Ok, so, bear with me here. I am inspired by what’s on TV as I type. My wife is watching UK’s Strongest Man, so… UK’s Weakest Man! I might actually win this one… I don’t think there’s much mileage in that idea, so let’s think of something else. Four Days at Denise’s? You spend four […]
I’d have to include some of my weird, personal artwork, such as the above. It would fun to receive that again, some twenty or thirty years from now. I’d chuck in my meerkat costume, for giggles. There’d be some railway stuff in there. How could I not feature something Lion King related? There would inevitably […]
When you have a nearly-teenage daughter, you hear a lot of funny stuff. My daughter sent me a video the other day, and it is utterly strange, and perfect for this prompt: She also likes to suggest I like Sid the Sloth. I am a meerkat, dammit!
Wow. This might just be the hardest prompt so far. An urban myth?! A new legend? A local nightmare? Maybe it would be a fun legend. After all, does it have to be scary or menacing? ‘Legend has it, that at every Full Moon, we all briefly become our inner furry’. Cue gluing feathers or […]
Tittynope. Despite coming up with a red line denoting a spelling mistake, it is actually a word, and no, it is nothing rude or untoward. Yes, I see you in the corner, sniggering. Control yourself. Tittynope means ‘a small quantity of something left over’. It is often used in relation to food. ‘There is a […]
I have been at a bit of a loss for motivation to do Saturday Surprise posts of late, so I haven’t. But last week, this years Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards finalists were announced, and that’s always fun stuff! The annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are fun, sure, but there is a deeper purpose behind the […] […]
Leave it to David Thiessen to choose strange hills upon which to fail. Leave it to the unbelievers to make false accusations and ignore the reality of what took place. We are not techno experts and sometimes when we use technology, things mess up. But leave it to MM to make false accusations because he […]
Recently, David Thiessen has written a couple of posts that relate to my material, but has decided against providing direct links, and even giving credit where it’s due. So, he’s gone from not even being capable of using my name, to not even linking to my site when he quotes me, to not even acknowledging […]
We are rolling into autumn, the heat of summer is now but a memory, and the nights are getting longer. September has been a tiring month on this green and pleasant isle, and now it draws to an end. Remembering Greatness This is my Grandfather, Ben Berwick. I was named after him. In this photo, […]
Inspired by this post from Lolsy, comes an interesting (and definitely not suitable for work!) take on words with dual meanings!
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Suspicious Minds You may be wondering where I am going with this. Well, this relates to possible efforts to get into some of my accounts. Specifically, I had an email alerting me to someone who tried, and failed, to access my mobile phone account. Going back further, I’ve had sporadic emails alerting me to attempts […]
