Positively Grumpy

By

So I’m a grumpy fucker on a Friday again. There are probably deep-seated reasons that the psychologists amongst you, or whose who watched the first three seasons of Big Brother, have long worked out. I’m partly putting it down to a comedown.  But mostly Bracknell. Yes.  Bracknell.  It is the source of much that fucks me off.  It is the source of my unsatisfyingly dull job and home of the house of annoyances. I was never totally convinced about the house I’m living in, but it was the one that ticked the most boxes.  I came home last night to … Continued

I Watched The Corbyn Speech

By

Red Leicester Morris Men on The Market Place - Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival 2017

I watched the Corbyn speech.  Honestly! Well, in a #newpolitics kind of way anyway.  The Daily Politics said they expected him to speak for 30 minutes.  After 35 minutes, I had finished my ironing and I had really had enough of him.  I stopped and went to make some cheese on crackers.  I had seen enough. Now I quite like Jeremy Corbyn a person.  He is an affable enough bloke.  But then again I like almost all politicians.  Yeah I’m strange – either that or the average Joe just blankets them with their lazy brush “oh they’re all the same”. … Continued

Corbynomics = Failure

quote board on top of cash bills

So far we have learnt that Corbyn approves of Hamas, Hezbollah, woman-beating, arson, riots and those who want to honour the IRA. I am slightly stretching the facts here (although there is a story behind each of these) however I am not fabricating when I emphasise just how much of a danger this man and his cohort of bankruptcy would be to our economy. Spuriously known as the Shadow Chancellor, McDonnell wants to turn the United Kingdom into a replica of Venezuela. Allegedly he is going to wipe out the budget deficit like George Osborne, and you won’t have to … Continued

Ibiza 2015 – My Very Belated Review Of My 12th Visit

By

I’m writing this review of my 12th trip to Ibiza two weeks after getting back.  Is it really two weeks already? There were 12 of us going to the villa, all couples, except for me and JP.  Yes JP was sharing a room with me.  He must have been crazy to agree that.  And various others on the island that we met up with.  I knew about half of the gang prior to going. OK I’m now writing it four weeks after getting back.  I should forget about writing but it seems traditional to write about my trips abroad, particularly … Continued

James Went To Church

By

Yes I went into a church.  I cannot decide if I am not agnostic or atheist, however I can clarify that going to a church is total anathema to me, it goes against my beliefs.  I agreed to go for a family member who is seriously ill, as I thought it was the right thing to do. Said family member is seeking and receiving comfort through the church.  And I am pleased about this.  I am not someone who thinks religion is the source of all evil and war, as some atheists will tell you.  I am more of a … Continued

And Goodbye Reading

By

Travelodge, Reading

Tonight is (written on Friday) my last night in Reading, and yes I am feeling rather sad about it. Those born in Reading don’t seem to appreciate what the town offers to them and I guess if you are comparing the history of Windsor, the tranquil beauty of villages such as Sonning, or the international excitement of London, then maybe Reading is a little underwhelming. But if you’ve been brought up somewhere rough, like I have, then Reading is a place of beauty.  And I am leaving it reluctantly. My home town is Hull and I do have a lot … Continued

Goodbye Baydon Drive

By

So it’s goodbye Baydon Drive on Saturday. It is without doubt the house I have enjoyed living in most and the nicest house I have lived in.  It may well be the nicest house that I ever live in. I had to move out of the grotty flat that was consuming far too much of my money.  I didn’t want to go back into a house-share but it was a great decision, helped by living with a champagne socialist. The house had its imperfections, but there was lots of space to store all my stuff and the neighbours never complained … Continued

Cecil

By

African male lion, carnivore wildlife

I switched on the porn portal the other day, also known as the Islamic State training manual, and occasionally known as the internet, to find the usual keyboard warriors banging on about a lion called Cecil. I rolled my eyes and carried on scrolling down my news feed of infinite wisdom but despite my initial indifference, I kept thinking about it. My questioning mind meant that my first thoughts were to doubt the story, or to question the motives behind those making the story public.  Was it another ridiculous conspiracy theory?  Was the man in question being targeted for some … Continued

Room For Frustration

By

happy young couple among boxes at new home

No this is not about my sex life, I got over that type of frustration roughly after the birth of Jesus Christ, or Jeremy Corbyn, as some people seem to believe. I found three rooms that I liked.  None of them perfect but I liked them enough. I spent a few days thinking about them and then put an offer in to the one that made most sense. Gone. Then I asked about the other one I liked. Gone. Then the 3rd favourite. Not letting it out now. Brilliant.  So I am back to square one. I didn’t really enjoy … Continued

Minisemidetoxtime

By

Free salad and detox water

So Ibiza is over for another year and I’m heading back to work tomorrow. I have no money and I just worked out that I have drunk alcohol on 20 consecutive days – my body feels like it too, albeit I have actually lost weight…there may be one or two reasons for that too. Further to that I have 33 days to find somewhere new to live. Therefore it is minisemidetoxtime. The rule is as follows: Only one pint allowed per week, until both the end of July AND when I have found somewhere to live.  So if I haven’t … Continued
