Spotted this outside one of the windows – very very large marrows being grown in the garden next door. I’ve never seen these in the outdoors.
I rarely watch TV nowadays due to lack of time. However, this afternoon I’ve fired up the Apple TV and also watching some random stuff on Freesat. Well, Minder and The Professionals. However, what bothers me is the ‘Meerkat’ ads. They just really irritate me with their silly put on accents and dumb stories. Why […]
I feel down and bored right now. Not quite sure what it is, but I just feel restless I guess. I’m kicking myself for not getting into the city early and just getting out of my 2 mile radius of life (the trouble of living near work). I just wish I could click my fingers, […]
I’m so tired right now. I just wish I could hibernate. I must admit the bad weather makes things feel a little cosy. I just wish I could sit on the sofa under a blanket drinking hot chocolate whilst watching something good on TV. Then comes the reality check- I’m having to be stuck in […]
I’m sure I blogged about this last year, but I just got the invite to a Fresher’s Debate at University. I now feel old. It’s funny that you still recall things from those days and also how our senses trigger memories. I was in a meeting at one of the Cambridge colleges the other week […]
I had a good chuckle when I saw a link to this on a journey planner: I love the nonsense excuse they make in 1970’s BR speak “Network Rail, who provides the timetable information has introduced a new computer system”. Now we all know that system probably was in development since 1985 and therefore it […]
I realised Friday that it’s been so long since I’ve been properly outside. That sounds like someone who’s been stuck in prison for a while. Well, that’s kind of what it’s felt like I guess. I just feel that I haven’t had good amounts of fresh air for quite a while. As I write this […]
I was thinking of the title ‘Young and the restless’, but realised I’ve probably crossed the threshold now ! Woke up at 2:30 this morning, thinking “I think I’ll go into the city” – unbelievable. I really do need to just sit and rest, but on the other hand I feel as though doing that […]
I read this article on BBC News and it made me almost want to vomit. I’ve never been a fan of wooly left wing liberals. However, I find the whole thing patronising to say the least. It’s the intellectual superiority of it that irritates me- treating people like children as if they didn’t know the […]
There used to be a series of ads around the theme “Carlsberg don’t do ‘x’ but if they did it would be the finest in the world”. Well, one of Apple’s latest products (which is a little different from their normal product offering) has made me realise that there should be a phrase “What if […]
