There’s been a few things going on in the news lately which have grabbed my attention and reminded me of what we, as a society, need to highlight and challenge. I’ll start with something I saw on Twitter earlier today… https://twitter.com/daniellaw1998/status/985815856947998720?s=21 Ableism is sadly all too prevalent in society, even in 2018. It is aided […]
Yesterday evening was one of those rare occasions where my wife and I got to go out as a couple and enjoy ‘date night’. To make things more fun, we got to venture into London! Being a geek I took advantage of this opportunity to snap some pics of beautiful London stations – and some […]
The blocked out word is one I hate using but it’s a very crude expletive, for those who are wondering. I don’t particularly care for the sentiment expressed by the tweet this ‘John’ is replying to, but the grossly offensive remarks by Mr Price and his subsequent attitude when challenged, is exactly the sort of […]
I’ve changed the system for comments to Disqus – this is in a bid to do what all bloggers want to do – generate more site traffic! However, I’ve removed all advertising from the site, as it was intrusive and I don’t like it. Lemme know what you think!
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful that the eternal winter is over (or appears to be over). I’m no longer using my thick winter coat and today walked to work without any coat whatsoever. That’s a win in my book. Unfortunately the consequence of bright sunshine has been two-fold – work has been very […]
It was supposed to be a normal school party, with the students preparing their farewells as they embarked upon new chapters of their lives, be it a course set for university or thrusting themselves into the working world. So why was it that he found himself hanging from a girder over a river of liquid […]
My latest video is all about Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo – his recent performance and where his future might lie.
My previews so far have suggested certain performances from certain teams and drivers. They have been pretty much useless. Case in point, Shanghai, China. This one was a slow burner, but ended as a classic. Qualifying produced a second consecutive Ferrari front row lockout. Kimi Raikkonen was close but Sebastian Vettel was able to snatch […]
It’s that wonderful time when Formula 1 races take place on consecutive weekends – everyone has packed up from Bahrain and quickly relocated to the Shanghai International Circuit, near the city of the same name, for round three of the 2018 season. Once again we have a venue with different characteristics to the two previous […]
Hot on the heels of this post, comes another terrific example of the Star Trek fandom’s problem with gatekeeping – I’ve plucked only three tweets, but there are plenty more from this guy. He’s actually inspired a video for my YouTube channel, which delves further into this murky set of ideas. That’s like saying you […]
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...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
