Having met Riju, and having been alerted of an attack on a nearby bazaar, I naturally left the Gerudo Desert completely, to focus on some me time. My aim was to complete a few side-quests, and see what they might yield. First, I went in search of Dinraal, the fire dragon. I headed north of […]
What is your career plan? What are the working ambitions of this meerkat? Well, in terms of my job as a bathroom sales consultant, I am generally quite happy where I’m at, though if I was offered the role of assistant manager I wouldn’t turn it down. The reality is, I am not under any […]
I’ll confess that my direct involvement in my local community is muted. I’ll take part in local elections, I’ll shop in local shops, and where I work, I service the local community with their bathroom needs, but in terms of say, getting out and campaigning for this and that, that’s not really who I am. […]
So, here we are at the halfway point of 2023. Well, sort of. We’re halfway in terms of months, but not days. In a non-leap year, such as 2023, the halfway mark is actually the 2nd of July, so whether we’re actually halfway through depends upon how you are measuring the passage of time. Nonetheless, […]
Abstinence is all about the practice of restraint. It is about controlling one’s self, usually from an addictive substance (such as alcohol), though in some quarters, it is also regarding as a form of birth control. Restraining one’s self from bad habits is no bad thing. In some regards, vegetarians are practicing abstinence from meat. […]
Lilapsophobia is the ‘irrational or disproportionate fear of hurricanes or tornadoes’. I’m not sure if it’s actually irrational to fear a hurricane. These huge, powerful storms rip apart buildings, toss cars through the air as though they are toys, and often bring devastating floods in their wake. Granted, if you have a deep fear of […]
Fulcrum is defined as ‘the support on which a lever moves when it is used to lift something’. In a figurative sense, it could be argued that we all have a fulcrum in our lives. My personal ‘lever’ would be my wife; she lifts me up! Gah, that sounds sappy, even by my standards… In […]
Having fled from a lynel last time out, I told myself I needed a clear plan for what to do next. I told myself ‘Ben, head for Kakariko village’, so naturally, I went to to find the Spring of Power instead. This was nestled in a little waterway, not far from the Zora, and like […]
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/28/covid-inquiry-boris-johnson-blunders-looking-grim-for-tories The spectre of the bungling and cold-hearted idiot that is Boris Johnson doesn’t seem to want to leave the political arena, despite never being suited for public office. Johnson has a history of deceit and incompetence, but due to his bumbling nature, he was able to charm those less-equipped to see through his charade, […]
What job would you do for free? Stop it, I know some of you are thinking rude thoughts. Just stop it, right now. What would I be so happy to do that I would require no renumeration for it? Video game tester? I can imagine that being quite monotonous after a while. Chocolate taster? Sounds […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
