		<title>Rule for happiness: Do not expect large wild animals not to kill you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, an experienced whale trainer at SeaWorld was killed when the orca she was working with dragged her into its tank. Wait no, it was a killer whale. Hang on, those are exactly the same thing, its just that when the media are reviewing Free Willy they use &#8220;orca&#8221; and when they are creating [...]]]></description>

		<title>Price tags are just another type of opinion.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Never buy anything because it is cheap, never buy anything because it is expensive. Obvious? In theory yes, in practice, we use these as subconscious metrics far too often.
Everyone has heard &#8220;A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs, a woman will pay $1 for a $2 item she doesn&#8217;t need&#8221; &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;You do not use science in order to prove yourself right, you use science in order to become right&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently given an excellent book by Ben Goldacre called &#8220;Bad Science&#8221; (by cheese, who is consistently awesome and sometimes gives me things just because I might like them). I am only about 100 pages through it so far, and I already wish to give the man some sort of award for universal competence. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules for Happiness: Never buy anything you cannot lift.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to have a rule about never owning anything I couldn&#8217;t carry. Ostensibly this was to do with my immense portability, love of freedom, ability to pick up and move on short notice as the whim takes me, etc. In reality it was a little more to do with the fact that not only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please enjoy my unique blend of cynicism and good-natured offensiveness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone described me like that today and I found it physically impossible to go a whole day without repeating it somehow, because its brilliant.
The theme of today&#8217;s post is essentially &#8220;bugger this for a game of soldiers&#8221;. Today I found out how long a green card takes to get. No wait, sorry, I should clarify [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy 19th January everyone. Yes, I know its not January 19th. But it was when I wrote this.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a few personal rules about New Years Eve. Some of them are obvious, and based on logistics, like “never go somewhere you can’t get back from on foot unless you are in a country with real public transport”, “never go to a niteclub”, “make sure you have bought enough to drink and give [...]]]></description>

		<title>You can never have too many vowels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or at least this seems to be the Polynesian view on language. My hotel was called the Waikiki Kaiulani (pronounced as spelled in case you wondered) for fuck sake.
I’m not really partial to sun holidays. I have only been on the classic package holiday once at the age of 16, and that was with my [...]]]></description>

		<title>My favourite sign in Tokyo: “Used Clothing Bingo”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   
As I type I am riding the bus to Narita airport, which our hotel diplomatically calls the “Friendly Limousine” I find it hard to begrudge them this exaggeration for two reasons, firstly that I am literally the only person on said bus, and secondly because the hotel itself is stunningly gorgeous and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rules for happiness: always hide the onset of raging leprosy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   
My flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo left at 10.30 in the morning and went via Tai Pei. Unfortunately, I just could. Not. Sleep. I lay awake trying to doze off pretty much all goddamn bloody night, turned the air-con on, turned the air-con off again, had this dull headache-y feeling that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hong Kong (cont)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[   
Day 2 (as mentioned in the previous post) began twice really. The first time at 6am when I awoke, reviewed my decision to fall asleep at 11 and found it slightly wanting in view of the fact that I was fucking awake at 6 in the morning, and decided that after FG2 [...]]]></description>
