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…
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…

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…
I was out getting food earlier at a nice country pub. The Friday late-afternoon crew were out in full force, as you’d expect. While I was waiting to be served at the bar, this bloke who I didn’t know from Adam started waving at me. I looked behind me, as I assumed he was gesturing…
If Carlsberg made pavements with mosaics…
