How to damage your foot in under 2 minutes whilst obliviously recording a tour of the villa in Lanzarote… I’m obviously both the narrator and the accident prone, rolled into one for the purpose of this video. It started off so well 🙂

My Top 25 Tweets Of All Time (Plus My First)
Somehow I’ve been on Twitter (some people call it ‘X’ now 😉 since 2011. I just went back to see what the first thing I ever “tweeted” was and it was this on NYE 2011: I really just used it as a surreal brain dump/observation post until I created this blog. Somehow I’ve posted on…
Rabbits!
I designed this rabbit t-shirt (not for me) but it was one size out so I ended up with it 🙂 Here I am wearing it, after swimming nearly 20 miles and numerous meetings with gravity since June. Now almost 3 months into my renewed fitness regime. What d’ya think? Good? Bad? Indifferent? 😉 And…
Introducing Dean: Just For Fun
I did a thing… Introducing Dean. Just for fun and somewhat tongue-in-cheek of course: I ended up getting carried away and created a version with a bit of extra added sauce: Which one is best? Answers on a postcard (or in the comments)
Cha Cha Sliding and Co-Ordination
I’ve got something I want to get off my chest… and it’s not a bra. No, “Your t*ts are bigger than mine” jokes either, thanks. First though, I have to frame this and put into context. At school there was an athletic kid who could do backflips in the playground. For some silly reason there…
Dating Like It’s 1999
I’ve got mixed feelings about online dating. Back in the early days of the internet it was a bit different. In the early(ish) 2000’s we had Lycos and I went on that on a whim. There were chat sites that were basically dating sites in disguise…and then there were dating sites which I never really…
Another Lap Around The Sun (Still Dodging The Chandler Bing Grin)
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…
Love Will Tear Us Apart Again + Mix Tapes
I’ve never bought a Joy Division album. Maybe I will one day. But they did give us one of my favourite songs: Love Will Tear Us Apart. In 2002, NME named it the greatest single of all time, so who am I to argue? I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about…
AOL Instant Messenger: The Addictive Sound of That AOL IM Door Opening
I never had AOL as an internet service provider. I was on something one of my friends referred to as “Cowboy & Wireless”. I think back in the early 2000s users of AOL got AOL Instant Messenger bundled up with it to use as a real-time direct messenging service over the internet. Back then all…
Love@Lycos Dating Stories: My 2003 Online Dating Experience
This is my memory of a bright time that I think should have panned out differently, at least from my point of view. Shared with affection and respect. It’s a long one (as the bishop once said to the actress) so before you read it I suggest you grab a beverage and hold onto your…
