Wealdstone had found themselves in the unusual territory of 8th place in League Two, at the halfway point of the 21/22 season, despite being a newly promoted club. With very limited resources, we had pulled off some great results, and moved well clear of the expected relegation dogfight. Instead, we were loitering near the playoff […]
Oh this will be good. There are many things I can moan and lament about, but I will pick something that’s recently been relevant to me. Having recently endured a second bout of covid, I remain incredibly annoyed that a microscopic virus can be so debilitating to a being as advanced as a human. Somehow, […]
The 20/21 season could not have gone better for Wealdstone. We had won the Vanarama National League at a canter, and booked our place in the Football League for the first time in the club’s long history. For 21/22, League Two football awaited, with numerous challenges. The players seemed to believe staying up was a […]
Well, firstly, I’m gonna switch this to ‘Prime Minister Campaign’, on the grounds of being from Britain, but I’m sure the general gist will be similar. Regular readers of this blog (or the Coalition of the Brave site) will be quite aware of my outspoken views on politics, and will have quite-rightly identified me as […]
Hmm. What can I set up for my ‘kat followers to sink their teeth into? Pineapple on pizza? Metric or imperial? Lager or ale? Is it called football or soccer? The tricky part is in setting up any form of debate that isn’t opinion-based. If I were to suggest ‘Star Trek vs Star Wars’, well, […]
Oh boy. I can really sink my teeth into this one. One of the greatest evils humanity has ever inflicted upon itself, is the belief that money is more important than anything else. Those with money and power have long done everything they can to retain their positions of privilege. You need only look at […]
Honestly, I don’t know what to say here. There are a number of historical events that I’ve lived through, and the most memorable ones are also the most painful ones. I cannot and will not label those a ‘favourite’ historical event, so let’s look around at history in general. On the 20th of July, 1969, […]
Famous the world over, Betelgeuse is a star that anyone who’s stared at the Constellation Orion will be at least vaguely aware of. Betelgeuse is star number four, also to be thought of as Orion’s left shoulder, and this bright star is usually the second-brightest of Orion, though occasionally, it becomes the brightest. This is […]
Bear with me here, this one may end up being a bit of a blur. It covers ground I’ve covered before, quite extensively, across more than one website, and if you ask me, some of these arguments make absolutely no sense. All too often, people conflate certain ideas, even when this conflation has been debunked. […]
Stress is the word, and stress is the opening theme. Bedsheets Is it daft to get seriously stressed over placing bedsheets upon a heated, indoor clothes dryer? I find the whole ordeal to be seriously aggravating. The sheets, to me, are unwieldy, and I cannot figure out how to put them onto the dryer in […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
It appears Spring has finally sprung! Welcome back to The Meerkat Muse! Tired Times Back at the very end of April, my wife and stepdaughter went to see the band Train in concert, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Getting there was reasonably straight-forward, but getting back had the potential to be very awkward. […]
