I find it pathetic that they need a sign like this. I have lager.  I have Scotch.  Single malt.  Finally getting round to trying the whisky glass and the whisky stone I got at Christmas.  It’s ...

I have some thinking to do. I had an appointment with the guy who has set me up with the placement.  He said that’s still going forward and the council will be in touch with me. But then he to...

Three years ago yesterday, I spent some time at an unmanned train station with a chicken. Went to see Endgame on Saturday.  Wow.  Amazing.  I absolutely loved it.  Monday I watched the latest G...

I wasn’t planning to write again until after I’d watched this weeks Game of Thrones.  But, having just spoken to my mum, I have to rant about my brother, my sister in law and just how fucking fu...

Happy little lava lamp! The entry title is a quote from the film The Crow. I just picked up the graphic novel, so it’s on my mind. I’m currently re-watching Infinity War to prepare to go see E...

Did you know that “Ahoy hoy” is how Alexander Graham Bell thought everyone should answer the phone?  Now, of course, the only person who really does is Mr Burns on The Simpsons. Thursday was a ...

I just got an email from the ex. Seems her life is going so damn well, she had to email me instead of living it. Will

Game of Thrones tonight!  Can’t wait.  Also, finally got a release date for the new season of Veronica Mars. Gutted about Notre-Dame.  After everything it survived, all that history gone. Foun...

---

So, something I forgot in my last entry about the insanity that is Brexit. The length of the delay in leaving the EU means that we have to hold elections for the EU parliament.  This is what Ma...

---

Yup, it’s another Brexit entry. So, last Thursday, the Cooper – Bowles bill went to the Lords.  There was a lot of filibustering.  This led to a lot of cloture (I.E. shut the fuck up) motions. ...

Got my new glasses today, so here’s the obligatory pic.  Before anyone say sit, no I will not smile. Forgot to mention last weekend, but I’ve been put forward for a work experience thing throug...

Monday was the second round of indicative votes. This time, the motions up for debate and vote were customs union, common market, second referendum whatever happens and one guaranteeing parliame...

So, I did try cooking something new last week.  I cooked steak.  T’wasn’t bad, but I needed a bit of tweaking so it’s medium rare, not medium. I had a look through the slow cooker recipe book I...

---

We now know what is going to be voted on tomorrow. There’s a fair bit to explain here. what is commonly known as the Working Agreement is actually two documents.  There’s the WA itself.  This ...

---

Tomorrow, there will be a vote on something related to Brexit.  No-one knows exactly what that is. The Government don’t even know what the vote is on.  They’ve admitted as such. This is where ...

---

Yup, it’s another Brexit entry. On Monday, Westminster had another Brexit vote.  This one was a neutral motion.  Which means it has no actual impact except to say “This has happened”. This, ho...

---

Quick Brexit update: we’re saved.  Uri Geller (yes, he of spoon bending fame) is going to prevent it from happening telepathically.  And that’s nowhere near the strangest story Brexit has given ...

---

when I last talked on this subject, Parliament had decided they did not want the Working Agreement but neither did they want us to leave the EU with no deal.  Theresa May was going to try a thir...

---

My all time favourite headline. My culinary quest continues.  Tonight, I’m making chicken tikka masala, using a kit that comes with the spices instead of just a jar of sauce.  Tomorrow is slow ...

Picture is the latest in my journey to try cooking new stuff.  Beef and tomato casserole.  T’was nice. At 23:00 on the 29th of March this year, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern ...

The pic is the Thai green curry I talked about in my last entry.  Not going to make it again, mostly because I don’t, as it turns out, like it. Got woken up today by an alert on my phone.  It w...

---

In my quest to cook different stuff in my slow cooker, I decided today to make venison sausage cassoulet.  I copied the list of ingredients on my phone and headed into town. Problem is, there’s...

So, my Oscar predictions didn’t go as well this year as last.  Ahhhh, well.  Delighted for Olivia Coleman (and her speech was great.) So, yeah, books.  I signed up for a book gifting thing thro...

---

Featuring a picture of my nephew, Oscar. So, these are my predictions for the Oscars in every category where I saw every nominee.  As last year, I’m going to say what I think should win and wha...

---

No cover pic.  Few words.  Lets go with very short reviews of more Oscar nominated films. BlakKklansman: one of those films that, if you pitched it as a work of fiction you’d be told it’s not r...
