In my humble opinion, everybody should have a blog! I suppose you could consider this the contemporary equivalent that everybody should write a novel. While the barriers to getting a book written and published have reduced in recent times, it is still far easier to setup a free blog and be up and running within […]
Be Yourself No Matter What They Say
In 1995 I was intrigued by the launch advert for the new Rover 200. You may remember the advert as it transplanted this quintessential English British car (built just outside Birmingham) to New York. I love the idea of the advert but even more so the soundtrack. Sting’s – Englishman In New York. in reality, […]
Destination Unknown
Between having two beautiful children, a full time job and running a detailing business at the weekend – I am surprised that my friend Pav has been able to start his own international airline. A regular flight from Heathrow Terminal 1 to Jacksonville International Florida.
When The World Is Not Enough
We all the entitled to change our minds. I did not believe, that after a mere one hundred and thirteen days, when I posted a blog centred around new music I would be, so soon, revisiting the topic. The August Bank Holiday is the last hurrah of the British Summer, the final long weekend before […]
28 Weeks Later
This blog post is over five months in the making and follows in the illustrious history of my personal car ownership. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a companion post and recommended reading before proceeding any further. I am a car person. This is stating the obvious but to the uninitiated, the evidence is across my […]
The Road To Glory
It was just your average Thursday morning, as we drove out of our estate. We were listening to Radio 1, nothing out the ordinary and in the back of my mind I was thinking of what I had to achieve, once I was in the office. I noticed a number of cars parked up at […]
Read The Book First
Between 2005 to 2010 I was an avid reader. I would end most evenings by reading a chapter or two from one of the many books on my reading list. However in recent years, life has taken over. In fact Unread Books are a regular theme on the blog. The motivation has disappeared, as mentioned […]
Time Scales
Time as I am regularly reminded by others, is purely a human construct. A way for us all to contextualise change. Personally as long as I can remember I have been a ‘date’ guy. Linking events in my life, with music (every film needs a soundtrack) but also by global events, usually of the sporting […]
Going Postal
Generally I have kept my political views offline, but for the upcoming EU Referendum, we all have a choice. Perhaps the biggest opportunity to shape the future of our great nation for generations to come. Will we make use of the opportunity? However I am surprised by the lack of interest in not just my […]
Summer Anthems
Obviously I am far too old to be listening to BBC Radio 1, but my dearest wife insists on listening to the public service broadcaster in her car. Perhaps as the DJs are so many years younger than me, I have little in common with them and their discussions but on the drive home this […]
