Years ago I was at a boring work team-bonding week. Well, most of it was boring apart from a bit I always remember about levels of communication. Did you know that non-verbal communication is often considered the highest level between humans. A quick raise of the eyebrow, a change of expression and even micro-expressions are…
I was looking through some old messages earlier (looking up some birthday dates). On occasion I read things I’ve written and I think to myself, “Wow, did I write this? It’s very random.” This is one such example of something I wrote in a reply: “This is worrying because at this rate I’ll be thinking…
Turns out washing machines aren’t losing them… they’re recruiting for a sock utopia If you happen to have a very powerful telescope with the mind bending ability to do things no other telescope can do, then you should peer into it and I think you’ll find that there’s a parallel universe made entirely of lost…
Birthdays. They’re a funny thing aren’t they. It’s a bit like your life running on a taxi meter and everyone celebrating because the journey is costing you an extra quid. “Hurrah you’re older and today we can be smug,” they say excitedly… as they dance around the mulberry bush.

I’m pushed for time as the weekend is almost upon us, so this is just a quick one… I nearly wrote something on here in the blog today. Then I decided against it as I don’t feel it’s for public consumption and it probably never will be. Some things are better kept locked away in…

Apparently your brain records everything that you have ever experienced. Obviously, there’s no way you can recall all of it unless you’re a savant and they’re usually socially stilted, so you don’t really want to be one of them if you can help it. With all that said, there are certain things people say that…
Rummaging Through Drawers Reveals First Mobile Phone (2001-2005) And A Pair Of Silk Knickers (Just Kidding) Imagine my surprise when I was rummaging through some drawers the other day, only to discover my very first ever mobile phone. It was 2001 and SMS texts had changed the game, meaning more and more people were snapping…
As a kid growing up I was fussy. Perhaps one of the fussiest, if there can be such a thing. Particularly when it came to food. There’s only certain things I would eat and if I didn’t like something, it was non-negotiable. Here’s a few things I didn’t like: * Coffee – Because it made…
Today I am going on a quick walk down memory lane to when Rolo the Dachshund puppy made his entrance. It’s been 3 years since then and my gosh, how they have flown. Right, let’s get in the DeLorean and skiddaddle back about 36 months or so, which really is just a blink of an…
