It’s been nearly a year since I accidentally deleted my blog and had to start all over again.
Here’s everything that’s happened at Fevered Mutterings (v4.0) since that glorious day of rampant stupidity for which I am rightly proud. A year’s worth: most of it original, some stolen from my archives; some of it carefully considered, [...]

The Big List Of Fevered Mutterings (2009-2010)
Cities: Exciting But Guilty
I’m over here this evening, flying the flag for cities and wondering where they’ll take us.
I’ve have only one major issue with cities: they inspired these excruciatingly awful lyrics. Guilty as hell. “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of?” Say again?
(No, actually don’t say again. Thanks).
Dear PETA, Yours Despairingly (Once Again)
In what is turning to be a yearly series, I’m over at EcoSalon raising a weary eyebrow at the latest antics by the People For The Protection Of Animals.
The usual arguments apply: “Any publicity is good publicity” vs. “Hey, people are animals too” (because PETA’s human rights record is a little patchy).
So it feels good [...]
383 Reasons I Haven’t Been Around
In my line of work I get asked a lot of questions, such as “Why are you never around on your personal blog?”, “Did you actually read back what you’ve just written?”, “Where’s the money you owe me?” and “Why can’t you be funnier?”.
I can answer the first question fairly easily. (The other three are [...]
There’s That Voice Again
Stories, I said.
Here’s mine.
Since returning from Orkney I’ve been freelancing over at WebUrbanist and its sister-site WebEcoist, and my final post for them will be going up on November 24th.
And after that?
In the immediate short-term, I’ll be looking after my mum when she comes out of hospital after some surgery (all’s gone well, but I’ll [...]
Them Be The Days, Me Hearties
Writing is a serious business. We writers have a moral and spiritual obligation to our peers and our readers to strive for the utmost sobriety of tone and to stick to the facts clinically and empirically without unnecessary rhetoric digression or lack of intellectual focus and rigour.
So I’m told.
Anyway, if you’re a student and you’ve [...]
I Have Blogger’s Passive Vertigo
Obviously this image is someone messing around. It couldn’t actually happen.
Then again…
Green Is Weird
Well, some of it.
Edit: it hit the Huffington Post!
(No, I’m not back at EcoSalon, if you’re wondering. It’s one I wrote a while back, and it’s just bust out of their archives and is making a run for it. If you fancy cheering it on with your favourite social media tool, I’d remember you warmly [...]
Since the ‘Intense Debate’ comment plugin was being stroppy…
…I’ve disabled it.
Apparently it’s been preventing the comment box from popping up, amongst other glitches.
Everyone should be able to comment. Vlad in Kiev who has been trying to sell me eleven tons of recreational fertility chemicals, you are not welcome (вы не радушны). Spammers will be shot and their heads will be boiled and then [...]
What Are Blog Comments For?
It’s all in the comments, folks.
