January is the month to go and see critically acclaimed movies. Two years ago I went to see Slimdog Millionaire, tonight, I went to see The King’s Speech. If I am honest, this movie may have passed me by, if it was not for Michelle insisting I book tickets for us to catch a screening. […]
Reality Bites
One of my favourite colleagues from the last job and one, told me that I should always be grateful. Grateful that is, for those few days off in the period I call Twixmas. (The period we found ourselves in at the moment, the time after Christmas and before the New Year when you lose track […]
That Very Familiar Feeling
When do you know Christmas has finally arrived? For many years, it would be the Coca-Cola television spot, with the big US trucks (Holidays Are Coming). This year, it was as I drove home on Monday evening. I was joining the A419 southbound to join the M4 at Junction 15. I was listening to BBC […]
Where did 2010 go?
Take On Me?
Went to Wembley Arena tonight to see a-ha perform the last UK leg of their world tour. More than this, it was also their last performance as a group on these shores. A few more dates remain in Norway next month and then a-ha will be no more. I last saw them perform, almost exactly […]
Only 8,760 Hours
Stop the clock, there are now just a mere 31, 536, 000 seconds left of my twenties. The big 30 is fast approaching and there is very little I can do stop this collision course. I just guess I have to hang on and enjoy the ride!
Coming Out As A Gleek?
I have been watching Glee since it was recommended to me by my girlfriend’s friend Shabana (who over the past year and a bit has actually become my BBF, even if she is not great at answering her phone!) back in late October last year. I watched the first series religiously but was rather disappointed […]
Bulk Buy Bye
I got back into the car at precisely 10:59am. I put on the radio and wondered why there was silence broadcasting on the wireless. (I was tuned into KISS for the record!) As it clicked over to 11am, the penny dropped. It was Remembrance Sunday and the moment the nation comes together to remember those […]
Back In The Saddle
Back in the gym this evening after a ten day break. The reason for this long absence, is two fold. Firstly I was quite ill last week Monday to Wednesday and then by the time I had recovered, I was off for my weekend away in North Wales. There was little chance of me going […]
Duty Calls (Once Again)
For various reasons, I left for Wrexham as the clocked ticked rapidly towards 7pm. I should have been in the Welsh town already, if I had left work at 4pm, as I had originally planned, when I booked Guy Fawkes Night as holiday. Instead, I had just joined the A40, leaving Uxbridge and had an […]
