It’s late at night, after a very long and tiring day, and yet somehow I find myself browsing the internet randomly, and watching You Tube, and generally lazing about. This, despite being utterly knackered. But I’ve come across this, and I thought I would share it: it is a story about a deer, which decided [...]

Today was very much an American football day. For the third year running, it was NFL at Wembley , and my second in a row. When you are watching the Patriots, you know it is going to be a fantastic display of football, but they were also playing the Buccaneers, who, quite frankly, are terrible. [...]

I think it is about time I write a little about my work, and about my office. It’s only fair really, considering I had the cheek to moan about it a few weeks back; about the moving around, about the cleaning up, and the updating. I wrote about how I hoped it would be nicer, [...]

Like last week, this Saturday became a general news browsing day, because I completely forgot to browse the net on Friday. Nevertheless, this has been proved to be quite fortuitous, because there are a number of interesting stories in the news today that I might have missed otherwise. For two very different reasons, they are [...]

My friend wants to claim whiplash insurance compensation before the weekend. Or, at the very least, the start of next week. He phoned me earlier today to explain the situation, and essentially it sounds as though someone drove into the back of his car at the traffic lights in town. He was simply slowing to [...]

It was announced earlier in the month that Michael Crabtree has signed with the 49ers, after the longest holdout I can ever remember by a first round draft pick. Now, word around the web is that he could well be starting in their upcoming game against the Houston Texans.
Perhaps this doesn’t come as surprising [...]

It was still dark this morning, when I was woken up by my dog tap-tapping on the door. So early was it, that I was actually up and awake before the rest of the house, which is becoming a bit of a rarity at the moment.
I can never get back to sleep when I [...]

Recently, Thorpe Park (which, for those of you not in the UK, is one of the bigger theme parks we have here) has been home to some apparent spookiness. According to this piece, some spirits from an alternate dimension have been unleashed. Frightening stuff.
I must admit that my initial thoughts were sceptical thoughts. Do people [...]

Each week, I enjoy browsing through the news online; it’s quick, fairly simple, and very easy to see lots of things in a short space of time. Friday is usually my favourite day to do it, because you can check back through the week on everything that happened. But this Friday I ended up heading [...]

I have not had the best of days today, and it was made worse by a phone call I’ve just had from BT. Let me just say that it really annoys me when you get called by your service provider about deals and offers. When I was at uni, it was Virgin – they called [...]
