Who Is The Black Chinaman?

Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc

WTF Is That Clicking Sound?

Have a watch of that...around 0.30 and 2.12...or when ever Steve looks at a control panel or stands above the pressure vessels...

Had my baked fish tonight, that went alright...and made some homemade chippys...though I did burn it slightly...oh well, not really used to deep frying stuff truthfully...but it was an experience all the same...

Today's been really slow and quiet...didn't really break the fast until 1900, even though I did have some Hot Cross Buns...and reading up on it too, I did eat it at the right time...

I've finished Bill's book too, and if anyone can get their hands on a copy of "The Sharp End", have a read...William Dodson, published by Pan McMillan...
