We did something very similar & wrote to our sons primary school to take him out three days early as it meant saving about a grand on the holiday. We were told ‘sorry, we can’t give permission for that, the local authority won’t allow it’ so we took him out anyway, got fined & just paid it as it...

This is quite fun. My Shadow - by Robert Louis Stevenson I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing...

By way of a little light relief, I have always loved the Revolting Rhymes by Road Dhal. The Three Little Pigs is a particular favourite. The animal I really dig, Above all others is the pig. Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous. However, Now and then, to break this rule, One...

Somewhere I have never travelled. by EE Cummings. somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look easily will unclose me...

I absolutely loved cb radio back in the day because the father of a girl I was seeing had one in his car & would let me & his lovely daughter use it when he left the car on the drive & went to the pub. As a pair of horny teenagers, the daughter & I spent many very happy hours getting busy in...

It’s a classic. I saw the Gundo reports & this is pretty much the first thing that popped into my head.

FFS, Just the 15 out of the first 20 ‘articles’ in the daily mail about utd tonight. One game in & the wankfest is in full swing.

Absolutely, just check out the many Jordan Keppler v trump supporters clips on youtube, which are hilarious & terrifying in equal measure. They will literally believe anything he says as fact & nothing will persuade them otherwise. It’s a horrifying peek through the windows of the cult. They...

I was fortunate to be there at his race at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games a couple of years ago & although a huge favourite for gold, he sadly finished second that night too. He gave an interview before the Paris games which really spell out what he went through & how he considered suicide...

Yep, He really does seem to be a good guy & I am gutted for him.

Absolutely gutted for MHS. I really hoped he could do it, but I honestly feared he wouldn’t be able to put together the perfect series of races needed to win an Olympic gold. Fine margins, but ultimately just fell short.

Maybe go & see your GP, tell them how you are struggling & ask for counselling/help. I went through something similar with the unexpected sudden death of a very much loved close member of my family whilst also having a serious health scare of my own. I had counselling over the phone for a...

The bloody awful team GB olympic tracksuits. Makes every athlete look like a chav wearing jodhpurs under the jogging bottoms whilst also wearing a top thats too small for them and rides up exposing their stomach if they raise their arms. Ridiculous kit design.

Nice one Hope you enjoy it.

Had loads of hand me down bikes until I got a Royal Enfield Firefly for my 11th Birthday. Absolutely loved this bike.

Apart from the god awful music, I thought it was pretty decent & watching at the Imax is brilliant.

my son has just had his first novel published & although I am rightly biased, I have really enjoyed this book. Below is a review which gives an excellent synopsis of what the book is about...

Went to see Twisters at the Vue cinema Imax at the Printworks last night. It was actually pretty decent & enjoyable. It’s more update than sequel. Watching in Imax was definitely the way to go & visually it was as stunning as you would hope it to be. There was too much truly awful country music...

Glad to say I fooked it off a few years ago. I saw a whole 6 or 7 minutes of england in this entire tournament & that was accidental. I don’t watch them at all normally, didn’t see any qualifiers & won’t bother watching again until the waistcoat is replaced with a manager who wants to actually...
