(Fernando Alonso is hoping for progress in time for Spain) So far it’s pretty fair to say that McLaren have had a woeful season. I ambitiously predicted that drivers Alonso and Button would finish 8th and 9th respectively in the driver’s championship, but for that to happen the team need to step things up a […]
Time for a bit of shameless nostalgia. Back in 1992 (that feels like a long time ago!) Nintendo released Super Mario Kart for the SNES, and a life-long love affair was born. By today’s standards Super Mario Kart is hardly amazing in terms of graphics or sound, but the true mark of any game is […]
With my appreciation of the Honor Harrington series well known to my wife, a couple of years ago she asked a guy in the local bookshop about other, similar stories. He introduced her to The Lost Fleet series, and she in turn introduced it to me. I’ve got to say, I’ve been hooked since the […]
Another thing I’ve been up to with my site is looking at other themes. WordPress has a considerable range to choose from, and earlier today I was playing around with said themes. After all, a redesign never hurts! So far though, nothing has leapt out at me as being straightforward enough to change it too. […]
One of the things that I love is books. I have always enjoyed reading, and as a kid I would read Roald Dahl books over and over again. It was his vivid and often macabre imagination that fired my own, and his books were just a joy to read! As an adult my tastes lean […]
Recently I kick-started an idea to do with busting jargon. On reflection (as I am trying to do this on a semi-professional basis), I have decided I am not playing to my strengths. Yes, I feel I can offer some insights into how retail works – and I might well continue to do so, but […]
So I’m walking with my wife and daughter as we head home from her school, when we hear a woman shouting for help from down the path. Turns out the poor dear tripped and cut her arm and bashed her hip! My wife and I, and a neighbour, helped get her home (along with her […]
So I’ve decided to use the knowledge and experience I’ve gained in retail for good instead of evil – I’m sure you’re all relieved to hear that – with a new site that offers up jargon-busting reviews of products and services. I hope you like!
Round four of the 2015 F1 season took place earlier today, under the floodlights of the Bahrain International Circuit, and having delivered a pole lap nearly half a second faster than Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton was largely untroubled as he took his third win of the season. His race was uneventful, save for one slightly […]
After a break of only a week since the Chinese Grand Prix, we have arrived (metaphorically in my case) at the Sakir circuit in hot and dusty Bahrain. Last year this race (which was the first Bahrain GP to be held at night) saw an exciting, race-long battle between Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
