It’s time for some much needed me time. I have a week off work, a rare pleasure, and one I feel I’ve earned, given the long slog of the past few weeks. I don’t have anything planned, save for going into London next Friday. That’s about it. This might be a good time to kick-start the creative […]
This one hits close to home. This is 2019. Why are people dying in our streets? This is not Victorian Britain. This is a damming indictment of our society. Lee was an addict, but he was still a person. He would have had people in life who cared about him.
Let it said that my daughter marches to the beat of her own drum. For Halloween she declared she wanted to go as a chicken. Because daddy would be going with her, daddy was required to go as a chicken as well. Last night she was very excited. To her, Halloween is a bit like […]
Halloween was supposed to be the day Britain left the European Union. Three and a half years of woeful negotiations, backstop chaos and the (broken) promise of an awful no-deal Brexit, we’re still in the EU, and will be for a few more months – unless someone other than the Tories wins the upcoming General […]
December 12th. It’s going to be a decisive date in the destiny of the United Kingdom. Britain will go to the polls to decide which party will lead the nation into 2020 and, possibly, into Brexit – or maybe, out of Brexit. It’s about so much more than just Brexit though. The Tories, since their […]
Following on from some recent posts (and a recent discussion of my own), this article provides an excellent message to the gatekeeping trolls. I urge them to heed it.
So yesterday I tried to call a customer. Their landline number stated I needed to be 18 to carry on the call and that it would cost 60p per minute. Bit weird for a standard area code call, but okay. After staying on the line, I suddenly get a message telling me ‘Stay on the […]
I’m astonished to think that this particular gem of a show is 25! It was, at the time, very unusual for Disney. It wasn’t the cutesy, cuddly stuff we’d come to expect. This show was gritty. Characters would display flaws. Actions would have consequences. There was a little more ambiguity over whether the bad guys […]
With the Brexit shambles rumbling on (Boris Johnson, previously determined to ram Brexit down our throats, whatever the consequence, by October 31st, has been forced to ask the EU for an extension of the deadline), the chance of a December General Election is suddenly on the horizon. Whilst Brexit will be at the forefront of […]
I have to confess, I don’t recall the first movie especially clearly, but it was, from what I do recall, quite entertaining. The sequel is certainly entertaining! So, a brief overview. The characters from the first film seek to set down roots but to some degree, some of them are restless. There’s new types of […]
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...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
