[Track Of The Day – Shakira – Zoo]Placeholder for a future blog post, but I really need to bring back this feature; it was abandoned when I started providing a semi-live listening history over on my last.fm. Obviously subject to me having access to data while out and about.
Lucky Number 23
I am using this blog post to capture moments from not just this EPL season but the club football season at large, focusing fully on my club from North London. I will try and stick to a chronological order but may need to reference my Twitter/X feed to get the exact timelines in order. Game […]
North London Forever
A few years ago I decided to create a Gooner WhatsApp group with some of my close friends whom also happened to be diehard supporters of the club in red and white. In a weird twist of fates (you know how much of a date guy I am). The group was created on 26th May […]
Just Imagine… Imagine If It All Came True
The majority of my posts are related to music, and this most recent post is no different. Music is the ultimate time machine. It can take us to places that very few other things (emotionally) can. What were you doing in September 2000? If you were around, I was starting University, having just recovered from […]
Slowly Learning Life Is Okay
Almost exactly a year ago, as our family holiday in Spain was drawing to a close, I did what I always seem to do: I pondered the future. Where would I be in twelve months? Would things look or feel any different? Classic overthinker move. It’s such a human thing—this compulsion to squint into the […]
Dropping out of the MCU
This is an extremely painful post to write. Yet I feel I need to record the moment I took an enforced step back from popular culture. I wish I could say the hiatus is for a specific period but the reality is the break length is unknown. It is clear to all that I am not […]
Retiring Posts
This is something I feel I never would have to do, but sometimes you have to take a step back and take stock. Several hundred posts have been retired. However please note this is purely a temporary situation. I shall go back and review each post individually and then decide if it can be republished […]
Premature Whamageddon
I had hoped to last until the middle of December. I was not expecting miracles of reaching the 23rd of December and only then hearing the 1984 classic on the radio or some PA system. It is therefore, with great regret and a heavy heart I report on Saturday 2nd December at approximately 14:35 local […]
The Watershed Venue
Do you believe in fate? Do you believe that a film released 32 years ago could predict my future? I am here to tell you the universe works in mysterious ways. The film in question is Buddy’s Song released in 1991. The same year as Doctor Hollywood featuring my all-time favourite actor Canada born, American-raised […]
Once In A Lifetime
Let me take you back to the week before the August Bank Holiday over 12 years ago. It is 8:30am on Friday 21st August 2009 and I am walking around the North Terminal at Gatwick Airport. Waiting to board my 10:25am Easyjet flight to Valencia. By pure coincidence, it happens the weekend before the European […]
