This month I have mainly been looking into some of the things that make us who we are.
I'm not talking about each of us as individuals; more about how we developed as a species, evolving from a charming Captain Caveman chap to the nasty, rapacious little chimps we are today. The more you look into this subject, the more surprising seem the origins of some of our physical and characteristic traits of today.

THE ANGST OF ANG – THE NORTHERN MONKEY SURVIVAL GUIDE TO LONDON
Before You Go...
First, you'll need to work out what to pack. Ask a Southern Jessie and they'll probably tell you to pack shorts, suntan lotion and a fan to help you cope with the sweltering climate down south. This is but a sad southern delusion. You'll actually find the weather isn't massively different from the north. At any rate, you shouldn't waste the valuable packing space. Instead, simply find every spare bag and case in your house and stuff them full of cash to prepare for the extortionate prices you’re about to find.

Edge in Cologne
Dear Edge,
There I was, stuck in my lonely, boring hotel room in Cologne, Germany, when I decided to log onto the proposterously expensive Wi-Fi to collect my emails, and there it was....THE EDGE!
What a relief!
Keep up the good work.
Gary Bainbridge
South Woodham Ferrers.

Conclusive Proof
Two Eskimos were sitting shivering in a kayak, so they lit a fire in the craft. Naturally it sank, proving irrefutably that ‘you cannot have your kayak and heat it’.

Hands up who knew that all the bees are disappearing, asks Kingpin?
Those of you who did can sit in the ‘nerd corner’, with me. The rest of you can keep on reading. It might sound a bit daft, but it's true and actually rather serious.
All over the planet, bees are disappearing, and have been for several years, which is causing much consternation in the world of men who wear those odd looking hats with the veils, not to mention people that want to break the biggest beard of bees record. It's actually something that we should all be concerned about.

Text Speak. I bloody hate it, reports The Kingmeister. I understand that we're all very busy people these days (and still with an extremely large percentage of people who’re busy doing fuck all), and all those extra seconds it would have taken to type a complete, coherent sentence are absolutely vital to you. But please, for the love of Mike, at least try and talk bloody sense.

What's the most soul destroying phrase you can think of? You know, a few words that make your heart feel like it weighs a ton and will drop your mood to something approaching suicidal. The words that will force your shoulders into a hunch and your back into a stoop. There are oh so many that spring to mind. How about, "There now follows a party political broadcast"? Or maybe, "And now, dressage"?

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM (Warsaw)
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.” There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6, King James Bible

Trust your Uncle Edge, kids, your Mums (mostprobably) will remember this (guy’s) song.
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair,
yes there are...

This month I have mainly been thinking about getting older. A lot of people I know have a big problem with getting older, obsessing about wrinkles and grey hairs and the like, and many people seem to do everything in their power to stave off the inevitable, much to the delight of the snake oil salesmen in the beauty clinics. Whereas I'm the complete opposite. The older I get, the more I like it, possibly due to being cursed with a chubby little baby-face.
