It’s So Funny, I Don’t Blog About Politics Any More

By

Houses Parliament, Sunset (1903) Claude

I don’t blog about politics any more. Well, not like I used to anyway – I explained my decision in 2024 as to why I was voting Labour, but otherwise I’ve gradually given up on blogging about politics. To be fair, I struggle to get around to blogging much, apart from my roast dinner reviews, of course – which still feature the latest from the morons (and paedophiles) in charge, mostly over the pond. I quite often have blog posts in my head that I could write…but don’t. Even this blog post about not writing blog posts about politics has … Continued

Favourite Things Of 2025

By

Favourite Restaurant Meal This is bloody depressing but my favourite meal in a restaurant, not a roast dinner, in 2025 was a vegan dish at Mildreds. From memory, I think it was beans, potato in a fake chorizo sauce (it did taste like chorizo too) with crispy onions – and other stuff going on. It was very impressive. Great texture too with the crispy onions. Favourite Restaurant Meal on Holiday I feel like I had a lot of average food on holidays this year – especially in places like Santorini. One dish really stands out though, and it was just … Continued

2026 Goals

By

For some reason I like to make my life more complicated, and after complaining about having to write about 46 goals last year, I now have 55 for my 2026 goals. It might feel like micro-managing but there are broader goals – to lose weight, be healthier, expand my knowledge and earnings – and to bloody well enjoy the year ahead. Setting goals does seem to work. And this year I’m attaching them to an actual target, so the percentage achieved will determine where I go for my first solo-holiday of 2027. Only 50%, then northern Europe. But if I … Continued

Review of 2025 Goals

By

Time for my review of 2025 Goals. Hang on…I made how many goals? 46? And I need to write something about each of them? Jeez. Get Fit, Feel Fab Lose 11kg. Well I started well on this, lost around 8kg by the end of my detox. Then I put quite a few kg back on when I did my 3 holidays in 5/6 weeks thing. Then December I just gave up. Overall, I gained 1.5kg, which is pretty fucking depressing. Score of 0%.Do 3 forms of exercise that are not walking. Possibly this is cheating, but I decided that doing … Continued

25 Moments Of 2025

By

It’s time for a round-up of my moments of 2025. As always, most of these relate to my life, most of these are positive, joyous, fun moments – but a few are darker too. Starting with… 25. Millwall Away I hadn’t been to a Hull game all season, we seem to be in a groove where we are never playing at home when I visit Hull, even on Boxing Day. Then my sister suggested that we go to Millwall away, and go around the Millwall pubs with a friend of hers. Millwall? Anyway, he was a proper Millwall geezer, supporting … Continued

James Went To Santorini

By

Gosh not another holiday. But also, gosh not another post to write that nobody will read anyway – this is about my little adventure to Santorini. Well, it was more my sister’s adventure for her birthday, and I tagged along. Santorini is not cheap. Which isn’t what my bank balance needed two weeks after going to Helsinki and Stockholm. But it is sunny. Quite hot and sunny. Which is what I needed after a mostly cloudy and cool holiday – though of course it was also very warm in the UK the weekend I flew out. Why Santorini? I guess … Continued

There Is Such A Thing As Too Many Holidays

By

Too many holidays. This isn’t even a first world problem, is it? It’s something I would have loved to have been able to worry about during the pandemic, or all of those years doing brainless repetitive jobs whilst I worked out what to do with my life. Yet it is something I’ve just experienced. I actually feel done with holidays…granted this feeling won’t last too long. What Happened So I had a great time. 3 great times. Firstly was my holiday to Tallinn, Helsinki and Stockholm at the end of August. Then in the middle of September I went to … Continued

James Went To Stockholm

By

Stockholm was the final part of my road trip without using roads (except Bolts) via Tallinn and then Helsinki. It’s another city that I didn’t do justice to in the two nights that I stayed there, though we had a little more time there in total than we had in Helsinki. Yet unlike Helsinki, I feel like I may need to go back here – there was far too much to cover in just a day and a half. Plus it was coming to the end of an expensive trip, and Sweden is hardly know for being affordable, so I … Continued

James Went To Helsinki

By

So Helsinki was the next stop on the trip after falling in love with Tallinn. We caught the ferry across which took 2.5 hours and was actually rather fun – it had a very 80’s old people kind of vibe, shit decor, country and western bands, loads of pensioners. I was quite amused, especially by being able to watch the sea whilst I pee’d. Though upon arrival at our Airbnb, when we eventually found out which door it was, they had only made one bed out of 3 beds, one bed was also broken – which he told me that … Continued

James Went To Tallinn

By

I’m tallinn you, I had a good time in Tallinn. It was the first stop on my next three city/country tour of Europe, Estonia was a completely new country to me – having never visited a Baltic country. Plus I had an accomplice this time too. I had a feeling that Tallinn would be my favourite city of the trip – spoiler (because nobody is going to read all 3 reviews anyway), it was my favourite city of the trip. I loved how Tallinn mixed modernity, art deco cool with medieval history too. Just how stunning is this building? Yet … Continued
