I hate loosing things. In fact, it drives me crazy. It could be something like a pen (actually I have 2 pens that I bought a few years ago and paid a fairly large sum for, based on the premise that I’d take care of them), or usually a bit of paperwork. This morning I […]
Pub conversation a few weeks ago I mentioned I’d never eaten a Fray Bentos steak pie before. I think we go onto the topic when I was recalling a funny sketch in the office when someone is asked who is the president of Cuba, and David Brent replies “Fray Bentos” instead of Fidel Castro ! […]
First was burgers with the BBQ just outside the garage, now it’s parked in the back garden. Lamb cutlets, peppers and mushroom. And yes, I know it’s a little burnt:
Bring out a 64GB iPhone, please, please. This messing around trying to take things out of my playlists every time is getting to be a pain.
I bought this gadget last week. It’s called ‘fitbit’ and it’s a small device that you clip on to your clothes that measures how many steps that you walk etc. Of course I haven’t actually used it yet, although it is set up waiting for the next time I actually get out of the chair […]

I’m usually an aisle person, but on this last San Francisco journey I ended up having window seats. I like the ability to select my seat in advance with Virgin, but I hate the system that stops you from doing so once 60% of the seats are allocated. Anyways, the benefit of a window seat […]
I think this sums up UK infrastructure. Here’s the exit (and entrance) for a tube line at Paddington Station (rail station where the express train to Heathrow airport goes from): A complete and utter bottleneck..
I’m down, in fact I’m really down. Partly it’s down to being really tired (I can hardly keep my eyes open), but also right now everything seems total shit. Life is too complicated and things are taking a direction I really don’t want. I crave simplicity, I wish I could just be on a desert […]
Lots of upcoming travel. I’ve realised I’m not going to be in the UK much over the next few months. Still, should keep the stress level down, save for the times having to travel through UK airports. The Virgin flight has changed to 2hrs later now (much better than 2hrs earlier once which was a […]
