Abandoned Package For Pablo Hassan

By

Professional Packaging Systems' Quality Packaging

Dear Sir,  I am contacting you regarding a special cargo that has been abandoned here at our warehouse for over a period of 2 years and when scanned, t revealed an undisclosed sum of money in it. From my findings, the cargo originated from Europe and the content was not declared as money by the consignor in order to avoid diversion by the shipping agent. I strongly believe the box will contain about $4.5 million or more.  In my private search for a reliable person, my proposal now is to present you as the recipient of the cargo since the … Continued

Sainsbury’s Complaint: Pulling Teeth

By

Sainsbury's lorry, Grimmer Road, Hereford

I’m rather quite busy nowadays, especially with my job, commuting and trying to enjoy London, so I don’t always get the time to complain.  I have not only a list of complaints to make, but also a folder of complaints to share on my blog. So I thought I’d be efficient and save up a few for Sainsbury’s, and sent it shortly after they announced their merger with Asda. ****** Dear Sainsburys I am sure that you are currently being overwhelmed with part-time snobs given the proposed merger with Asda, with a flurry of complaints from wannabe Waitrose shoppers that … Continued

Fat, Fat, Fat

By

Free chocolate muffins

I’m feeling down again and guess what has triggered it?  Being fat.  As always. Nothing else really gets me down – things can annoy the fuck out of me like cyclists and Brexit, but nothing actually depresses me like the loss of self-esteem that being fat, and getting fatter does. Earlier this year, I lost, I think 6 or 7kg whilst on my 3 month detox.  I have since put back on 8kg – reaching a new record highest weight, 98.5kg.  Some of it I actually put on before my detox ended with an Easter chocolate binge (2.5kg – because I didn’t lose … Continued

Why Brexit Should Be As Hard & Dirty As Possible, By A Remainer

By

Protestor, Abingdon Street

“I’m a remoaner”, as Destiny’s Child may or may not once have sung.  Yes proud Remainer here – I unequivocally did not want to leave the EU and still do not want to leave the EU. But hey.  It’s happening. I see most of my remainer compadres seem to prefer a soft Brexit, staying in the customs union, staying in the single market, or even the EEA.  Hell, even one or two prominent Brexiteers do too. Sometimes, though, you have to play the long game, like the unaffectionately-known “bastards” of the 1990’s, Redwood et al, who spent 25 years agitating … Continued

James Went To Madrid

By

Gosh was it really 2 weeks ago?  Erm…gosh was it really 4 weeks ago?  That is assuming I actually finish this post tonight.  5 weeks…OK 6 weeks ago.  Definitely finishing it this time. Can I actually remember any of Madrid?  Oh yeah, I went with my family. The Why My father suggested a family holiday a while back, in celebration of his retirement.  I think I was probably 16, maybe 17 when I last went on holiday with my family, and I stated that I would never again go on holiday with my family. Well, I’ve gone back on quite … Continued

Calmness Has Returned

By

Close up of computer coding

I was having a bit of a strop last week – eating loads of shit food, drinking too much wine and being a bit miserable and grumpy.  It happens.  I’m not one of those people that can pretend to be 100% happy all the time, as much as I do appreciate life.  Most of the time, I’m at least content – but I’m pretty demanding upon myself and life – I have high expectations. Though at the core of it was some unhappiness at work.  It was a crap week, a tough week – I was feeling a bit displaced … Continued

Do I Still Enjoy Living In London?

By

It’s only Wednesday evening and I’ve already ditched the vaguely less unhealthy diet (ie less than 3,000 calories a day), and opened a bottle of red wine.  Actually it was already opened – I’m finishing it off. I am questioning things at the moment.  Particularly in terms of where I work and where I live. Why do I live in Harrow?  Am I still happy in my job?  Is the commute worth it?  At what point do I get fed up of being on junior pay?  Am I still a junior developer?  Should I start looking for another job?  Should … Continued

Complaint: Sainsburys Cucumber

By

Cucumber clipart, cute illustration psd

Dear Sir/Madam I still have not worked out the point of cucumber. It tastes of nothing.  It seems to be just water.  It is utterly pointless. Yet I add it to my salad.  Why?  I have no idea.  Just one of the many pointless things I do in my life, like writing letters of complaint over something worth about 55p in the vague hope that I am making someone smile somewhere with my vague attempts at humour. Anyway, I had a cucumber bought from my local Sainsbury’s store the other day.  Other week, actually, I’ve been busy. The sell-buy date … Continued

My Favourite Foreign Cities

By

I wanted to create a list of my favourite cities. I appreciate that it isn’t easy to put them into context – those that I have visited most recently are most likely to be fresh in the memory and hold fond memories closer to hand. Also I have visited the cities with different people and for different reasons – some cities I got to know much better than others. 24. Rome I was only there for a short weekend, and with a couple (the female of which I rather fancied) so maybe this was never going to feature too highly … Continued

Who I’m Voting For In The Local Election 2018, And Why

By

Harrow-on-the-Hill Underground Station

On the off-chance that someone who doesn’t already know me reads this, a little introduction. I am a lifelong Tory.  I have always voted Tory, I am pretty much in love with Margaret Thatcher, I was a great admirer of David Cameron – and I always vote Conservative. More importantly, I am a free-marketeer, I am an economic and social liberal – though I believe in individual responsibility and minimising government spending.  Though occasionally the Conservative Party can make me wince socially – they have proven time and again that they are the only political party that will allow a … Continued
