We are a few weeks away from December. Now is the time to expect to see Christmas adverts on TV, and Christmas decorations on the shelves. However, the reality is that we start to see Christmas a lot earlier than November! Christmas-related wares pop up earlier and earlier, with some shops displaying their festive stock […]
I don’t quite know what is going on in the picture, but the idea was to convey an all-too regular occurrence in my house: getting jump-scared. I am notoriously easy to jump-scare, as my wife can attest to. She will burst out from behind doorways or cupboards, usually just shouting ‘rawr!’, but of late, she […]
Fireworks are absolutely beautiful works of art. These bright, colourful, amazing displays can warm you up on a cold November night, as is the case every year, on the 5th of November (and to be fair, usually a few days either side of the 5th!). However, these gorgeous displays of light hide a dark secret. […]
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. Good question. If you were certain to succeed at something, what would you put your energies into? There’s lots of what might be considered mundane skills that would be great to have. For instance, I do not drive. If I did, might that […]
There is a place within Disney’s parks that has become a legendary open secret for its opulence and attention to detail. It is an ultra-exclusive (and expensive) club, and there is a long wait to get in. I am talking of Club 33. The first edition of Club 33, which was accessed via a most […]
Who are your favorite artists? Have I done this one already? WordPress’s Prompt of the Day can be repetitive, which is why I have by-and-large avoided it, but every now and then, when I am struggling for inspiration, I’ll turn to it. The prompt from all the way back on the 10th of October was […]
The 1st of November 1993 was a big moment in European history. This was the date the Maastricht Treaty, which established the European Union, came into effect. Some – such as the yet-to-be-justified Brexiteers – would argue this was a bad moment in history. Others would argue that the European Union has been a force […]
It’s time for the spookiest time of the year! Now, I could turn this post into a lengthy explanation as to Halloween’s origins… or I could focus on what makes the occasion a fun, enjoyable night! Ever since my daughter was little, she has loved Halloween. My wife and I have pictures of her in […]
Yet again, the author of Theology Archaeology has twisted, lied, and evaded, attempting to pass off his long-running campaign of deceit, harassment and petty behaviour with a long-winded, and extremely self-indulgent post. As usual, he is too afraid to link directly to my posts, so people are unable to gain the correct context for the […]
Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for the 7th of October was portentous. This is an interesting word, a foreshadowing term, warning of (usually bad) upcoming events. You might be familiar with the expression ‘portent of doom’. Portent and portentous are related words, so it will be of no great surprise as to portentous’ meaning. Have […]
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...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
