The reason I watch Eastenders is for episodes like the past week. Sure, the griping, gritty storylines keep me on the edge of the sofa, but it is the comedy value of the soap opera that actually keeps me hooked. Last Tuesday’s episode is a case in point. The introduction of Honey, the so called, […]

Winter nights, for as long as I can remember have meant European football on the TV and eating ice cream. Rather a strange combination, I admit but it has become part of the football fortnight in my household. Champions League is the elite club competition in the world, with some of the greatest players in […]

What a week? For all the fuel crisis (what crisis?) comment, and the dilemma’s of running of diesel and trying to get to work, step over there but please come back. I will make sure there is something interesting here for you to read. I wish I had kept a blog or at least a […]

Have you ever been part of something big? Something so big, that it is bigger than you and the few thousand people around you? I never have and regret it. The long road to redemption, began on Monday morning at 8am. For the first time in over 18 months (perhaps longer) I switched on my […]

Yet again, I find myself at the beginning of a brand new, a fresh slate, another month. April brings with it the sweet taste of summer, just around the corner. As the evenings become lighter, I leave work just in time to catch the sunset on yet another day. British Summer Time has is back […]

You should never underestimate the power of local radio. Before I head into work and am just driving the local roads close to my home, I always listen to Mix 107. I had been feeling down the night before, for various reasons, none which need to see the light of day, on here. Yet, Thursday […]

September is briskly rolling past and at times I feel, constantly a slave to time. The days go by and the nights begin to draw in. Autumn will soon be replaced by winter. I should not really think so far into the future. There is plenty of work to be done before then, and as […]

This morning felt more like dreary September, than the early August. Yet, I battled through the cold rain to get to the my bus stop and get to work on time. There was little disruption to the Chiltern Railways network but colleagues informed me of the difficulties on other parts of the National Rail network. […]

Can you predict the future? I cannot and make no false claims to be able to do so. Let us make that small fact, quite clear from the offset. (It is pure coincidence, that my recent discussion on instant messenger, appears again, in the context of blogging on Diamond Geezer.) However, I can always take […]

‘God Is A Gooner’ read one of banners at Highbury yesterday afternoon as Arsenal went into the history books by going the full Premiership season unbeaten. There has already been the discussion of whether this team deserves the title of greatness. I am not going to give an unbiased opinion here, but let me add […]
