Another weekend, another early start. I had planned to catch the non stop train to London Marylebone just before 9am. I got to the station with a good ten minutes before the train arrived. The train was packed, but we had been warned over the tannoy a few minutes before the train pulled up to […]
Friday 8th September 2006
You must be bored with the line I always spin on a Friday. Sure, there are millions of people around the world that must be relieved when the weekend finally lands and what makes me so special and different? Nothing. I just like to use, my favourite day of the week to look back on […]
Saturday 2nd September 2006
My favourite month of the year lands and with it some exciting weekends. This weekend is just a warm up for next weekend, when I am reunited with my best friends Dave after a period of over three years apart. The last time I saw him in fact was at his wedding day. More discussion […]

Pav’s house parties are the stuff of urban legend. I was told about the last one from 2004 via MSN and a thread on his forum. Pictures of the fire engine, rising smoke and empty petrol can were all shocking. He had planned a party in early September last year but the only person who […]
Friday 11th August 2006
There is an old marketing cliche, perhaps from the Max Clifford school of making a quick buck. There is no such thing as bad publicity. Seeing High Wycombe plastered all over the news yesterday was a shock. Perhaps my decision to shut out all news media in the mornings prior to arriving at my desk, […]
Sunday 6th August 2006
August already? The year is rushing by and I have quite a backlog of events to write about. I wish I could slow things down or just have more time to make sure everything is covered. I suppose, I should mention my failure to get tickets for Arsenal’s opening fixture at Emirates. A limited selection […]
Sunday 23rd July 2006
Part two of the lads weekend, started badly. I woke up much later than I planned and entered up rushing around in the my room, ignoring a missed call from Chris, jumping in the shower and rushing to the train station. Not a good start, not a good start at all. After purchasing my tickets […]
Friday 21st July 2006
We finally made it, even though there were doubts late into the working day. Okay it was much quieter than I expected but dealing with an issue right up to the wire, is the never the best way to end the working week. Thankfully my colleague (the only other person in the office with me […]

Superman is easily my favourite superhero. Perhaps because I saw the original movies at the right age to truly be engrossed by the Man of Steel. Even after seeing Superman Returns this evening at the Vue in Reading, I still would put Superman II as my all time favourite from the franchise, but only just. […]

Doctor Jones, I need some help! I am addicted, well and truly. Is there no cure? I am surprised it did not happen to me a few years ago, but on Tuesday evening I started searching for various movies on YouTube and spent the rest of the evening adding personal favourites to my play list. […]
