UK General Election 2015: Why you should for…2. The Labour Party - April 2015 April 14th, 2015

Often, whenever I’ve criticised the Conservatives online, some idiot has responded with ‘Well what about Labour though?’ Usually using far too many capital letters and a lack of understanding that it is possible to be disillusioned by all parties at once. To prove I’m not one to pick sides, and as Labour have finally launched […]

UK General Election 2015: Why you should for…1. The Conservative Party - April 2015 April 6th, 2015

With only a few weeks till the UK general election, I thought it might be useful to do a series of, ahem, partisan blogs explaining exactly why you might want to vote for each party. If you’d like a more sensible view do check out Rick Edwards’ excellent new book ‘None Of The Above‘ which […]

The Battle For Number 10 - March 2015 March 27th, 2015

I watched the ‘Battle For Number 10’ television debate this morning. I’ve recently discovered that if I watch political debate programs while on our exercise bike then I seem to pedal much harder out of sheer frustration for the entire affair. When attempting to fix my life and get healthier for the umpteenth time in […]

Satirically Destitute - February 2015 February 11th, 2015

A new ‘satirical’ television show has been announced today. I won’t mention its name and I haven’t seen it yet, so can’t really judge it as such. However in the selling points for said show, it states that it will feature ‘biting satire’ such as ‘David Cameron and Nick Clegg battling it out on the […]

Globalisation And Other Light Topics - September 2014 September 15th, 2014

Over the last year or two I’ve become overly fond of the odd occasion where my work takes me to some of the smaller towns or villages. The places where it seems that time has slightly stood still, and if you stand and look in certain spots you could be looking at exactly the same scenery […]

Wanted: A Clever But Easily Exploited Person - June 2014 June 6th, 2014

This is less a blog post, and more and advert for assistance. I just thought it was better to put it here rather than in the window of my local shop where less people would see it and chances are super evil Chris Moyles* man from the garage or the man who’s always at the […]

I Vote For Voting - May 2014 May 18th, 2014

I was talking to a chiropractor at a wedding yesterday. Yes I know that’s a lot of info to take in right there but there’s no need for you to have anything other information about the situation than that. Though it should be known that it was a lovely day and my good friend Jacqui […]

Laboured Joke - May 2014 May 7th, 2014

I find it hugely depressing that Labour aren’t top of the public opinion polls by a long stretch in the UK at the moment. I’m not surprised at all. I have no hope in them, or any intention of voting for them at all. But it’s still saddening, because they should be. It’s exactly one year […]

Super Bus Man and The Culture Of Entitlement - April 2014 April 27th, 2014

I have discovered a secret super power. It’s not a particularly good one, or one that’s useful to anyone else but me, but it’s definitely something close to making me an Avenger. Probably. Everytime I walk to our nearest bus stop, the bus I need is either there, or just arriving. It has happened to […]

Well Then! - April 2014 April 22nd, 2014

A long running in-joke between me and my best mate Mat, is in the midst of an argument you are obviously losing to shout ‘Well then!’ very loudly, as to pretend the others very valid point has backed up your losing point. The dealer of the ‘Well then!’ automatically wins on the basis of  the […]
