		<title>The first one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I admire Lolita, I don&#8217;t think it really gets across the strange effect that the &#8220;first one&#8221; has on you. It seems to be the gist of the book, but for me at least it digresses into a ton more ideas. I wish it somehow kept on going and explained the phenomenon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holidays and the power of travel supplements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much has been made this year of the impact of the recession on our holiday-making habits. Through the medium of those shit holiday sections in newspapers written by weary journalists wondering how their career ended up on the supplements desk, we&#8217;re informed that because a Ryanair flight to Italy now costs £20 rather than £10, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Sam&#8217;s tactics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just watch the second goal. And then watch it again. And then wonder why nobody at all seems to care about 6&#8242;5&#8243; Chris Samba hurling himself straight into the keeper.

		<title>The fear of emptiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been quite some time, eh? I&#8217;ve been trying in this time to piece together the trailing ends of occasional thoughts, but being the busy boy I am, very often they&#8217;re just lost to time.
I wonder about the motive for everything &#8211; for the way people behave, for what goes on in the world, [...]]]></description>

		<title>One for the hippies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is no better way to prove you are the best and most winningest person in an argument than by dispensing a few facts.

In 2007, 45% of Christmas gifts would have been more appreciated by the person they were least intended for.
Between the fall of 1992 and spring 1998, four supertankers carrying Chinese toys to [...]]]></description>

		<title>At times of illness, I am not myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What follows are thoughts on the effects of the physical upon the mental self
On trivial, irritating The One Show-like illnesses
Somewhat genetically predisposed towards the mental over the physical, in a different time and place I would have only a few small saving graces to thank for not becoming a hunchbacked, corrupted cynic in a Dickens [...]]]></description>

		<title>Axis of not-very-evil #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a funny old world. When I say funny, I mean egotistical and power-mad, but I guess that can be funny. Apparently we need ID cards to keep us safe and soldiers in our own country in case something nasty happens, and who can forget the *drum roll* axis of evil! Hmmm, that doesn&#8217;t sound [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve suffered what some might call writer&#8217;s block and others may call a retard finally shutting the hell up. Either way, I&#8217;ve recently found it very difficult to add anything of substance on here. It&#8217;s always been mostly just cathartic with the bonus now and then of letting new people get to know me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories of parents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, my parents went out a lot. My dad used to be out from Wednesday &#8217;til Sunday, and until my first sister came along my mum was out a lot too. It doesn&#8217;t take much to remind me of the times they spent getting ready to go out, because those times were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death Magnetic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The opening of this album is a lot like being dragged along to a family party which you thought&#8217;d consist of pungent buffet and men in slacks talking about horsepower, but which turns out to be an all-night rave with free gin decanted from Gabby Logan&#8217;s perfectly formed thighs. After the badness of Metallica recently, [...]]]></description>
