On Getting None By Willie Smith

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

I wanna fuck a none,
wanna fuck a zero,
wanna eat summa that cipher pie.
I wanna get into the habit of nothing at all,
crawl down the neck of an empty,

and take a vacuum up the ass.
I wanna fuck a none,
wanna fuck a zero,
wanna eat summa that cipher pie. (more…)

Cock and bull

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

No more do we believe in phrenology, it has been deconstructed, constructed, reconstructed, redeconstructed, deredeconstructed to be scientifically unsound. It is a physiognomic fallacy. No longer do we look upon the prognathous chin and speculate about the mettle, the bravery; the same with a long nose, no longer are we caught in jealous conjecture about the size of the pudenda membra under the long nose.

Monday 8th August 2011 – London Still Burns

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

Saturday 6th saw the first night of unrest. Tottenham burned throughout the night. Participants said it was a protest, residents said it was a free-for-all, both politically and judicially. Sunday 7th it spread to Brixton, Enfield, and somewhere else…

Monday was the most interesting night, for want of a better word. It was going to keep spreading, and the coppers – there to keep law, order and protect all us ‘good, decent’ citizens – didn’t appear to be able to help ‘us’, from that (those) that we fear most. (more…)

With the London 2012 Olympic Games starting this weekend, we thought now would be as good a time as any to announce that Honest Publishing is the official publisher of this year’s Olympic ceremonies.

We’re very proud that we’ve been officially chosen by the official London 2012 Olympic official games committee for this honour. We only hope that we can live up to their expectations when taking our place next to other sponsors and celebrated producers of fizzy drinks and processed fatty foods. (more…)

Kant Out Walking

Wednesday, July 18th, 2012

I can understand boredom being an ephemeral impression, a feeling that scratches the membrane that chafes the surface that flickers and distorts. I can understand Arthur Schopenhauer being bored when he has to blow out his candle at nine o’clock at night. I can understand the thinker finding boredom in the everyday world, in the big things as well as the small things. It can be very boring sat down at a desk staring at a computer screen. (more…)
