I returned to the office this morning after a few days off (two and a half days to be exact). With so much to catch up on, I thought little that my learned colleague would bother with a prank (although his previous track record would indicate the exact opposite) As I turned into my cubicle, […]
Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy
This is probably news to most readers of my blog, I had told a few close friends but not made any formal announcements via Facebook, Twitter or even my online diary. I have moved to Slough. While I wait for you recover from this breaking news, let me go through my thinking process. (Or rather […]
Much Ado About Nothing
I heard about the story just over a year ago, as it was debated on BBC Radio Five Live at length, one evening over a weekend. I am sure it would have featured in numerous phone in shows and television discussions (The Wright Stuff anyone?) which I did not catch. In February, Michelle sent me […]
Unread Books
Several years ago, I decided I needed to read more (actually more is the wrong word to use here, I actually needed to start reading full stop) and made a conscious decision to join the library and start borrowing (and reading!) books again. I even asked a cultured older friend to give me a list […]
Back in the Gym
I have a confession to make. A subject I have been avoiding for some time. The sharp tools in the toolkit out there nay have noted my lack of discussion on this topic , on Facebook but also predominately Twitter! My last session at the gym was way back in mid December. How do I […]
A Savage Cartoonist
I cannot remember exactly when I first started reading the Savage Chickens cartoon strip. Perhaps in the middle of 2005. I am quite sure it was recommended to me, either online or perhaps even in newsprint. You can view all my Savage Chicken themed posts by searching for the tag. There are three blogs I […]
Life Changing Apps
If there are “life changing” apps in the Android Marketplace, I have not found them yet! However the Google Mobile Operating System is going from strength to strength! There are some excellent apps out there and I get surprised by all the great little touches in the apps I have already downloaded. For example Google […]
Captured Sunrise
Sometimes it is nice to capture a beautiful moment, even if it goes almost unobserved every day. What makes this moment even sweeter is that fact it took place over the location of my first official employment. Yes, thirteen years ago, I was working at this petrol station around the corner from my house.
Forever Young
After almost four years, one of my favourite shows came to a end on Monday but of course, being in the UK, I had to wait until the following day to catch up on how life ends for a group of students at fictional Cyprus Rhodes University. However, before I go into the review of […]
Heading Off Plan
It had been over a month since I went to the cinema, eight weeks in fact. The last trip was to see The Kings Speech in the middle of January. There had been a few movies I wanted to see on the big screen but in most cases, the urge has never been quite strong […]
