The other day I downloaded a freebie on the Nintendo Switch. If it’s free, I’ll tend to grab it. This little number is a skipping rope game, where you use the controllers to simulate the rope. Then you jump, aiming to reach 100 jumps. All pretty straight forward eh? You’d normally expect a bit of […]
Slowly I begin my return to the working world, albeit my next day back isn’t for a couple of weeks. I’ll work two days in a row though, which will feel odd. I wonder if it will be hot and sunny by then? I’m not one to moan about the weather, but lately the poor […]
I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put all the ways and means of contacting/interacting with me in one, easy to find place – in case the social media links weren’t obvious enough. An important project is The Coalition of the Brave. New contributors are always welcome. You can catch me on Facebook. You’ll definitely catch […]
The passage of time cannot, in every circumstance, retire pain and grief. It might ease, but it doesn’t go away. On occasions like today, the 15th anniversary of the London bombings, it becomes raw again. There is more that unites us than divides us. The forces at work who would thrive upon hatred failed then, […]
It seems like an eternity since I was able to enjoy a live F1 Grand Prix – being required to work weekends pretty much knackered that opportunity. Today, I was able to watch the first race of a much-delayed season, and the wait was most definitely worth it. Not for everyone though. In a season […]
Welcome to the first, much-belated round of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship. The venue for the first round begins and ends with A, but no, it’s not Australia, but instead it’s Austria. Interestingly the Red Bull Ring will host two consecutive races in as many weekends, but next week’s race won’t be called the […]
Last night I had patchy dreams, broken up by waking up a few times, including on one occasion because of one of the dreams. I’m not sure which dream unsettled me more – the work dream, or the apocalyptic dream. In theory a dream about a future overrun by humanity-hating AIs that can reanimate robots […]
… I’ll take a Corona… hold the virus. But in all seriousness, hands up if you truly believe this is a good thing. No takers? Not a single one? I can’t say I blame you. The decision to reopen pubs was always a bad idea at this stage. People + alcohol + pub = ignoring […]
The latest podcast is now live!
We’re watching Frozen 2, and as with the first film, it manages to tug at the heartstrings. People often underestimate kids movies, assuming them to be simple, devoid of depth, meaning and story. That simply isn’t true (certainly not of the best ones). A lot of kids films these days treat their audience with respect. […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
