Strange lands and stranger people
Published on 2010-07-14 14:25:14
I am writing this from the west coast of America, I am on holiday and I am in a land where the people frighten me. The whole holiday experience is a bizarre one. It starts with the airport – ‘has anyone packed anything without your knowledge’ – what am I meant to be, clairvoyant? The [...]
What is worse than work?
Published on 2010-01-26 07:10:37
I really don’t like work. In fact I would rather anything than work. I don’t understand those people who seem to live for work. They set their first alarm at 4.43. It is never enough for us to have one alarm. One alarm does not seem to do the trick. Instead we operate a 3 [...]
How to end a date…

How are you supposed to end a date that is going horribly? May 4th, 2002, Rita Watkins. It was a day that defined me. It was such an important event in my life. May 4th, 2002, I realised that my life could never get any worse. I had hit rock bottom. No matter what went [...]
Just desserts

It’s Tuesday, It’s 8PM – i should be watching Taggart. Instead, I am in Pizza Express – decking bottles of Peroni, waiting for a girl called Charmaine. The reason I am decking drink is mainly because her name is Charmaine. I met Charmaine in a club. We barely spoke; instead we played tonsil tennis for [...]
The long, too long, goodbye.

I don’t understand the dramatic production that is the staff leaving do, especially if I don’t know the person. Gary left us on Friday. A sad day, for Gary. For me, just a frustrating day. It started on the Tuesday; ‘Matt are you ok to pick up Gary’s leaving card and present?’ I could not [...]
The Blood Test
Published on 2009-10-29 15:40:41
The doctor has phoned me, he wants me to go and get a blood test to see if I can be safely given this new jab to prevent some unknown disease. I hate blood tests, I dislike waiting for things and I don’t particularly enjoy meeting strangers (weirdo’s) which you inevitably do do in the [...]
Shy Kidneys

You will be pleased to know that Laura and I battle on, we watched Blade 3 and it did not disappoint. Was I happy we were still on track? Of Course. I was, I really was, but I wish we had stayed ‘separated’ for just a week or two longer. Not for any sinister reason [...]
The Game

Having a girlfriend, or dare I dream – a wife, can be a wonderful thing. It can be full of fun, new adventures and excitement. There are real meaningful advantages too; you don’t have to worry about your hair getting out of control, you can delay shaving and you can get fat. I enjoy being [...]
Lift etiquette
Published on 2009-10-06 15:37:18
I hate lifts. I don’t like the feeling of being trapped, I don’t like the fact they stop at every floor but what I really don’t like is when there are people in them, people who do not understand basic lift etiquette. Lift etiquette should be taught at school. It is a fundamental of life. [...]
The pop-in..
Published on 2009-09-25 05:03:58
So I am back to writing about more weird and wonderful things – I have left the deep stuff behind and getting back to the heart of the blog. As you are all aware I work for a large company and therefore most of my time is taken up by dealing with fellow staff’s queries [...]
