Obit

My diary is now fully restored, with notes, so I’m having fun reading my old entries.  I stumbled across this story I wrote and thought it was too good not to share again. Sir Henry Fossingto...

The Rainmaker

I’m rewatching Looper for the first time in ages.  Damn, I love that film.  I just wish Rian Johnson would stop wasting his time playing with Star Wars. I still can’t find the bulbs I need for ...

Don’t panic!

I’m watching the weekly bun fight that is Prime Ministers Questions.  As usual, our esteemed PM isn’t doing a particularly good job. My mums birthday present arrived yesterday. My new memory c...


My diary has finally been restored!  Well, OK, it’s doing the multiple copies of entries thing and there’s no notes on my old entries, but I’m willing to wait and see if that changes before subm...


I’m no longer feeling out of sync with myself.  Whether or not I’ve ever been in sync with the rest of the world, however… I’ve finally got an appointment to get the results of my CT scan.  I m...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

The memory card for my phone is, to put it bluntly, fucked beyond fucked.  My phone won’t recognise it, my tablet will but won’t let me write to it. I was able to copy everything on the memory ...

Strange

I’m feeling, I dunno. Discombobulated? Like I’m marching half a beat out of sync with myself, never mind the rest of the world. And, no, it’s not just because I’m watching the State of the Unio...

Straight Outta Titles

So, it’s half one in the AM, I probably should be asleep.  Instead, I’m watching The Defiant Ones.  Biggest surprise so far?  Dr Dre is a huge Nirvana fan. Speaking of music, it may surprise so...

Ketchup

It’s a bit annoying seeing the thing saying it’ll take up to 24 hours to restore my diary when I started the process 48 hours ago.  I’ve submitted a support ticket. I’m currently catching up on...

Hello, it’s us again

While I wait for my diary to restore, I may as well write a new entry. So, my life is, well, it is.  At the moment, I’m unemployed.  Not because I can’t find work, but because I’m actually unab...

In the final analysis…

Life stuff. I wasn’t made redundant in the end, I’ve been put on a new, better shift pattern. Oh, and I’m sleeping rough for charity again. You can donate here So, this, as it turns out, wil...


My mum just phoned. My gran dies at 4am this morning. She was 93. It’s not much of a surprise. She’d been in hospital since before Christmas and had been on a do not treat list since before ...


This morning, I was called down to HR and informed that I was being made redundant at the end of the month. Then, when I phoned my mum to tell her, she told me that my gran (who is in hospital ...

Got a lot to talk about…

But I’ll wait till I get the news tomorrow that I should have received today. So, I’ll post this piece of feedback I got that I adore: “However, in doing so, I felt I was in danger of “sanitis...


So, here’s the thing folks. For the last six months the plan has been for my mum and dad to go to Gateshead to see in the New Year with my brother and sister in law. She’s due to give birth in...

RIP Nelson Mandela

I really, really want to write something about him, but how? How exactly do you sum up a life like his, with everything he went through, everything he fought for, the massive, seismic changes h...


I’m no longer at risk of redundancy. Even better: I’m invading Edinburgh for four months. There’s an opportunity opened up for a pilot project in Edinburgh for four months. I put my name forw...

Fan-fucking-tastic!

I am at risk of redundancy. Again. And, because of this, I have to postpone my trip to Minneapolis to see Nessa monster :¬( Will

You’re a mean one…

At work each team has been given a film for putting up decorations. My team leader chose for us The Grinch. Somehow, decorating our work area has translated to decorating me. As the Grinch… ...

Oh, hai

So, what’s been going on in my life? Well, not much. Finally have working systems at work and it didn’t take 6 months like the last time! Course, there’s no actual work at the moment, so it d...


The story I mentioned a couple of entries back: To look at it from the outside, it was just an ordinary house. Open the front door, however and it was, TARDIS like, much bigger on the inside. ...


Dear Sir/Madam, I am emailing you to complain about the experience I was put through when visiting your Newport Road, Middlesbrough store yesterday, 05/10/2013. I went into the store to have a...
