Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me. Last year I had a bit of a miserable birthday – it was a Monday, I felt rubbish, I ate loads of junk food, I didn’t have the best day at work and then I had a really disappointing M&S pie for dinner. So I resolved to […]

2018 Review
Previously if I had spent NYE by myself, I’d be lonely and some shade between melancholic and miserable – this year I’m just tired after a long day at work, and pretty upbeat. I find myself mostly satisfied with 2018 – it has been an exceptionally fun and enjoyable year, one where I have made […]
Complaint: Metropolitan Line Rant
As I type this now, I must admit that the service has been much better this month on the Metropolitan line – or at least I’ve got lucky in terms of avoiding the signal failures. However, one particular journey stands out from 2018 which was such a clusterfuck that I needed answers. Would I get […]
And That Was Christmas 2018
Christmas is over. Normality is returning. Sobriety is around the corner. As usual, I went to Hull to see my parents and some of the extended family, for 5 nights. About 1 night too many for me, about 360 nights too short for my mum. It being time with the family, meant that the television […]
Complaint: Sports Mixtures
Dear Cadbury’s There is an argument at the age of 38 and with several fillings and a few teeth missing, that I should have learnt my lesson and stopped eating sweets. But stuff that. Life is short and I love sugar. And Sports Mixtures are one of my favourite sweets – that and Tangfastics, I […]
Something Must Change
I have had enough. And I am not talking about Brexit. The Metropolitan line has become so bad that I’m getting home close to 8pm. Today, I was on a tube stuck outside Harrow-On-The-Hill, awaiting a platform as both northbound platforms were occupied by other trains. Neither of which apparently had a driver. Fucking brilliant. […]
Complaint: Mouldy Tomatoes
Hey Sainsbury’s, how’s life? We haven’t spoken for a while, which for most people other than my mum, is probably a good thing. Definitely for you, as it means I have something to moan about and then you have to spend time refunding me the half a cucumber or whatever it is that I am […]
The Value Of Your Investments Can Also Go Down
Last year you may recall that I got very excited when I bought some shares, and especially when they went up 10%. They went up and down quite a lot but they were often 10% ahead, which would have been a nice £500 profit. I had invested pretty much all my savings in there, £5,000, […]
27 Places I Have To Visit
I started writing this over 2 years ago…no idea why I never posted it at the time. 3 of the places on the original list I’ve already been to – Bucharest, Vienna and Madrid. It isn’t in any particular order, bar the top 2 which I’d really like to do over the next 2 years…if […]
