I do enjoy the cinema, here is where I plug Northampton Filmhouse next to the Derngate again as a lovely little cinema, big comfy seats that show new films a little later than the big cinemas and put on lots of the classics, but it’s a little pricey. Please go, because I do enjoy theContinue reading “Scheming Ballerinas – Long Read”

Pathetic
It’s all so fucking pathetic. Tawdry arguments happening over social media. Social media that these two wangers own personally. You have the richest man in the word, allegedly, arguing with the most powerful man in the world, allegedly, about who’s getting government subsidies and tax cuts. The richest man in the world, allegedly, is onlyContinue reading “Pathetic”
Taking a Week Off
So there wasn’t a post last week. I had an idea for one, but I just couldn’t get it off the ground. The idea was there, but the words were not and when that happens, instead of struggling through, I just don’t write the post. And then I left it too late to come upContinue reading “Taking a Week Off”
I’m Pissed Off
We all go through the ups and downs and this week, I’ve just been a bit pissed off. Let me start by saying that I am regularly pissed off about something so I suppose it’s not that note worthy, but I’ll try and expand like shitty foam that hits air and just splatters everywhere. You’llContinue reading “I’m Pissed Off”
Our Island of Strangers – Poem
I used to write poetry all the time, way back when twenty years ago. My final piece of work for my university degree was a booklet of ten poems and an essay breaking them all down. I had time back then to think, feel, mould words into stanzas that maybe made sense when linked together.Continue reading “Our Island of Strangers – Poem”
A Small Step Towards Happy
I was recently speaking to a neighbour who is very friendly and is one of those people who will help you out whenever you need them, even though we don’t really know each other. He’s the sort of hands on gent who is retired but worked in a trade all his life and has everyContinue reading “A Small Step Towards Happy”
200
Yay me! I made it to 200. Actually this is my 204th post. I missed the boat on marking the 200th properly. Shrug. I don’t know. I had the best of intentions of marking the 200th edition with some fanfare and then I got lost in other stuff and it just sailed past. But weContinue reading “200”
The Underpants Police – Long Read
Where to begin? Who wants to take a look in my underpants? Anyone? No takers? That’s fair. It’s grim I’ll tell you. A forest, with a small tree stump and a couple of dried up button mushrooms. Anyway enough about my genitalia, let’s talk about yours! Whatcha got? Go on, show me. No? No takersContinue reading “The Underpants Police – Long Read”
Mini Eggs
These tempting little bastards that only get sold between Christmas and Easter. They seduce me. Their shiny yellow packaging draws me in. I can see the packets in my brain now and my brain is tricking me into tasting them in my mouth where none actually are. They’re so good, I want them, I needContinue reading “Mini Eggs”
What Do We Do?
As wars ravish not too distant lands, as the stock markets crash and burn on computers around the world, I worry that I don’t care enough. I’ve been here before. I remember advice from my Mum (hi Mum!) about essentially only worrying about the stuff you can actually do anything about. What can I doContinue reading “What Do We Do?”
