The BBC News website have picked me out as their favourite antipsychotic user. It is not a very happy story, alas, but sadly it is all true. After waking up with bad dreams, which just happened to be about the first time I was sectioned when I lost my marbles, I dropped by the BBC [...]
Right, let me make it abundantly clear that this cracking idea for a dessert is universal copyright David Strange ad infinitum. If I find any restaurant is using this without paying me stacks of cash I shall come and wee in your fridges, write slanderously bad reviews of you and sue your arses off. When [...]
When more morally flexible people learn I have paranoid schizophrenia they get a cheap thrill. They think they’ve found a great bit of ammunition they can use to shame, inconvenience or discredit me. Any reader of this site will know such things just won’t work. Not only am I charming and well-liked as well as [...]
I’ve been sent a little gift, hooray! It is a little vase from the Indus valley – Harappan, I’m told, dating from between 1800BCE and 2800BCE. It is only about 5cm tall but I am rather taken with it. Quite a looker, eh? I am terribly grateful to those few people who have sent me [...]
I’m pleased as chips today. Firstly, that august organ The Times published a big picture of me looking terribly cold in the only vaguely photogenic location in horrible, horrible Woolwich. I am more than happy to be the new face of paranoid schizophrenia. I’ll come clean and admit that I am on page 69, so [...]
OK, this is not made of ceramic but it tweaks my aesthetic sensibilities in a similar manner. For a long time I have lusted after owning a little piece of well-preserved Roman glass; a follower of Elitistreview (who wishes to remain anonymous) gave me this marvellous example as a token of appreciation for all the [...]
No ceramics posts here for a while, due to my parlous financial state, but this acquisition is worth a brief comment. It is undoubtedly the oldest thing I own but still manages that desired quality ‘beauty’. Most of the ceramics that grace Elitistreview Towers are from contemporary studio ceramicists, but this year we’ve looked a [...]
When browsing t’interwebs the other day we happened upon this rather spiffy dish – it looked good and was on sale at half the normal price so we purchased one. The company responsible for it is Jars, and the range of serveware it belongs to is Tourron Poeme Poupre. I do like the combination of [...]
Last week I gave a talk in the House of Commons to a bunch of Members of Parliament. It was only a four minute talk with the aim of convincing them to increase access to psychological (‘talking’) therapies for people with similar mental health problems to me, yet I managed to fit in references to [...]
I’m a sex god in my pink jacket and flowery shirt. And I’m drinking Savennieres, yeah!
