to try out [...]

Geri Halliwell. Mental agility. That's a foxymoron.

GayDatingBlog has been taken offline. All I hope is that the guy behind it (Tom?) found happiness and love with his recent date, and therefore decided to stop making his sex life public.

I'll miss that.

It is now exactly two weeks since I smoked my last cigarette, and I've decided to allow myself to post something about it.

It has not been easy, nor was it the most bitful task to go through, but it seems to be working so far. The strong feeling of pride balances out the panic of [...]

That's it. After much complaining from Dr Bitful, I've finally chucked my smelly clubbing trainers. Well, my feet do not (normally) smell, as I'm terrified by BO and I spray them with deodorant and then always fill my shoes with deo powder. These trainers though (or, to be precise, the right one only) had [...]

Ooh I'm bad.

I'm having a friend from Paris visiting me for a week, and I can't skip going to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern even once. I must be addicted to testosteron. Or something.

I'd told everyone I was not going because I could not really see this friend of mine in that place (female, straight and [...]
