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 […]

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 […]

GREEK is a show I cannot miss and last week was a treat. Dale was going through a period of being an atheist (which was just hilarious to watch). If that alone was not enough, he was trying out an online relationship with Vampire Girl 69. Calvin recommends that both Dale and Rusty get out […]
Guilty Pleasures
I am sure we all have them, those things we like that if the world at large knew, would laugh or worse. I suppose, I have to admit that I am more guilty than most on both counts. I have a great deal of guilty pleasures, which alone would not really be an issue. However, […]

It is strange when you build up to a moment in the short term, in the case here, the arrival of today. Yet, it does not quite live up to the expectation. Although for a change my expectations were low, I just wanted the afternoon to come around so I could leave. Not a fantastic […]

A very busy weekend for my last complete weekend in Newbury, so much so that I spent a great deal of it outside the town. It was Sachin’s 30th birthday on Friday and he had arranged a night out on Saturday in Leicester and invited me a long with many other old Uni pals. I […]

The US TV season is back in full swing and I now have a long list of television shows to watch, which take up most of the evenings in the week. GREEK obviously started first at the end of August but that has been joined by Heroes and The Big Bang Theory. We also have […]

I am still alive! I just have a the biggest backlog of all time to get through and just have not found the time to get around to blogging. There is so much to mention and so little time. I thought it best to flip the month over and continue to update the blog from […]
