I’m sure I wang on about this a lot, but over the last 10 years in chronological order, I have dislocated and tore ligaments in my left little finger, ruptured my right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL in the knee), broken my left collar bone and ruptured my left anterior cruciate ligament. I have matching scarsContinue reading “Exercise, Injuries and Pain”

They set out a manifesto and one weighs up all the different manifestos of the political parties and come a general election votes for the party with the promises they want to see enacted. Political party says, ‘we’re going to do all of these amazing things, voteContinue reading “Promises Promises”
Me, My Fragile Ego and I
There are times when I can visualise my ego. It sits in the chair just behind my work pc screen; it hangs off the bookcase in my ‘man cave’ just behind me; it rattles around in the boot of my car. I sometimes have to carry it on my travels in an oversized baby sling.Continue reading “Me, My Fragile Ego and I”
Love Island
For those not in the know, I hate reality TV. Like with a white hot passion. However when I first started stepping out with the Lovely Girlfriend she made me watch Love Island. Ok, she didn’t ‘make’ me but she wanted to watch it and in the interests of ‘getting along’ I would put upContinue reading “Love Island”
A Birthday Trip to Bath
Guess what…? The Lovely Girlfriend and I went on an awesome trip to Bath. And it was a belated birthday trip due to not being able to go in December last year. Despite the ridiculous weather we had a great time and managed to squeeze quite a few things in. We wandered past the AbbeyContinue reading “A Birthday Trip to Bath”

I see evidence of it everywhere still but a particular example happened last week and it fucked me right off. The Royal NationalContinue reading “Anger, Enemies and the RNLI”
Lieutenant Update Recommends
Drop and give me 20! (Please don’t strain yourself on my behalf.) But do please stand to attention for the Lieutenant. That’s what she said. And before we go on, I’m definitely pronouncing it Lef-tenant not Loo-tenant. Today is one of those days where I had a few things to recommend so a little updateContinue reading “Lieutenant Update Recommends”
Anger and Enemies
There are demons everywhere. Look under your mattress, down that dark alley, in the butter. Hold on, that’s not right. There are elephants in the butter, not demons. Sorry moving on… I firmly believe we, as semi-functioning humans are our own worst enemies, because we allow others to create our own worst enemies out ofContinue reading “Anger and Enemies”
It Came Home
About seven or eight years ago I fell out of love with the England football team. My perception at the time was they played boring football and didn’t really care for playing for their country. It seemed as though their focus was not on international football but on what they could get out of itContinue reading “It Came Home”
Personal Responsibility Part 2
Myself and the lovely girlfriend had a conversation the other day about, if given the chance, would I be Prime Minister. Now those of you who know me will not be surprised to hear I said, fuck yes! She swiftly asked me not to. I have the ego needed to think I could do theContinue reading “Personal Responsibility Part 2”
