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”

Odds and Ends
This week some odds and ends for you. I was speaking to a lovely person over the weekend and during our conversation they reminded me of something amazing I witnessed (along with a lot of other people to be fair) in 2012. Now the Olympics are on! Paris is a awash with sports people fromContinue reading “Odds and Ends”
Live Sport
I love live sport. I set up my calendar so I know when my teams are playing and sometimes work my social life around those sporting events. Now most of ‘my teams’ that I support and follow are English national teams. Soccer (yes I know it’s blasphemy but I support an American football team asContinue reading “Live Sport”
This Week I Feel Different
Inevitably I feel different this week about last week’s election results. There’s all sorts of political punditry breaking it down and telling us all why it’s good for Labour or shit for Labour or well done to this party or completely ignoring the fact that the Greens did well. I don’t know. You can lookContinue reading “This Week I Feel Different”
I’m Tired
And so today I am tired. You’d think that with my political leanings I’d be cock-a-hoop. Or ecstatic. Or absolutely fucking jubilant. Nope just tired. I looked at the results, smirked a little, noted the majority that Labour now has and got on with my day. I was a little happy at all the fuckingContinue reading “I’m Tired”
Summer
Alright here we go… I don’t like the summer. It’s too summery. It’s too hot. I’m too hot and I have hay fever. That’s it, that’s all I’ve got to say. Shortest post ever. A friend described me as being a summer Scrouge. And I suppose I am. I look on all of those thingsContinue reading “Summer”
Proud to be British
I’m proud to be British. I look back on our achievements as a nation and feel a sense of pride that ‘we’ invented that, or fought for that, or lent a helping hand. And I know just about enough history to know that as well as doing some good in the past, we’ve carried outContinue reading “Proud to be British”
Preparing to Vote
Putting my obvious political views aside for this blog post, I’d like to assist in your preparation to vote in the general election. I’m sure most of you will be sorted, but there are some key dates and things that need to be done and if I can help one person get sorted, it willContinue reading “Preparing to Vote”
LFG
LET’S FUCKING GO! The moment I’ve been waiting for, for what seems like twenty years has arrived. Rishi ‘seven bins and don’t worry I won’t make you pay a meat tax’ Sunak has called an election for Thursday 4 July. Independence Day in American parlance. And I can’t wait for us to be independent fromContinue reading “LFG”
The Fall Guy – Film Review
Let me preface this review by informing you that I have never watched the tv show that this film is based upon. Also its co-stars, Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling were in the two biggest movies of 2023, Oppenheimer and Barbie, released fortuitously on the same day, birthing the moniker Barbenheimer, a cultural phenomenon forContinue reading “The Fall Guy – Film Review”
