For everyday thoughts and reflections.
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. Today just so happens to be…
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…
Firing Up My Old Nokia 3330 – 20 Years (Ago) of Contacts Still Inside… And It Even Has A New Number (Trumpet Blows) You never know what you are you going to find when you switch on an old phone. I recently wrote about rediscovering my old Nokia 3330, which was the first mobile phone…

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.

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…
In the cafe earlier, I overheard someone say, “I wouldn’t mind a slice of that pie.” Turned out they meant Banoffee. Shame… I was ready to take notes. Years ago, when I worked at Transco, they used to sell cheese muffins and minestrone soup in the canteen. A bloke called Rob used to sit opposite…

Let me take you on a journey to a bridge I went to earlier today… There’s a bit you have to go through, where you have to be Steven Seagal to get to the other side (I won’t talk about the time someone was flat up against the wall in shocking fashion). Once you’ve made…
