I’m only posting today because, quite frankly, I am sick to the back 9 of that stupid bee on the post below. I really have nothing to say. Nada. Zip. Diddly squat. Absolutamentally sweet Fanny Adams. There is no thing that is more like nothing than the thing that is not a thing that is [...]
Every now and then I sift through my statcounter and see why or how people arrive at Papersurfer. One search that brings this blog to the very top of Google is the commonly used term ‘wooden breast’.
Having inadvertently tagged a post with this a while back I am now attracting many fans of the carbon [...]
If you ask a German any more than a few years younger than myself about world conflicts in the 20th century you’ll mostly be met with a blank face. If you ask them specifically about the year 1966 they might ask if Elvis was born around that time (for anybody non-English 1966 was the last [...]
I demand freedom. Society has smeared its smog covered and weighty hand across the canvas of surfing and created a brutal corporate image for us to adhere to. It was the last bastion of the open mind and the free will to express ourselves in a physical and raw moment of integration with the universe. [...]
Living in the foothills of the Serra de Estrella in central Portugal is supposed to be an idyllic existence – stunning picture postcard scenery, perfect weather all enhanced by friendly and convivial neighbours. Aging donkeys retiring peacefully by the river, toothless old crones carrying bags of washing on their heads. Just the sound of birds [...]
Having spent several years floating around in the blogiverse one thing I can say is that if you haven’t got anything interesting to say then don’t say anything.

In an attempt to distract my mind from my aching derrière I’ve found myself following numerous threads on surfing forums and surf [...]
How many dead blogs will it take to kill us all?
I watched a documentary the other night about the state of the blogiverse.
There are, apparently, 1.2 billion blogs out there of which 95% are ‘dead’ (ie no activity for 3 or more months). This doesn’t even take into account the non-English speaking blogs – there [...]
…this blog has been a little bit podcasty recently and not so much bloggy. Not that I mind – for me it’s a fine line (of code) betwixt the two. But for those that hate electronica and thumpy, dancey musicy stuff then a few moments of calm may be required.
Let us take a minute to [...]
…as Nina Simone once said “it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life and I’m feeling somewhat flaccid and a tad bilious.”
Ever since the sinus explosion incident of 2008, the prospect of getting a head cold has been slightly more daunting than for most people – the congestion tends to crawl [...]
