I came across this ad on Copyrant and was totally blown away by it. It’s powerful and disturbing and I challenge you not to be moved by it. MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING!

After three years in Hamburg, I’m going to be heading to the other end of Germany, to the heart of Swabia to start a new job and to explore another part of the country. It’s going to be quite a change from Hamburg, trading water and Plattdeutsch for mountains and Schwäbisch, but it will be [...]

That was the best ever series of Dr. Who! I never thought they’d beat Tom Baker’s Dr. Who, but this series was great. Suspenseful, atmospheric and deep. Well done, BBC!!!!

Well, that was quite a week! A drive from Hamburg to the Netherlands to drop my cat off with my ex-wife and to visit my parents, followed by a crazy week in Atlanta in the US. The week-end in the Netherlands was just lovely… I don’t see my ex-wife nor my parents often enough and [...]
A small article in the Observer on 22 November caught my eye, and caused me a huge amount of merriment. Apparently, Mitsuibishi UFJ banking group, concerned at the declining national birth-rate in Japan, have bizarrely elected to encourage staff to leave work early to enjoy ‘family time’. So why is this bizarre, you may ask? [...]
I’ve followed suit, I’m afraid, and posted a comments policy. After a battle with a raging transphobe over the past couple of days, I think it’s easier if I just tell people that I won’t let all comments through. This is a space of mine which I am sharing but if they want to post [...]
