The BBQ
Well, in the end, this was moderately successful… save for a burger that sacrificed itself so the sausages could cook.

In yet another demonstration of his ignorance, not to mention another revealing look at how out of touch he is, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage (chief architect of the lie that the NHS would receive an extra £350 million a week post Brexit) was up in arms over plans to float a Trump ‘manbaby’ balloon […]
Yesterday saw a brief spell of what I like to call ‘daddy daughter time’, when it’s just the two of us. We didn’t do anything particularly exciting (she wanted to watch Shrek, so we watched that with a few bits of snacky food) and cuddled up on the sofa. Sometimes, something as simple as that […]
Another week, another Brexit-related crisis. The Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson have both resigned as the government lurches, seemingly without much control, toward some kind of deal with the EU over how things like trade and immigration will work, post-Brexit. I have said it before and I will say it again […]
So England disposed of Sweden 2-0 at the weekend to move one step closer to glory – a semi-final against Croatia beckons on Wednesday evening, leaving England finely poised. I remember – albeit dimly – England’s last appearance in a World Cup semi final – I was a young boy, in the backseat of my […]
As an Englishman there are certain inescapable truths about my life. I drink tea. I loathe winter and yearn for summer but moan that it’s too hot. I also know in my heart that when England end up in a penalty shootout at a World Cup, we’ll lose. Except for the other night when, in […]
Ages ago – two years ago in fact – I started a little chronicle of my Football Manager 2012 career. Thanks to a slow laptop that we ended up with out of necessity, I was unable to continue that particular saga, but now, thanks to a new, much improved piece of hardware, I can present […]
My blog has been quiet lately. There are a few reasons – for one, work has kept me very busy, two, my blocked nose (the result of hayfever that simply won’t shift) has persisted for a while (we have in fact almost reached the one month mark, boo!) and, finally, the pace of the laptop […]
As those of you who follow both Meerkat Musings and The Coalition of the Brave are aware, I have, on several occasions, exchanged words with the author of Theology Archaeology. As a matter of fact, there’s an on-going ‘chat’ regarding morality (among other things) taking place right here. I’ll leave it to you to decide […]
This is The Sun’s typically sensationalist headline this morning: In one sense, as MPs prepare to vote, they’re right – in this meerkat’s humble view, voting through a half-baked, semi-disastrous Bill would constitute a betrayal of the public. It certainly wouldn’t help the country in either the short term or the long term. In another […]
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. […]
