So after a tough week at work, we were rewarded with a staff BBQ at one of the other college campuses. In these trying financial times, I think we can all agree that the gift of an overdone sausage and boiled hamburger really are the only rewards worth receiving. To be fair to them, the [...]

Well I’ve had an interesting day.

Leaving the hot and stuffy office for just one day, I was sent sent around Yorkshire to get learners [who we work with] to sign some paperwork that needed signing. The paperwork needed signing today, so there was no choice but to drive around Yorkshire until I got every [...]

The Edinburgh Fringe festival is now just four weeks away, and I’m very, very excited.

Gill and I have just bought our tickets, and now it finally feels real again. I say again, because this is our second time at the Fringe. Before last year I had wanted to go since forever.

Every year my [...]

The trouble with writing a blog and telling everyone you know about it is that sometimes, just sometimes, those people read it. This means that I’m having to censor even this, just in case certain people read it, and take offense or something.

Now I’m not going to use this not-yet-nominated-for-an-award-but-I’m-hoping-that-that’ll-change-soon blog as a medium [...]

As is pretty much tradition now, I came back from Porto with gifts for Gill. Now I’m a generous guy, SURE, but for me, presents bought on holiday shouldn’t be about expensive designer clothing or something like that.

Because you can buy that sort of stuff here in the UK. No, for me they’ve got [...]

I’m now back in the UK after our stag-do weekend in Porto and I’m predictably very tired. We didn’t get in until 5:30am this morning, then we had to get up at 10 to get ready for check-out at 11am. Knackered isn’t the word.

It was all very worth it though; we all drank far too [...]

Can I just start by saying I’m very sorry for yesterday’s blog. I was a little bit inebriated, and structurally it was all over the place. I’m sorry. So very sorry.

Oh, and today’s might be of a similar quality, so there’s that as well.

Last night was fun, although it did take us a good [...]

I’m now officially posting this bad-boy from Porto, in sunny Portugal. It’s a bit overcast right Noe, but still really hot. Probably about as hot as it was in Leeds last Wednesday, Yorkshire peeps.

Our flight was due to leave at midday which meant the nine of us had to meet up in Bognor Regis [...]

So here I am. In Bognor Regis the night before we set off for my mate’s stag-do tomorrow morning. I can’t wait, although I’m a little concerned it might be too hot for me. I can’t reveal where we’re going yet, just in case Pete is reading this (although between you and me, I think [...]
