January is the month to go and see critically acclaimed movies. Two years ago I went to see Slimdog Millionaire, tonight, I went to see The King’s Speech. If I am honest, this movie may have passed me by, if it was not for Michelle insisting I book tickets for us to catch a screening. […]
Reality Bites
One of my favourite colleagues from the last job and one, told me that I should always be grateful. Grateful that is, for those few days off in the period I call Twixmas. (The period we found ourselves in at the moment, the time after Christmas and before the New Year when you lose track […]
That Very Familiar Feeling
When do you know Christmas has finally arrived? For many years, it would be the Coca-Cola television spot, with the big US trucks (Holidays Are Coming). This year, it was as I drove home on Monday evening. I was joining the A419 southbound to join the M4 at Junction 15. I was listening to BBC […]
Where did 2010 go?
Take On Me?
Went to Wembley Arena tonight to see a-ha perform the last UK leg of their world tour. More than this, it was also their last performance as a group on these shores. A few more dates remain in Norway next month and then a-ha will be no more. I last saw them perform, almost exactly […]
Only 8,760 Hours
Stop the clock, there are now just a mere 31, 536, 000 seconds left of my twenties. The big 30 is fast approaching and there is very little I can do stop this collision course. I just guess I have to hang on and enjoy the ride!
Coming Out As A Gleek?
I have been watching Glee since it was recommended to me by my girlfriend’s friend Shabana (who over the past year and a bit has actually become my BBF, even if she is not great at answering her phone!) back in late October last year. I watched the first series religiously but was rather disappointed […]
Back In The Saddle
Back in the gym this evening after a ten day break. The reason for this long absence, is two fold. Firstly I was quite ill last week Monday to Wednesday and then by the time I had recovered, I was off for my weekend away in North Wales. There was little chance of me going […]
Duty Calls (Once Again)
For various reasons, I left for Wrexham as the clocked ticked rapidly towards 7pm. I should have been in the Welsh town already, if I had left work at 4pm, as I had originally planned, when I booked Guy Fawkes Night as holiday. Instead, I had just joined the A40, leaving Uxbridge and had an […]
