Readers of this blog will already know that one of my all-time favourite actors is John Candy. He was one of those rare comic actors who could make you laugh one minute and quietly move you the next. His humanity always shone through. Robin Williams had that same quality, but this isn’t the post where…
Excuse my decidely incongruent inuendo laden Christmas headline, but I had to throw St Nicholas in there somehow. Even a post about Christmas needs a hook, even if it’s one Sid James would be proud of 😉 Merry Chrimbo! It would have been remiss of me to not to take this opportunity to wish…
Last night I had another dream… What is that all about when it’s at home? You can go months without remembering a single one and then for a few nights in a row your brain suddenly decides to run its own late-night cinema without asking your permission. If I could bottle that lucidity on demand…
I’ve got something I want to get off my chest… and it’s not a bra. No, “Your t*ts are bigger than mine” jokes either, thanks. First though, I have to frame this and put into context. At school there was an athletic kid who could do backflips in the playground. For some silly reason there…
This is from one of my note posts which I think is deserving of ‘post’ status. So without further ado… Love is a funny thing. It’s a bit like playing cards. You can show your hand and go all in but it doesn’t mean you are going to win the game. You can’t go into…

Before the days of Facebook there used to be sites where you could just chat to interesting people and get to know them. Now it’s either really dating sites or social media. I don’t really like social media much and dating sites come with all that baggage of expectation in terms of what people are…
Don’t You Cry For Me Lets all embrace the madness. Join me, one more time… A single video doesn’t normally qualify as a post on here, but this time I’m making an exception. This is post number 50. Half way through the ride (maybe).
Here is a quick post today. It’s one of my favourite videos of me and the family in a spontaneous silly dance and the second one is me talking about a classmate at school that taught me the only thing on keyboard I knew for the entirety of music class for the two years I…
Ladies and Gents, we are in the middle of an epidemic. It involves the use of a thumb and a mobile phone. People doing this will walk into you whilst in a trance that is hard to shake off. This happened to me only the other day in the supermarket. A bloke was walking along,…
