Hope Amongst Despondency

By

I’m blogging after a couple of beers.  Not always the best idea and I don’t really know what the blog is about or how to structure it.  Well, I know a couple of things that I want to say. I try not to drink on a school night as it tends to disturb my sleep pattern.  There is definitely a correlation between having a couple of beers and taking 3-6 hours to go to sleep.  Not to mention the sausage and bacon sandwich along with the red bull in the morning, not quite conducive to my attempted healthy living. The … Continued

Maggie’s Corner

By

I can sometimes see the look that Maggie gives me.  Not sexual but of disdain.  Almost as if I were a socialist. I worried that we were going to have a serious falling out a while back and then realised that clearly it was her surroundings that was making her unhappy – not me. So I undertook a project after only 8 months of living in Bracknell to unpack the remaining boxes – of which there were many.  Mostly consisting solely of CDs. I love my music, you may have guessed, so who better than Maggie, to protect them than … Continued

Complaint: Heel Gone

By

rusty broken car without wheels

From last October ************** Dear Office I bought these shoes just two months ago, and today I was walking to work and the right heel flipped up and disappeared into a black hole. I then had to walk the remainder of the dangerous journey through the Bracknell industrial estate where I work, with just one heel. Not for the first time in my life, I had a wonky walk. It was at this point that I was glad I was a man and not a woman. Don’t get me wrong, I love women – Margaret Thatcher, Las Ketchup girls (any … Continued

Complaint: Lost Wickets & Short-Dated Chicken

By

action packed cricket match on sunny day

From last year… ***** Hi Sainsbury’s I note that you haven’t responded to my first complaint, dated 31/10/2015 about the recent quality of your fruit and vegetables.  This is concerning. I did however send it to customer.service@sainsburys.co.uk so I am sending my second complaint here. I have told you time and again that when I make my food order, I need the chicken I order to last all week, as I have salad for lunch. Imagine my disappointment this morning, when I see that England have already lost 4 wickets, and my chicken has gone off.  This means I now … Continued

Complaint: Waitrose Minibus

By

Waitrose gave one of the most disappointing complaint responses ever last year…granted I wasn’t at my most imaginative.  I was just pissed off. Although my suit was imaginary. ***** Dear Sir I was walking through your Bracknell business park earlier this evening and the Waitrose minibus came driving past, really rather fast and straight through a large puddle, next to me. I was subsequently drenched through.  I suspect I may now have to send my suit to the dry cleaners. This is not the way I expect a supposedly upmarket brand to behave. RegardsJames Winfield ***** Thanks for contacting us … Continued

Complaint: Chick Chick Chicken

By

white and red rooster

From last year… ****** Dear Sainsburys I’ve been busy this week, really busy.  See, I’mlooking for somewhere to live, I have to move in two weeks and I amspending a lot of time looking for somewhere to live.  It is a pain inthe backside. So you can understand that I need my life to go smoothly at the moment. Imaginemy disappointment when I started to make my chicken salad on Wednesdaymorning before work, and found the chicken looking rather dry and atouch discoloured – and realised that the best before date was 27thJuly. I have complained about this on a … Continued

Supermarket Slut

By

I got a bit pissed off with Sainsbury’s regularly sending me short-dated chicken which is useless when you want to make salads Monday to Friday, so at the beginning of the year, I decided that I would whore myself out and try other supermarkets. I started with those I feared most – and of course, skipped those that I fear such as Iceland.  They had to do online delivery too. Asda was the first company that I tried online shopping with around 8 years ago.  They were that bad that I didn’t use online shopping for about 5 years.  At … Continued

James Went To Bucharest

By

Early last year, myself and my most important advisor (family excepted) decided that we would have a party weekend away somewhere. Ideally I wanted to go to a country I’d never visited, and again ideally somewhere inexpensive. We batted a few ideas around but given that we intended it on being a clubbing weekend, and most of my favourite DJs nowadays are from Romania, it made sense to visit the new centre of minimal techno – like visiting Berlin would have in 2004 when the last wave of minimal was really starting to make waves. For a variety of reasons … Continued

James Went To Theatre

By

It’s about 16 years since I went to the theatre.  You are far more likely to see me dancing away in a nightclub, having a few beers whilst watching the football or in a nice country pub having a roast dinner. I’m not exactly your average uncultured Neanderthal, but the theatre isn’t something that I generally consider as an evening’s entertainment. And then I heard the shocking news that Reading Council were considering closing down South Street Arts Centre.  How dare they?  What a disgrace. Oh wait a minute – I’ve lived in Reading for 17 years and haven’t even … Continued
