Christmas has come early (Well okay, they were playing Christmas songs in the shops in my local high street about three weeks ago but I tried to ignore it), but what with it being December tomorrow then maybe I should start to acknowledge the fact that it’s come around to that time of year again.
I [...]

I usually hate it when someone does a cover version of an old favourite/classic of mine, but I’ve just seen on The Box a version of ‘Listen to your heart’ - the old Roxette classic from 1990 - by an artist called ‘DHT‘ whom I’ve never heard of before. It’s actually not [...]

A strange-and-spooky coincidence moment occured to me yesterday.
After work, I did the nice thing of popping round in person to someones house to add some memory into their laptop. Now when I say ’someone’ it was actually the editor of the Entertainment section here at work - they’d asked my boss “If they [...]

A new theory. Ok - not so much a theory but a discussion point.
I had a conversation with my friend Adrian on Saturday, where he revealed to me that one his female colleagues had ‘confessed’ to him that when she went clothes shopping she would often do this:
Have an idea in mind of [...]

Under impressed by the new series of Little Britain last week (but give it time, it’ll pick up as the series goes on, I’m sure), probably the one thing which did make me smile was the ‘Computer says no’ woman that’s now moved to a travel agents instead. I thought of this last night as [...]

It’s Friday. And i’m not at work. On a day when there will probably be in the building more ‘celebs’ that ever before, as it’s Children In Need day here at the Beeb, and all normall programming for evening is scrapped for our annual charity thang. TVC crawls with activity all day and [...]

That has to be one of the strangest days at work yet.
It was my own fault when back on the weekend when washing-day was due in Geoff’s house but I hadn’t been arsed to get round to it, I was left with scrappy t-shirts, the likes of which I would normally only wear [...]

Many years ago, one of the original ‘Does the round’ emails that used to get forwarded on a lot, was a list of things about ‘If Microsoft made cars’, and then followed an amusing twist on what would happen to motor vehicle manufacturing if Microsoft bought out Ford or General Motors. You can still find [...]

I’m in BBC mode - as per usual. Must be something about working at the weekend.
And for some reason hearing the rhythmic beat of the news sting as I turned up for another 7am start this morning, reminded me of a track which I’ve been meaning to put up here for a while.
I’ve always [...]

Got to work slightly early this morning for a 7am start. As I walk through the old reception, a distinctly unshaven, rough looking guy in a tatty old jacket calls out to me - ” ’scuse me mate, do you know where Radio 5 is please?”. I actually look him up and down [...]

Actually, this is not that irrelevant, in fact - it’s quite funny …
I had to go to the doctors this morning. Don’t panic (or celebrate?) folks, I’m not about to whither and die yet, but it was something that had me worried enough for me to go along and get it checked out, [...]

Three conversations I’ve had over the past couple of days:
1/ Are there men that sit down to go to the loo when they’re just having a wee. And why do they do this?
2/ If you want to slit your wrists to kill yourself, how it’s better to do it lengthways than across the wrists [...]
