Academy-ically Challenged
This morning, at about 9.40am, I walked onstage in front of about 200 Year 7 students and told them some jokes. It wasn’t an ideal time of day for either comedy to happen, or my brain to function. On top of this I had to follow a group of Year 10 students dancing to ‘What […]

This afternoon I watched as a man in a car nearly reversed over a woman crossing the road. This is not an irregular occurance as I find, ever turning into my dad, that people are increasingly shit at driving. I seem to remember the test to get your licence involving a computer game that didn’t […]
Read moreVery Blue Monday
Today is, according to an energy drinks company, Blue Monday. Usually, thanks to Sky Travel creating the notion of the most depressing day of the year, its a few weeks from now when the faded memories of Christmas combine with the stark misery of January, but this year, it’s earlier. It could be that Upbeat […]

I’ve just watched episodes one and two of season 5 of Community. If you aren’t aware of this program its probably because its not really been aired on any major UK TV channel, but it is, or at least was, one of the very best sitcoms of the last decade. Seasons one to three were […]

If you got to this blog via Twitter, you’ll know quite how often I use it. Like some sort of horrible addict I genuinely fret when I have nothing to contribute on there, even if I haven’t got anything to say or my life has been exceptionally dull. There’s a lot I could write about […]

The weather outside is horrific. I can say that from my very safe observational post of our front room where I’ve spent most of today watching people clutching their hoods and being blown down the street. One of the few joys of this ‘end of days’ style weather is that no one is able to […]

It’s been something we’ve all been thinking for a while in the UK. Well it’s definitely been bothering me anyway. Just how, oh how, will we ever punish all those immortals, vampires and demi-gods for whom our ‘life sentences’ are just a bit of a joke? Up until now they’ve been killing here, there and […]

So that’s it. 2014 is here and with it tons of predictions, hopes, fears and general pondering on what this year may bring, all while reflecting on the last 365 days of happenings. What went wrong, what went right, who died, who nearly died, why oh why isn’t Jeremy Clarkson dead etc etc. I’m very […]

I’m not a fan of new year’s resolutions but I’ve scolded myself on many occasion in 2013 for having blog type thoughts in my head and not confined them to the internet. There are far too many thoughts on the internet already and if anything, I repeatedly complain that we are now in a world […]
