I find it very interesting how this country deals with snow. The climate changes to this extreme, once in a decade, but even so, it is known to happen so you would think Local Authorities would be a little better prepared. The weather took a turn for the worst, as I left work around 6pm […]
You’re Not In Kansas Anymore
Snow is a very interesting weather condition and it is funny watching the human response to the white stuff. A few years ago, we would have just soldiered on with our lives but this time around, many decided to not bother and just stay in. I did not have such a novelty to fall back […]
Back to Work
It was back to work on Monday morning, but I had Tuesday off (for Christmas shopping) and then shifts every day of varying length up to and including Christmas Eve. What made my day was a little boy, perhaps aged eight. He was in a private school uniform, but I could not recognise the badge, […]

I have only been to a few stand up comedy nights. Correction, actually I think it was only one. My friend Crennell and I tried to get out of the Saturday night date in the Town Hall, Wycombe with our friend Ryan (who had booked the tickets) but afterwards were glad we went as it […]
Supermarket Sweep
It took nine weeks, but I was officially back in employment this morning at 9am. (Full stats over on Twitter) No the ideal workplace but it was a job and in the current climate I am happy to be earning something. At 9am, I was assigned to a till to shadow a checkout girl. Within […]

Under normal circumstances I would not have taken the call during Eastenders. It is my one show that has a blanket ban on telephone conversations, I refuse to answer both my mobile or landline. The reason I did, was because I had been expecting a call from an agent, Sam but his e-mail on Monday […]
Welcome
Finally, after several years of thinking about it, I am finally here. Static HTML pages are so 1999, I need to bring myself into the 21st century. The WordPress application has been installed onto my server and I now have the mega operation of transferring over seven years of blog posts from pure HTML into […]
Tuesday 17th November 2009
A rather lame weekend if I am honest but then unemployment does dictate these things. I did not receive any news on Friday (as I had hoped) and in fact received the bad news yesterday morning at 9:13am via e-mail. Yes I was extremely disappointed but I pushed all my negative energy into applying for […]
Friday 13th November 2009
In readiness for Series Three of Gavin & Stacey I have been catching up on the first two series and the Christmas episode from last year. Unlike most people that may be using BBC iPlayer I was given the downloaded episodes by Pav on Tuesday afternoon. I never caught the show during the intial run […]
Sunday 1st November 2009
November already? The penultimate month of the year? 2009 nearly down? Well it is a year I am actually looking forward to seeing the back of for many reasons. Perhaps a little too early for a review of the year or even rant of the year. I will save for that sometime next month. Today […]
