I don’t really get starstruck. Very few people would make me go weak at the knees with their ‘famousness’, but there are people I admire. To be frank with you, I admire anyone that is very good at their craft, especially things like acting, writing and comedy. You need BIG KAHOONAS to go into comedy…
A few weekend snaps. Survived the rain and the booze
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…
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…

After the past two mammoth entries on this blog, I thought I would break things up a bit with a (some would say comedy) video I made a few years ago, which was all about fruit (or was it?). I often used to piss about making silly little videos like this and I’m thinking about…
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…
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…
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…
