Me, My iPod & Tesla Girls

Posted on September 6, 2012

My iPod plays such an integral part in my life that I often wonder how I ever coped without it. I have it on in my car, in my bedroom, when I am in the bath and when I am working at home, in fact I have it on now, keeping me company as I write another post that will have you all rolling around on the floor with laughter as you experience yet another blog  featuring untamed razor sharp wit that knows no boundaries or any knowledge of playing by ...

Sex and Drugs and Rock & Rock “n” Roll

Posted on August 29, 2012

George went to the Reading Festival at the weekend, leaving as a boy and returning as a man with much of what happened on his weekend away rightly remaining information between him and his peers.

The quiz was won handsomely (without cheating) beating two tables of toffs in the process, proving my own theory that members of the educational elite ...

Narrowly Avoiding a Kicking in a Tough Old Town!

Posted on April 9, 2012

I went out on Saturday night with Diane and our friends Pete and Mandy in what turned out to be a really good laugh as we watched a band (whom we knew the members of) playing a pub gig in a strange town in deepest Hampshire. However, it was an evening that could have so easily gone wrong as I teetered on the brink of danger with a local guy who was still seething with pent up anger courtesy of a last minute equaliser scored by Portsmouth against ...
