The tl;dr version: I have some cancer, but it will probably all work out in the end. To expand on that a little…

Stupid rules OK
November 4th, 2018 · No Comments · Life
I may have mastered the art of stupid, but at least I have some competition within the family. After a couple of embarrassing incidents where we had to call our son to come home from work and let us in the house because we forgot to pick up a set of keys when walking the […]
Magic Darts

While watching the European championship darts this weekend I found myself daydreaming about being a darts player, as I often do. I know I would never be good enough to even play in a pub league team, but wouldn’t it be fun coming up with a nickname and choosing walk-on music for the tournaents? I […]

I’m starting to think that maybe I should have bought a new motorbike instead of a used one, because things keep going wrong with it. First of all it was the back tyre losing air a lot, which turned out to be a split in the sidewall. While getting that sorted I had the clutch […]

Mostly cream of tomato, carrot and coriander, leek and potato, parsnip, lentil and bacon and so on. In th supermarket yesterday we were looking in the soup aisle to see what other options […]

Keeping Crawley Open House open
September 2nd, 2018 · Comments Off on Keeping Crawley Open House open · Life, Politics
There was a bit of a shock in the West Sussex county council’s new forward plan when it was published this week. The wording is all quite bland and might not sound like much, but the implications are that several services in the county will not be able to afford to continue, including the Crawley […]
Camel Balls

One good thing I did see in Waterlooville was the sweet shop, which had these in the window.. I really can’t imagine somebody saying to their kids “if you eat all your greens I’ll let you suck some camel balls after dinner”.

Ghost Town

Jayne and I went to Waterlooville today to visit Chas and see how he is settling into married life and see his new house. In some ways it seems like a nice enough place, but it has one of the most depressed and depressing town centres I have ever seen. The population of the town […]

Crocked

It had to happen sooner or later, but I had my first motorbike accident on Sunday. I would like to think it will be my last, but the only way to guarantee that would be to stop riding. Nothing too serious: I didn’t break any bones or wreck the bike.

Born to be mild

I am still persisting with the world’s lamest midlife crisis, which mostly involves spending a ton of cash on motorbike accessories. It is turning out to be an expensive hobby, when you add up the cost of helmets, padded jackets, gloves, boots, chain cleaner and lube, oil, visor cleaner, disc locks, and other sundries.
