Charlie Brooker I think you’re probably right, the opening of the Apple store in Norwich made me hate the Mac evangelists, especially the idiots on the door that cheered and looked suspiciously enthusiastic for each of the idiots that queued from seven in the morning for their free ‘Apple Chapelfield’ teeshirt. But I am trying to write in the new Microsoft Word thing and...

On this day in 1950:
My Mum was born.
She is an utterly wonderful woman and I look up to her so much. She still looks after me and has kept me going through many struggles despite not having such a good run herself. She’s the strongest woman I know and she always has the right answer and I can only hope to be half the woman as she is when I’m her age. She’s raised three strong minded girls all on...

Using Hall and Oates, now...

I think I just carry with me that level of loneliness that everyone carries with them throughout their life. That ultimately we’re all individuals, and although we may share intimacies...

I'm deadly serious.
In a combination of Dress Sexy At My Funeral by Smog playing whilst tidying my room I decided something very important. In the event of my death which is certain to happen at some point, every person that attends my funeral must wear a stripey top. It appears that’s all I’ve been wearing for the past ten years. Srsly.

On this day in 1967:
The Swedes went from driving on the left hand side of the road to the right. The process was called ‘Dagen H’, with the H standing for ‘Högertrafikomläggningen’, or ‘the right hand traffic diversion’.
