There are daily rituals, weekly tasks and monthly chores. One of those for me is to read the fantastic ArseBlog every morning. I started reading many years ago and even listened to the first editions of the ArseBlog podcast (affectionately called the ArseCast). After the move into double-digits I gave up as I just did […]
The Teabag Mystique
Who am I? Difficult question to answer on my personal blog of almost a decade. Perhaps the answer is littered across some of the nine hundred and forty odd posts. However there are a few issues to consider. The person I want to be. The person I am perceived to be and ultimately how I […]
Chicken Life
As usual Doug Savage once again can summarize my current existence within the confines of a 3M Post-It Note. My wife, Michelle would wholeheartedly agree. I talk of grand plans to take on (and resolve) all the problems of our planet but instead just sit on my (now ever expanding) behind watching an endless amount […]
Picking Favourites
Most people are aware of their better half’s favourite everything (okay maybe not everything but almost everything) long before they get married. Michelle and I, are in this regard, playing catch up. Over the past few weeks, I have been constantly badgering my wife on her favourite song, movie star, television programme, advert or anything […]
Get Carter
Part Two of my blog post of Pavneet and Emily’s wedding, you can may want to read the first post on My Best Friend’s Wedding. I was woken up at around 9:30am, by housekeeping knocking on my hotel bedroom door. When I did not respond, I am sure I heard the cleaner come in, see […]
My Best Friend’s Wedding
A rather tired cliché title for what can only be described as a blog post I have much joy in posting onto the interweb. Are you sitting comfortably? I shall then begin. I met Pav at Henley College, way back in September 1998. He was in my A Level Business Studies classes and was regularly […]
The Heart Of Slow
One of the problems of no home internet access is that I now am unable to read the fantastic Diamond Geezer blog. Sure I could set up an RSS client on my mobile and pick up updates that way, but I actually enjoy reading the Blogger powerered blog live in full HTML glory. As 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 […]
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 […]
Woody’s Roundup
I thought it would be good to post a catch-up post, to collect together all my recent adventures. However, do not worry, I am still working hard on the India entries, and hope to post another entry before the weekend comes to a close. September is my favourite month of the year. The presumption most […]
