I don't normally do politics here. But I couldn't resist linking to this post on one of the blogs I keep an eye on. Completely spot on I would say. Here endeth the lesson. Normal service will be resumed shortly with another amusing story of my life and times.

Give up your day job
Good to see that the mighty England Cricket team have started their Ashes tour as they mean to go on. For those who aren't aware, here is the BBC Sport report on the first match of the tour. Which we lost to what looks like a saturday afternoon side. Only two weeks to the first …
Couldn't find a reason
Another weekend with the delightful Lewis family. Julia was convinced that I would acquire lots of material that I could share via this web page. Well, perhaps, but I think I will wait until the girls are a little older. Its much more embarrassing to be reminded of these kind of shenanigans when you have …
What's true for you ain't true for me
Today, I as been mostly listening to James and Coldplay. They go remarkably well together, like a pair of old slippers. Marvellous. We are off to Poynings for the weekend to play with small children. With a bit of luck we return to sanity on Sunday night. Just join me in a silent prayer that …

Don't take no notice what the man said

Even though I’m a city boy
This morning, on the Danny Baker show, one of the phone in topics was people who aren’t very adventurous with food. Amy from Catford phoned in and mentioned that her sister was a life long vegetarian who didn’t like vegetables. For the curious apparently she exists on Marmite and pasta, in the same dish. I …
Cold Heart of Stone
Cold, so cold. I’m off to buy some more jumpers. That is all.
More Birthday Delights
Courtesy of the lovely people at Yahoo! I discover that I share my birthday with such luminaries as; Michelle Trachtenberg, Dawn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer who is 17 today. Jane Krakowski, who played Elaine in the worst TV show in the world was born on exactly the same day as me. Luke Perry, who …
