I write this on an old, slow machine, one that was slow and decrepid when we got it. It is however still working, which is more than I can say for the new laptop we got about six months ago. Still, I can’t be too harsh on the new laptop or the manufacturers, seeing as […]
I’m fast running out of patience for certain elements of work, which I’m sure are impacting my overall mood. From unscheduled deliveries that drag me off the shop floor to difficult and awkward situations resulting from a lack of clarity and direction, work is fast becoming a source of stress and even, at times, anger.

It’s finally here! Well, the trailer is anyway… Avengers: Endgame is the conclusion of a journey that started way back in 2012 with Avengers Assemble. It’s the culmination of the tragic events of Infinity War and we’ll see if the finger snap will have lasting consequences. Meanwhile, what does the trailer actually look like? What […]
So I have been commenting on Brexit on the official Tory party Facebook page… among the other responses I got, there was one particular gem. I’m confused. Holding another vote, a representation of a democratic process, something which we do all the time, is somehow treasonous? Do we not hold elections all the time, reflecting […]

It was recently my birthday – a time to pause and reflect upon what’s happened between now and my previous birthday, which this time around has seen a change of job, with all the associated pressures and rewards therein. It’s kinda sad – this time last year I was still working for the bathroom place […]
Time for a little of introspective musings. Maybe it will do some good to vent some steam. It certainly can’t hurt right? So here goes… I am fast approaching the completion of my first year at my ‘new’ job, which is a very different change of pace to what I was used to before. There’s […]
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. […]
