Seems redudant mentioning this as I know there really isn’t that many people who read this; and even less who even give a flying whatsit. I’m going to Argentina for a few weeks today, for all the following reasons: to take some photographs, get out of this god forsaken city and finally to spend some […]

Having being told in December by Chloe how I reminded her of the main character “Ignatius Reilly” from the book “A Confederacy of Dunces”; I was forced to read up some reviews of the book to see what this character was supposed to be all about… and it was then that I took the insult […]

Coming home from the youth group I attend, I caught the bus with two other members and we sat at the near the rear of the bus chatting. The two members comprised of a female and a degenerate idiot whom I wouldn’t spare half a second for in any ordinary condition. However, I stayed engaged […]

If you’re as stupid as I am… you may have made this mistake several times. Allow me to demonstrate my stupidity: I was copying a directory filled with some files (and in all honesty I am unsure if those files were fonts, conf files or whatever, although what I do remember is that the files […]

I just wrote an article the other day about being complacent, then I write one about not being subtle, in which you’d get the impression that I am of two minds. I’d like to clarify that despite the complacency article lead you to believe that I wasn’t being assertive enough in what I believe…. ….the […]

I’ve recently have been told that I lack subtlety; on reflection I do believe that person is right. The problem now is overcoming this. I’ve set my whole outlook on my life around the idea of being direct with what I need to, would like and what I feel. The concept that perhaps such directness […]

I just watched it for the 5th time (at least) and I just want to make sure that those of you who have never heard of it go out and watch it. It really is a cinematic masterpiece, attention to detail, scripting, filming, grip, etc. cannot be faulted. The only thing about this film that […]

Friday evening, site at a stand-still owing to the weather conditions (again) and there I was lingering about seeing what everyone else was doing to fill their time. I come across the ground workers (a.k.a Labradors …. labourers) lingering round the back end of the site wasting time. Me being the new guy on site […]

My boss (God bless him), is limited to only speaking in colloquialisms and idioms, which to me is great as all he ever says is “in the first instance…”, “within reason”, “to a degree” and so on… and I can quite happily mock him behind his back. Anyhow, he was telling a story about when […]

Having watched Alfie (1966) a few weeks ago I decided to watch what the modern version. Having heard from many people how bad it was I was ready to embrace a poor rendition of a 60s classic. However, I was really surprised. Granted, the story is not the same, some of the characters are merged […]
