[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 […]

It’s Now or Never
It is super rare for me to spend an afternoon with my eldest sibling (not elder – that is me remember!) and we planned an afternoon in the City so I had booked the afternoon off months ago. I was looking forward to the post-morning period of freedom. I pre-booked the train tickets (via TrainLine) […]
No Broadband, No Problem
People regularly ask me why I have a NAS (affectionately known as Dagobah) with a treasure trove of media. My response always begins, “What if the internet went down?” They expect me to be part of the Streaming Generation with the always-on high-speed internet connection. Now of course I am, I have Spotify and Netflix […]
The Crowd Is Roaring
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. A line from the hypothetical commencement speech, “Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young”. You may know it better as the Baz Luhrman song, “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen“. This line resided with me this week in particular when I was thankful for many of […]
Start Spreading The News
“Long overdue”, the words of my boss’s boss on feedback from my trip to the East Coast this week. Further confirmation (if it was ever needed) that meeting my colleagues at our corporate ‘mothership’ in Islandia, Long Island, should have happened a while ago. Travelling on business may sound glamorous but as I have to […]
Time Scales
Time as I am regularly reminded by others, is purely a human construct. A way for us all to contextualise change. Personally as long as I can remember I have been a ‘date’ guy. Linking events in my life, with music (every film needs a soundtrack) but also by global events, usually of the sporting […]
The Arsenal Way
My last two visits to the Emirates have been through the good fortune of winning competitions. Most recently on Saturday 15th September 2012, thanks to the wonderful ArseBlog (which I still ready daily and listen to both ArseCast and ArseCast Extra on a weekly basis while in the gym). I decided to take my Dad […]
