Hello one and all. Bit of an update post this week. Every now and then I post some photos of stuff I’ve been looking at recently. I realised in the summer that I don’t use my phone camera enough. Now I don’t want to become obsessed with having my phone in front of my faceContinue reading “Brigadier Update”

What’s Up With the Government?
A few weeks back I wrote a post about what Labour were up to now they were in government. And I used a dog’s butt hole to punctuate my point. I know, classy. So what’s up with them now? What the fuck are they playing at? The new government was meant to be sensible, sleazelessContinue reading “What’s Up With the Government?”
Exercise
Now I promised myself and yourself a few weeks ago that I was going to exercise a bit more and I was annoyed at myself that for whatever reason, I just could not seem to get going. Well with the help of a recommendation from my neighbours who are very exercise orientated, I’ve started goingContinue reading “Exercise”
My Cognitive Dissonance
I want to start with the definition of cognitive dissonance because I hear the term a lot, but there are times when I’m just a little unclear on the meaning so it will help me out to keep referring back to it. The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs or attitudes, especially as relating toContinue reading “My Cognitive Dissonance”
The BFI and a Film Review
After a two year delay, I was finally able to go to the British Film Institute Archive Open Day on Sunday. It was fun and eye opening. Essentially it’s a facility that comprises some offices, some ‘labs’ where film is worked on and preserved and some vaults or archives that house millions of metres ofContinue reading “The BFI and a Film Review”
It’s Been a Long Year
I seem now to get my new music tastes from other people’s Instagram posts. I heard a new song on a ‘story,’ Everywhere, Everything by Noah Kahan. I immediately enjoyed it, Spotified it and added it to my playlists that were appropriate. On listening to the song for the first time, the very first lyricsContinue reading “It’s Been a Long Year”
Where Has All the Hope Gone?
And so we’re back once again with the UK politics. Where has all the fucking hope gone? Our new government are having to contend with a poisoned chalice because the previous Tory government kicked issues down the road. Ooooo the metaphors. Prison overcrowding, striking workers and a massive hole in our country’s finances to nameContinue reading “Where Has All the Hope Gone?”
American Politics
I write a lot about British politics. Don’t you worry that hasn’t gone away now that I’m more aligned with the government. I think there’s lots of areas in which they can improve and I’ll be saying as such. But for the moment, American politics is looming large. And if you’re interested in British politics,Continue reading “American Politics”
Keeping Up
I’ve been a bit lax on the old blog recently and I don’t like that, because surely I have enough time to write five hundred words every week. I’ve had lots to do at work and when I get home, I’m mentally tired and stressed. And this is not always conducive to writing a blog.Continue reading “Keeping Up”
A Week in Life – Long Read
On Wednesday evening this week I was mildly aggrieved. I was due to go to the cinema in town to watch Deadpool and Wolverine for the second time. I’d seen it the week before in the big fancy Imax in London. It’s a great film, funny, fast-paced with lots of references to the rest ofContinue reading “A Week in Life – Long Read”
