What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. It could be the TV. It does pretty much get used every day. It’s at least 10 years old, if not slightly older, but still works absolutely fine. Its exact usage varies; it is largely used for gaming, though there are quite […]
Emotions. We all have them. We all experience them. Love, anger, happiness, despair, jealousy, joy… they are part of the human experience. Those emotions will manifest themselves in various forms. Tears? They can be provoked for a variety of reasons. Sadness? Of course. I cried at the funerals of two of my aunts, and of […]
The above is a tweet of mine from a few days ago. For reasons that remain a mystery to me, Twitter’s promoted posts (aka sponsored adverts) kept producing ads for the same products, namely bras. I don’t wear bras, and all the stuff around support and lift is of zero interest to me, yet a […]
Describe one of your favorite moments. One of my all-time favourite experiences is one that happened twice! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, in 2004, on my birthday no less, my future wife and I (at this point, still within our first year of dating) had a weekend in London. This featured a somewhat chaotic experience with hotels mixing […]
We approach July, and the halfway point of 2023, with some interesting political news… Johnson can get Stuffed Back on the 15th, the Privileges Committee’s report into whether or not Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over Partygate finally hit the public domain. Given Johnson had resigned as an MP the week before […]
What notable things happened today? So… are we talking stuff that has happened on the 27th of June 2023, or stuff that has historically happened on this date? If we’re looking at historical significance, then like most days in history, the 27th of June is filled with various events (many of them macabre). In 1556, […]
I have craved summer, and now it’s here, I am delighted to have bright sunshine and blue skies, but there is a price that I pay every year, and that is in the form of hay-fever. Hay-fever is the British way of saying ‘pollen allergy’. Certain plants leave me with a runny nose, sore red […]
What are you passionate about? If we’re talking casual interests, I can write you a fairly long list. I could go on. Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Lion King, Liverpool Football Club… these are all subjects of great personal interest to me. In most respects, these have been lifelong interests too. I know where my […]
For all of my complaints about the retail life, I dare say I am something of a people person. I find it relatively easy to talk to people, and in sales, all the fancy terms and processes can be distilled to one thing: communication. Being able to easily talk to people is a useful ability […]
What are the most important things needed to live a good life? Now here’s an interesting question, and undoubtedly a subjective one. Some people might argue that a good life is defined by success in whatever venture or field they have focused on. For example, a scientist might regard their life as good if their […]
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 […]
