It’s a New Year (and a new laptop!), so what better time to start a new career on Football Manager?! This is on the 2021 edition of the game, so we’re rewinding the clock a little. The 2020 European Championships and the 2022 World Cup have not yet taken place, and it remains to be […]
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 […]
Here’s to you all, I wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2023 be better.
In the wake of my F1 driver profiles, I figured I’d do the same thing with footballers, and what better place to start than arguably the greatest of all time, Pelé. When I started to write this, the great man was still with us. A few days later, he was gone, at the age of […]
We have arrived at the end of another year. Last year brought highs and lows, and 2022 has been no different. There’s been turmoil, and stress, and sadness, and laughter, and love. Early 2022 brought with it the unpleasant experience of covid-19. The illness ripped through my household, and left us all feeling tired and […]
This is the erroneous claim made by ‘Politics Aired‘ (and several others), over the arrest of a woman in Birmingham. It is also falsely claimed that she was arrested for praying. Unfortunately, people are quick to regurgitate inflammatory soundbites, without ever stopping to consider what the facts actually are. As per this article from the […]
Well, if we ever needed a reminder in my house that covid is still with us, my daughter provided it, on Christmas Day no less. She was a bit under the weather, so we tested her, and sure enough, she tested positive. Great, just great. She is, by and large, absolutely fine, as is my […]
It’s that time of year again! To everyone, I wish you a very Meery Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Ok, I have no bloody idea where to start with this one! I refer to the previous prompt about generations, and I have to conclude that Gen Zs are more likely to understand the role of influencers than this tired old Millennial. You see them everywhere these days. Instagram is full of people who share […]
Good question, tough one for me to answer. Millennials are considered to be those born between 1981 and 1996, and Gen Zs are categorised as born between 1997 and 2012. Millennials would be the first generation to grow up in the era of the internet, and as a Millennial myself, I dare say the rise […]
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.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
