As I briefly touched on in yesterday’s blog, I’ve been playing a fair bit of Crackdown 2 recently. In my week’s holiday (yes I know I had a fortnight off but I didn’t play any games in that first week as it was mostly a ‘sorting wedding stuff out’ week.) I’ve racked up over 20 [...]

And so my two-week holiday came to an end. I’m back at work on Monday after two weeks off and I’m actually relived to be going back.

These last two weeks have absolutely flown by, and both myself and Gill have finally got some stuff done; we booked a honeymoon, got a new oven, did [...]

Big Brother, man – what’s happened to it? It used to be about 12 people who entered the house and didn’t leave until they were evicted, who didn’t come into human contact other than their housemates until they were told to go, who didn’t run about in the camera-runs for a ‘laugh’, but now?

For years now I’ve almost subconsciously [...]

This morning I accomplished something that made me feel like a proper man, or more accurately – my dad.

Earlier this year I talked about that time go to in my local chippy and say “the usual, mate” and about how driving to the chip-shop on a Friday evening made me feel like such a [...]

There’s a lovely smell in our house at the moment, and it’s a smell we haven’t had the pleasure of smelling for quite some time now. It’s a familiar whiff, but as we’ve been without an oven for just over a month now, we haven’t had that lovely air of home cooking woofting (yes, that’s [...]

So I’ve been getting these headaches for a while now, and I think, finally, we may have found the root cause of the problem. A while back I thought it just might be me being a lightweight; I’d have two bottles of beer and wake up with a banging head. I thought it was just [...]
