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 […]
My first Flickfeast article is now live! Please go check it out!
The other night contained a surprise – namely a dino-based, terrifying nightmare. I don’t know what prompted this particular heart-pounder, but it you can bet Jurassic, it was scary. Firstly, I was working with a team of demolish engineers, who had the bright idea of burning old demolition charges to get rid of them (even […]
Nooooooooooo, nothing like that… I am now a member of the Flick Feast family! What does this mean exactly? Well, my film reviews are going to wind up there, but I’ll make sure to let everyone know when a review or critique goes up!
I begin this post with an apology. I caught the highlights of the Spanish Grand Prix but never got around to writing a proper review of it as, to be frank, it wasn’t that interesting a race (Romain Grosjean’s spectacular first lap spin and subsequent three-car crash notwithstanding). It was possibly a key turning point […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
