1) I’m Tim Chilestone, who the fuck are you?
My name is Marcus Alexander Chilestone, I’m 23 years old and when I grow up I want to be an ice cream man / on some kind of official register. I met Tim a little bit after I was born because he had mumps or syphilis or something rank that kids get. Oh also, I’m possibly the most shameless person ever. Look up poo floors, piss cupboards.
2) Tell us about where you live, why it’s great/shit etc.
I live in a village just outside Cambridge called Grantchester in a pub called The Green Man and it’s fucking wicked. Well, I don’t live IN the pub, I simply live in some accommodation out the back that compromises of bedroom and bathroom.
The main great things about it are the amazing people that work there who have taught me not only what village life is like, but also how to have a laugh in a kitchen without violence or sexual depravity. The bad things are my colleaques have to see me on days off etc when I’m a massive wank smear, and in general a stain on the face of the earth. Read the rest of this entry »

So, I haven’t really blogged much recently, as you can see. I kind of lost the impetus for the internet in general a couple of months ago, which happens every now and then, and it’s only just starting to re-assert itself.
This has also manifested itself in the second temporary demise of the St Neots Citizen. The reasons are many – well, a couple. There’s some general can’tbearsedness involved, nothing’s actually happened in St Neots worth taking off for months now, and I am very very busy. Read the rest of this entry »

So, having eaten a horrible paella sandwich, I felt it only fair that we give some thought to Tesco’s other biggest international sandwich, the lasagne sandwich. Or, as I like to call it, lasagnwich.
I bloody love a lasagne, and I love a sarnie, and I love the idea of putting a proper dinner in between two slices of bread. But surely the lasagnwich would be an absolute abomination?
Let’s find out. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning, Jaik texted me about Tesco’s latest awful creation, the Paella Sandwich. I enquired as to the presence of any classic paella ingredients such as shrimp, monkfish and mussels. “I did see a cheeky prawn poking out of the redness. If it didn’t have mussels and fish and that in it would be shit because it’s not paella; but if it does have mussels and fish and that in it will be shit because it tastes like shit. I should think that it will be the first and last time I see that sandwich.”
Well, I love to upset people, so…

Back in the early 00′s, there was an explosion in blogging. Back then I was part of a number of groups, such as London Bloggers and UKWeblogs. The membership of these groups was almost exclusively male.
Not so these days: female bloggers are probably more commonplace, I’d say, than male bloggers these days (at least, the ones that blog about nothing in particular). Uncommon, however, is Hayley of ceriselle.org, who asked me some questions a few weeks ago and gave me the idea to ask my own.
Here are her answers.
1) I’m Tim Chilestone, who the fuck are you?
I’m Hayley, I’m 26, and I’m great. I know Tim because I went to Uni with his sister and brother-in-law. Because Aber (our uni town) is an incestuous place, I knew them both separately, then one day Alec wrote in his LiveJournal (that’s what we had before things like Friendface and Chitter, kids) that he had Read the rest of this entry »

You can read Nick’s brand new blog, Out Of Eltisley, at http://klaus.foshiznik.com/. This is the same address where the Singapore blog would have been located, had he not returned from the Lion State in under a week (most of which he spent in Turkey).
Good stuff!

Very tired so just a few on this. I am sure you will have heard in the news today of the Government’s u-turn on a plan to grant all rape defedents anonymity until convicted. There’s been uproar from various campaigners, just as there was from “the other side” when the plans were announced last year.
Radio 1 news has been playing two clips all day. One is from a man who has to live underground after he got vicious death threats after a girl falsely accused him of rape. He was acquitted (and she went to prison, albeit not for long) but the old “no smoke without fire” stuck and the guy was hounded out of town.
The second is from a rape victim. She says that, if her assailant had been granted anonymity, she would have been less likely to go to police. She states that to know that such an evil man can carry on with his life while hers is in tatters is appalling. And she’s right… but she isn’t. What she seems to have missed is that, when the man was found guilty, his name would have been published.
I am not going to get into figures on the low, low number of rape allegations that result in successful conviction or the small percentage of victims – especially male – who report the crime in the first place. But false allegations do happen, and destroying a man’s life just because you regret banging him in a park toilet is just not on.
