On the first day of my holidays, we were driving down the Bath Road and I spotted a bright white Seat Ibiza ahead of us with an interesting badge. I very much doubt this vehicle was packing a Nitrous Oxide system but then again, this is Slough. Anything is possible!
American Muscle
Spotted this brand new Dodge Challenger parked up in Nicholsons Shopping Centre, Maidenhead this afternoon and just had to take a few photographs, just before the owner turned up to drive home. I believe he had just visited the David Lloyd gym. Now as much as I would love to own a beast of a […]
The Social Network
When you meet people sometimes you just know. You know they are bound for greater things in life. A case in point is my ex-colleague Rob Graham. At my first interview at CA (way back in May 2013), I could tell this guy had that extra spark, that magic dust, and if I may be […]
Doctor Hollywood
The saying is often repeated, do not meet your heroes, for they will always let you down. They will never live up to the high expectations you had in your mind. In modern times, with platforms such as Twitter, our celebrity and sporting heroes are only a short 140 character message away. This is not […]
Back In Time
Unsure exactly when but at some point in the past decade I stopped wearing a watch. Sure, I still wear a watch on special occasions but in the office, I could rely solely upon my smartphone. Once you are in a routine, there is little need for a watch, the time is on your computer […]
Childhood Memories
This week I was described as an expert in pop culture. While to a certain extent, I agree I try my best to keep my finger on the pulse, many things pass even me by. Although much of this is due to the fact of getting old and caring less. One of the many developments […]
Experimenting
As you may have noticed, decided to install a new theme onto my WordPress site this Sunday afternoon and have spent the last few hours, tinkering with the colours, formats and layout to try and achieve my goal. Ultimately if somebody has taken the time to find my personal blog, they need to be able […]
Unmasking DG
Been a daily reader of the fantastic Diamond Geezer blog for over a decade. I stumbled on the daily East London-based diary from a link on ArseBlog way back in February 2003 and discovered he was doing a Count. Based on the famous Seasme Street character – Count von Count. I have the utmost respect […]
Silly Season
August is a strange month of the year. With the height of holiday season, work takes on a dramatically different outlook. Many people are on holiday and countries around Europe effectively shut down for a minimum of two weeks, majority for the entire month. The office becomes a ghost town, with many people away, particularly […]
Size Everything Is Not
Few people will admit to singing along to music in the car. Far fewer will decide to share this on a public forum to a potential global audience. As you have probably guessed by now, I am not like other guys! Although my commute is now a mere four miles, that gives little time to […]
