I drew inspiration from Twitter for this, in particular a tweet from the lovely Rui: Where I live, I am not far from the seaside town of Southend-on-Sea. Southend has some rough edges, but it is also a typical seaside town, complete with numerous arcades (where among the coin-operated video games, you have crane machines […]
What gets better with age? There are two obvious answers: And… Naturally, your mileage will vary. The more mature cheese gets, the more intense the flavour, and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I like a bit of intensity in the flavour of cheddar (I should note that I have no idea how well […]
If you were put this question to me, I would struggle to answer. A part of me would be tempted to say ‘neither’. Some mornings, I can leap out of bed feeling quite energised. Other mornings, I sort of pour myself out of the bed, like a tired liquid. Some evenings, I feel dog-tired, and […]
Friends, meerkats, all of you, lend me your ears, it’s Meerkat Muse time! Work it… Work it Real Good No, I am not shaking my booty or gyrating my ass, or thrusting my hips. I am quite literally referring to work. Circumstances have been quite tough of late, due to a colleague being off long-term […]
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony? I’m pretty sure we all quietly ignore something annoying, or grating, about our loved ones and friends, for the sake of getting along. To keep the peace, we’ll casually overlook say, messy eating, or an untidy desk, or some other habit, lest an argument […]
This prompt was suggested by my wife! I cannot remember the last time that I personally put on the radio. When stuck in a five hour traffic jam with my regional manager, we listened to a bit of radio, but as it was his car, that was his choice. I have no idea when I […]
On what subject(s) are you an authority? Hmm. I don’t know. Could I be considered an authority on anything, though I dare say I am more knowledgeable than most of my circle of friends at bathroom design, and within the people I know, I am probably the biggest Nintendo fan. I could talk your ear […]
Every need a demonstration of how unchecked greed, combined with an out-of-control ego, can destroy a business? Look no further than Twitter. I have been on Twitter for over twelve years, and had many animated, stimulating discussions upon the platform. I have made friends via Twitter. It has, in the past, been a good place. […]
Recall if you will the Back to the Future films. They were highly watchable and very much a product of the 80s! Part II gave rise to some interesting ideas about what the future would look like, and whilst it would get some stuff wrong, the film successfully predicted a number of things. For example, […]
No, it’s not what you think (yes, I am looking at you in the corner, sniggering). Picture the scene. You’ve been out with workmates for a few drinks, and you are a bit merry. I have a tendency to be a happy drunk, and upon arriving home, I was indeed in a good, warm, glowing […]
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 […]
