Friday was the 30th anniversary of the release of one of my all time favourite albums, Nevermind by Nirvana.  I remember when I first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit.  I was a rock fan but, of cou...

Full pic: My parents were down here at the weekend. Now, normally, they would spend most of their time in Gateshead and come through to Middlesbrough for a day.  This time, they decided to s...

Friday: I got the train and went to Leeds.  I was worried about how long it would take me to find the hotel.  Turns out I didn’t need to, it was about 10 minutes from the train station.  I chec...

Still no TV.  The plan was to put up a temporary mast and have services restored yesterday, but there’s been a legal problem getting access to the site, so it never happened. Not that it was mu...

Full pic: My uncle George died on Wednesday.  He was working on a church roof when the scaffolding collapsed.  He was pronounced dead on the scene.  An inquiry is going to start tomorrow. He...

Full pic: Most people will know the band on the left, Sleepy Gene at least will recognise the band on the right. Still no telly.  Here’s the story: on Tuesday afternoon, lightning hit the tr...

Full pic: I have no telly at the moment.  I haven’t been burgled, it hasn’t broken, the transmitter that serves my area was hit by lightning this afternoon and there was a fire.  It’s finally...

Literally. Just a warning, this will be a bit pic heavy. I got myself a new slow cooker.  I kinda had to, the other one didn’t cook things properly.  The new one is electronic and it has a hin...

I’m not saying that it’s too bloody hot in Middlesbrough, but… My coconut oil melted in the cupboard. I got the new gas card for my smart meter.  The one that hasn’t been installed yet.  I’l...

I was supposed to get a smart gas meter fitted today, so I was up early.  The guy turned up, took photos, went outside then came back and said he couldn’t fit it because there’s something he nee...

I just removed a bunch of programs from my computer.  It’s been extremely sluggish, so hopefully this’ll make a difference.  Certainly seems to have so far. I was also having a problem with my ...

Full image: I phoned my dad last week for Fathers Day.  Normally, my dad would thank me for the card and present, we’d chat briefly then he’d put mum on the phone.  This time, however, he did...

I went to get my second jab yesterday.  It was up at the Riverside, so I decided I would also order the new Boro top click and collect so I could avoid delivery charges and having to male the tr...

The picture makes sense if you know anything about England fans and pundits, international tournaments and a song. My friend wasn’t able to meet me down the pub and by the time he told me that ...

Full pic: Yesterday, the Scotland men’s national team had their first game in an international tournament since 1998.  How did we do?  Well, I kinda wish we hadn’t bothered qualify after that...

I met up with Nikki and Kev on Saturday for a drink. It was supposed to be just me and Nikki, but Kev decided he was coming along as well. Which wasn’t a problem. It was fun. Me and Kev got dr...

Full pic: As you might guess from the title, I’m finally getting round to watching Line of Duty. Saturday night was Eurovision night!  This bit is going to include videos, but none from the ...

The colour run remover arrived today.  I bought two packs, so have used both, though not at the same time.  My t shirt is pretty much lost, it’s now light blue not white (but, thankfully, an eve...

I is an idiot.  Last night I did a wash and threw in a t shirt I was certain had been washed enough.  It wasn’t.  So, now my brand new Sami Zayne t shirt is blue, not white and my two lovely san...

Full pic: My internet issues got sorted.  Until it wasn’t.  Then it was.  Then it wasn’t.  Seems to be fine now but, of course, it cut out when I was watching the Stanley Odd livestream.  Rig...
