The Star Trek Cake!

Back when I was still a kid (which feels so long ago sometimes!), I found myself regarding one particular sportsman as a cut beyond the rest. That man was Nigel Mansell, and I detail the impact he has had on my love of Formula 1 here.
So, my little girl is now at school full-time! No more half days, this is where she is there all day! It’s scary to think how quickly this has come about. When we walk her to school I can’t help but notice all the kids in nursery uniform, and all I can picture is my […]
So, over the past couple of days I’ve been writing some additional material for my Formula 1 page – namely a series of pages about some of the sports most iconic figures and teams. However, looking back on what I’ve written so far, I’ve come to the conclusion that these pages are just re-writes of […]
So, another race done and dusted. The heat and humidity of Singapore overcome for another year. After a dramatic qualifying session yesterday that saw Lewis Hamilton snatch pole by just 0.007 seconds, the chances were good that the battle would be a tight one between himself and title rival (and Mercedes teammate) Nico Rosberg. The […]
I’ve been giving some thought to video-blogging – I have a YouTube account, so why not do it? It’s quite tempting and it’s a more personal way of getting my message out there – but I don’t have a lot of time to devote to it. Also, my face is more suited for radio than […]
Common sense prevails over jingonistic sentiment and Scotland remains part of the Union. Good – together we are stronger than we ever could be apart!
Today I ended up doing an all-dayer at work. This is not the first time this has happened and won’t be the last. Why put myself through that? The bottom line is, if I don’t, I will never get through everything I need to do. It sucks, and and I am loathe to do it, […]
So, it’s time for the latest bi-weekly site stats update! (I can tell you’re all trembling with excitement – which page is soaring high, which nation is scoring the most hits???). The past two weeks have seen a dramatic surge or two with activity, but then, this corresponds to a more aggressive marketing strategy. So, […]
Yesterday we ventured off to Southend-on-Sea (a combination of cosmopolitan city and seaside resort town) to check out an attraction docked at the end of Southend Pier (which by the way, is the longest pleasure-pier in the world, at over a mile long) – namely, a replica pirate ship! I had hoped to share a […]
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.
Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. There is a question that’s recently been circulating around the web. It’s aimed at women, and the responses are quite telling. ‘Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man, or a bear?’ A lot of women are choosing the bear. The reason is simple […]
