This picture sums up my eating and drinking patterns, save for the odd day, for the past 4 weeks: Definitely time to diet..

The title sounds like something you’d see in a Daily Mail headline when there isn’t a recent reality TV show scandal, political scandal, or a report on immigration levels. In my case, another total bullshit sign at Cambridge Station: The text at the bottom I find funny, indicating that WARNING signs will be placed around […]

At a busy Central London bus stop today. 2 sisters, around 13 years old, with their mother. One sister looking grumpy at the actions of the other. The mothers words: “Leave your sister alone, she’s PMT’ing” Not only was it said once by mistake, it was repeated several times. Being British, we all didn’t know […]

These ads really do irritate me for a variety of reasons. I hope someone from an Eastern European country complains about them – the PC brigade for once would serve a very useful purpose. Oh, whilst you’re at it, Go Compare is painful as well – please kill off that.

Amazon mailings are useful sometimes, but for the most part I delete them. I think it’s mainly because I buy most of my media digitally nowadays. However, I must confess I never quite expected to see this in my inbox: WTF ? Amazon have a box that you click that says “Not Interested”, I think […]

Decided to head into London today. Got up really early, checked the National Rail Enquiries app on the iPhone: Great ! trains are running. Jumped in the car to the station.

In the car earlier, I happened to switch on to Classic FM, partly because there is a poor reception spot on the M11 where Classic FM seems to be one of the few channels that works well. I think it maybe down to […]

I’ve been craving beef sandwiches for some time. 2 recent experiences to help satisfy the cravings: Automat, London I like this place. It’s in the style of an American diner. I always usually have the brisket sandwich, washed down with a beer (Sol in this case): T-Junction, Ipswich The concept is sheer genius. Satisfy the […]

The weather has been cold over the past week. I say cold, as opposed to frozen, as it isn’t actually that cold. There’s no wind chill, and until recently no snow on the ground to create a fridge style atmosphere. It never fails to amaze me how the country shuts down, but that’s another posting. […]

Cambridge is awful for food shopping. Given that Cambridge could be given the title ‘chain capital of the world’, it’s no surprise that there is a lack of small quality food shops. Okay, you could go to Mill Road, but that’s a total nightmare when it comes to getting there as there’s no easy parking […]
