Have you been watching The People v OJ Simpson – American Crime Story? We have been watching via iPlayer (as we tend to go to bed early most school nights.) They have been planning this series for a while, I recall seeing sneak photographs of David Schwimmer, playing the late Robert Kardashian. The trial fascinated […]
A Journey Through History
As we fast approach British Summer Time – the clocks change three weeks from today, the mornings and early evenings tend to be a little brighter. Perhaps the perfect moment to take you all on a journey. My daily commute from a village in North Bracknell to the village of Datchet across from the M4 […]
If Music Be The Food Of Love
Never thought I would be quoting Shakespeare on my blog, but with the burden of requiring a fresh title for each post, comes the need to borrow from our greatest Word-smith. Using the date as the post title, is so 1998. Towards the back end of 2015, as I jump in the car to drive […]
It’s A Trap!
I should have seen this film, the film of the year at 00:01 on Thursday 17th December at the BFI IMAX in Waterloo. As already made clear, this was postponed until further notice. We finally got around to watching the latest instalment in the space opera franchise some 16 days, 17 hours, 14 minutes later […]
On The Ladder
Alongside getting married, getting on the property ladder are one of those life milestones. You truly have arrived in the world as an adult if you have a mortgage to pay and henceforth a little piece of land to call your own. Before I go into the main feature, let me start with a brief […]

With now only hours remaining of 2015 time to give you access to the Jet Pack Annual Report.
Fast & Furious
On the first day of my holidays, we were driving down the Bath Road and I spotted a bright white Seat Ibiza ahead of us with an interesting badge. I very much doubt this vehicle was packing a Nitrous Oxide system but then again, this is Slough. Anything is possible!
American Muscle
Spotted this brand new Dodge Challenger parked up in Nicholsons Shopping Centre, Maidenhead this afternoon and just had to take a few photographs, just before the owner turned up to drive home. I believe he had just visited the David Lloyd gym. Now as much as I would love to own a beast of a […]
The Social Network
When you meet people sometimes you just know. You know they are bound for greater things in life. A case in point is my ex-colleague Rob Graham. At my first interview at CA (way back in May 2013), I could tell this guy had that extra spark, that magic dust, and if I may be […]
Doctor Hollywood
The saying is often repeated, do not meet your heroes, for they will always let you down. They will never live up to the high expectations you had in your mind. In modern times, with platforms such as Twitter, our celebrity and sporting heroes are only a short 140 character message away. This is not […]
