So there’s some no mark Member of Parliament called Katie Lam who is a Conservative and was a new MP in our last general election. I didn’t know there were new MPs for the Tories in the last general election, but this particular MP has forced her way onto the national stage this week. ApparentlyContinue reading “Some Cultural Cohesion – Long Read”

My Little Greek Odyssey – Part 2 – Long Read
Our second full day was pool based fun and relaxing. Emily managed to nab one of those beds with shades that was by the pool so I was happy in the shade, but it was very windy. It was so great to be in the pool, looking out at the city and all the historyContinue reading “My Little Greek Odyssey – Part 2 – Long Read”
My Little Greek Odyssey – Part 1
Feel like shit, just want the Acropolis back. I think I said the above in Athens airport as our Ryanair flight had been delayed whilst coming home. Emily sadly nodded and gave me a little smile. We were having to come home from our lovely week away in Athens. And the below pictures tell youContinue reading “My Little Greek Odyssey – Part 1”
On Being English – Long Read
The two gentlemen I’m going to write about today are easily recognisable with a little bit of searching, but I’m not going to mention their names. There’s no need to, I believe, to make the point I want to make. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it is to be English or British orContinue reading “On Being English – Long Read”
Friction
I firmly believe we need more friction in our lives. So much of what I do is to create less friction in my life. I don’t exercise because I’m tired, or there’s a twinge somewhere. I will get take out because I can’t be bothered to go to the shops or to cook. Not thatContinue reading “Friction”
When We Went To Wales

The Clicky Clack Demon
So I’m writing these posts arse about face, because really I should be wanging on about our little trip to Wales this week and then waffling on about The Clicky Clack Demon the week after, but fuck it, this is happening. I’ve never had a pet. My brother had asthma when we were growing upContinue reading “The Clicky Clack Demon”
Audio Is Here!

Lieutenant Commander Update
Howdy cowpokes, no idea why the Americanised greeting, but it seemed whimsical and I like whimsical. An update post this week. Things are busy, busy, busy. Work is busy, social life is busy. O and I’m going to Wales soon for a little weekend break, should be fun. I’ve not been to Wales (apart fromContinue reading “Lieutenant Commander Update”
Jurassic World: Regurgitated
Another week and another film review. The title of this post may lead you to believe that I didn’t enjoy the new Jurassic Park or World film. Well I bloody well did. Big dinosaurs, a sweaty Scarlett Johansson, what more could a guy ask for. It was fun and that was what I was expecting.Continue reading “Jurassic World: Regurgitated”
