If you asked me to select the one true king of Disney magic, I would not hesitate to say The Lion King. It is staggering to think the original film is 30 years old. I can still remember having my breath drawn from me by the epic first trailer (basically a rendition of The Circle […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! As we hurtle towards the end of May, what’s been happening? Life Insurance I’ll grant this is not the most exciting place to start a Muse, but a couple of weeks ago I had a call about my existing life insurance policy. As I do have life insurance, I […]
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Do I even need to answer this one? I think we all know what I’ll say…
Welcome to the latest edition of the Meerkat Muse! Facebook Fails We begin with the events of two weeks ago, when the world briefly melted down due to an outage of Meta’s various social media platforms. I wish I could say that I was immune to this, but my initial reaction was I’d been hacked, […]
To answer the question, no, I do not have any piercings. My wife considers piercings to be very sexy, but I am not brave enough to get one done! To be fair, at one point I’d have never considered tattoos, and now have several, but a piercing – especially of say, a nipple, or the […]
A few times now, I have placed prompts and ideas into AI art generators. The results come from an app called Imagine, and via Bing. Personally, I think Bing is slightly better, but both apps/sites have served up some colourful and creative interpretations of the suggested prompts. Yes, I am going to show you what […]
We are midway through an October that’s already been quite eventful! What has been happening? Changes As you may recall from a previous Muse, the assistant manager where I work recently resigned, to go to new pastures. We are now getting a replacement, who, on the basis of first impressions, seems like a really friendly […]
As I welcome you to this latest Muse, I have to reflect upon how summer is now more behind us than ahead of us. The kids are heading back to school, and the regular routine is back. Welcome to September. Shattered Glass I mean that quite literally. When I got to work a couple of […]
Welcome one and all, to the Meerkat Muse! Irritating Inclement Weather What does a Brit talk about a lot? The weather. Usually, we moan about the weather, and that’s where this Muse begins. You see, the last few days of July, traditionally a warm month, proved themselves to be horrifically damp. Granted, I am pleased […]
I'm gonna confess that my microwaved coffee was not that bad, but it was not as good as the one I subsequently made.
My daughter just suggested I am Richard from Gumball. I am honoured.
I’m quietly hoping Piastri wins this. #HungarianGP
EDIT: this post was written a few weeks ago, before Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy for the 2024 elections. I’ve left it otherwise unmodified, because I believe the overall point stands. Leaving aside for a moment my opinions as to who would be a better president, my thoughts drift to whether or not either candidate […]
