I am not a big fan of hot weather as such. Unlike some people that I have known I do believe that it can be too hot: we have all known somebody who would return from holdays and insist that their holiday was better because it was 45 degrees while yours was ‘only’ 30 degrees [...]

Gratuitous holiday snaps
March 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
Just for the sake of it, here are a few holiday snaps from last month.  I took something like 350 photos during the week on the new camera. There were also about 100 pictures on the old compact before Charlie managed to lose it. About 150 of them are up on Flickr now. I can [...]
Flying
March 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
Last week’s holiday was the first time I flew anywhere since February 2004, which means the first time since all the new security restrictions were imposed. I had forgotten just what a joyless experience flying has become now.
Half-term holidays
February 23rd, 2009 · 5 Comments · Life
The absence of any new waffle here lately is because we have been away for half-term, spending a week in Tunisia. Quite exciting really because it was the first family holiday abroad for about six years I think and the first time I had been on a plane at all since going to Amsterdam exactly [...]

The longest day
January 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Work
Isn’t the first day back at work after Christmas horrible?  You reach that mid-morning point where you really need a coffee and then realise that for the last week you wouldn’t have even been up by that time. This year is even worse since we are all going back on a Monday and therefore have [...]

Sailing On The Seven Seas
October 26th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Politics
I have been to Corfu on holiday a total of four times. I would happily go back again, in fact Jayne and I have thought it would be a decent place to retire to. Here is a little secret about the place that I will happily pass on to the likes of Osborne and Mandelson: [...]
Holidays In The Sun
August 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Life
Carlsberg don’t do holidays, but if they did… they wouldn’t let me anywhere near them!  The rest of the family are convinced I am jinxed when it comes to weather and holidays. They have gone off with the tent in the past, spending a few days away during school holidays while I am at work, [...]
School’s Out
July 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Work
School holidays started this week. There is something depressing about continuing to go into work every day when the Mrs. keeps reminding you how she is off for the next five-and-a-half weeks. It would help if she didn’t keep rubbing it in so much. It was already bad enough being there while everyone else in [...]

Paris
June 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Jane
This looks like graffiti artists are much more advanced in Paris than they are round here. I love walking around a city, turning a corner and finding something like this. It makes all those times I get lost worth it.
Have you heard of the categorisation of political activists into...
