The Roquefort Files

I’ve just had a pretty damn-near perfect couple of evenings of gentle summer boozing. On Friday, after work, I wandered down to the shore with some work chaps. Having forgotten to bring money with me, I cadged a couple of beers from Jason and DaveM and we shot the shit for an hour or two [...]

and while that may sound like a happily done and dusted, self-contained utterance, it required tediously large amounts of effort. In fact, I say ‘done and dusted’, but the new flat was, if possible, more dusty than the last one. (Ho! There’s nothing like a smooth link, and that was nothing like a smooth link.) [...]

Katie (or Cate as she’s known in the biz) is the Diageo Young Photgrapher of the Year! Here’s an example of her portfolio: it’s Tommy Sheridan speaking at an anti-war rally last year, if memory serves. Note the juxtaposition of flag, cloudy sky and banner to create a pre-war Iraqi flag: extremely cunning, n’est-ce pas? [...]

and the decent weather (neither raining nor windy) meant we could sit outside for a few beers after work on Friday and soak up the cloud. Three pints and no food later, I weaved home, had some pasta and sat stupefied in front of the box until I sobered up a little, then went to [...]

Josh has posted some pictures of the last party. Car off to the big garage in the sky1; the flat sees its last party2. It’s all getting a bit morbid, isn’t it? For ‘sky’, read ‘Fife’. Until after we move out, at least. So I suppose it’s not really all that morbid. Can’t resist a [...]

Looks like http://roquefort.blogspot.com is more reliable than http://www.roquefort.blogspot.com. If you’re mad enough to have a bookmark to the RF, I’d update it.

INT. CORE STUDIOS, GLASGOW – NIGHT DAVIS stands by a microphone stand with a red guitar. It has green knobs and trim. NEIL is hovering by a guitar amp with a more conventionally coloured guitar. KEITH is holding a bass in such a way that clearly indicates he’d like to be considered to be ‘wielding’ [...]
