I don’t know when it happened, but sometime or other (I think it was at about the same time that the whole world started to become obsessed with TV shows called ’Antique Hunt'and ’The property search ’), pink stopped being cool and girly and all things black took over! Just like that my [...]
If you find yourself in your vehicle lying on your car pillow wondering about these civil service strikes and if they will make a difference in your life, keep following thoughts in your mind. Civil service strikes have proven to be an effective way to get the government to pay attention to the needs and [...]
The last time a guy came around asking if he could do the windows, I said “you’re not going to stare through my bedroom window are you?” While I have to admit that there’s a lot worth seeing, saying this was a necessary evil…
Very seriously, and with the kind of face that could betray fun [...]
When I was growing up I thought that language was supposed to be fairly easily definable. In other words, I thought that If someone said “Look at that tree, isn’t it a tall tree?” It would be up to me (if I was the one being spoken to) to look at the tree and go [...]

LOL: for some time I had no idea what on Earth this meant. I thought it could be Lots of Laughing Lunatics or possibly Lolita, Oi, what a Lovely film! Then a friend informed me, smugly, that it actually meant Laugh Out Loud. I was baffled, honestly I was. So I made a pact to [...]
I wake up earlier than intended. Last night was a late one and I wanted a lie in today but the cold winter sunshine streaming in through the window seems to have other ideas for me. Reluctantly I roll out of bed, throw on some clothes and go and get a newspaper, passing a neighbour [...]
The World is big. Really big. Forget all these idiots who say, “it’s a small world!”it isn’t. It’s a massive world, and it has equally massive potential to astound and disgust. Not only really big and really brilliant (and bad) but also stupidly complicated. Now, considering that—at a guess—more than half of the world is [...]
