This is a quick story about an emotional encounter I had with a man, who was unfortunate enough to find himself homeless. I should also add I am only too well aware there are a lot of blaggers who claim to be homeless who are anything but, and do this as a career to top…
Ever said yes to something after imbibing alcohol… and wondered if you’d regret it later? Yeah, this is that story… A Few Beers Is All It Takes I was out one night with a couple of friends, having a few beers, and we got to talking about the ‘next adventure’. The last one they did…
Take A Tour With Me As I Literally Go Running Up That Hill… Blair Witch Style (LOL) A couple of week ago I got COVID and as you may have noticed from my posts in this blog, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole. Reflecting on that, I think COVID puts you into…
The first car I ever owned was an MG Metro 1.3 with a pull-out choke. I learned to drive in a Metro so getting one of those seemed like a natural move to me. I liked the fact it looked a bit more sporty for a first car and I bought it before I even…
People that are characters fascinate me. You can keep all your bean counters and people who don’t prod things at the edges to see what will bend. Here are some people who spring to mind that have done or do fascinate me and you probably won’t know most of them: Joe Rollino – He…

If you’ve been around long enough, cast your mind back to 2003. A time before YouTube existed or smartphones. All people had back then was a phone that could send texts and online dating was probably viewed as a ‘little bit weird’. This was a time when things like AOL messenger and ICQ were popular….
Before I segue into what I want to talk about today, I would also like to say that I am going to be writing some shorter posts. With that out of the way, let’s move into the Twilight Zone, or rather… who created it. For a series that came along as early as 1958, it…
Have you ever noticed most of the cars they make now all look the same? If you took the badge off many of them, you wouldn’t even know who made them. It wasn’t always like this. Back in the day they had hot hatches like the iconic Mark 1 Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Peugeot…
