Have you noticed how there is nothing on television on Sundays. Even with Sky, there is a limited pool of watchable shows screened. When you consider that realistically I only have the choice of the terrestrial operators when in my room, it is appalling. At least before there was TOTP and Top Gear but not […]
Sunday 10th September 2006
Another weekend, another early start. I had planned to catch the non stop train to London Marylebone just before 9am. I got to the station with a good ten minutes before the train arrived. The train was packed, but we had been warned over the tannoy a few minutes before the train pulled up to […]
Friday 8th September 2006
You must be bored with the line I always spin on a Friday. Sure, there are millions of people around the world that must be relieved when the weekend finally lands and what makes me so special and different? Nothing. I just like to use, my favourite day of the week to look back on […]
Sunday 23rd July 2006
Part two of the lads weekend, started badly. I woke up much later than I planned and entered up rushing around in the my room, ignoring a missed call from Chris, jumping in the shower and rushing to the train station. Not a good start, not a good start at all. After purchasing my tickets […]
Friday 21st July 2006
We finally made it, even though there were doubts late into the working day. Okay it was much quieter than I expected but dealing with an issue right up to the wire, is the never the best way to end the working week. Thankfully my colleague (the only other person in the office with me […]

Superman is easily my favourite superhero. Perhaps because I saw the original movies at the right age to truly be engrossed by the Man of Steel. Even after seeing Superman Returns this evening at the Vue in Reading, I still would put Superman II as my all time favourite from the franchise, but only just. […]

My advice to you, on this Independence Day, is not to wear a red tie while at Heathrow Airport, standing anywhere near the Virgin Atlantic ticket sales desk. About three different people came up to me, thinking I worked there. Perhaps one of the strangest questions I have ever been asked, “Are you with Virgin?”. […]
Sunday 21st May 2006
After a rather lazy Saturday, where my only achievement was to go into town and get my haircut. I sat down to watch Eurovision on the computer, watching only the acts up to and including Daz Sampson and his Teenage Life rap. Then, I decided to shut down the computer and head for the living […]
Thursday 11th May 2006
Today could be seen as the first official day of the summer? Why? Well as I walked to my car in the office car park, I realised that it was the first opportunity to switch on the air conditioning. However, I opted to sweat in the car, wearing my suit and not adjusting my tie, […]
Friday 28th April 2006
When I turn to my blog on a Friday there is a usually a feeling of some achievement, no matter how minor, hanging around. Tonight I begin writing this Friday evening, with an empty feeling inside. At the beginning of the week there was a burden of expectation to get a bucket load of work […]
