Well, we’re back from Luxembourg. I’ll post full details later but at the moment I am not in the right frame of mind. Today we admitted my Grandmother to what is in essence a psychiatric hospital. This is as a result of her dementia and her increasingly unpredictable behaviour since my Grandad entered hospital 4 [...]

Vengeance will be swift
I have a new arch enemy. “DJ Garry #1″ to be precise. This disc spinning hip hop ned has taken to writing his name in biro all over our door entry system and also on the walls in the common stair area. In a strange twist to the usual graffiti you see decorating tenement stairs, [...]
Unarmed and unlegged combat
I guess we all have days when we expect to find an oasis of calm and instead find ourself plummeting like a stone through a manky stagnant pool of calamity. Well, it was my turn yesterday. More specifically, during last nights visit to the (usually calm) hospital to visit my Grandad. A bit of background [...]
“Thank God for the internet”
As the song says – “Thank God for the internet”. Given that I’m an internet nut, then this may not be the most objective post. As I sit here at lunchtime I can’t help but wonder at the marvel that is the web. Without it, you certainly wouldn’t be reading my thoughts on this or [...]
Winter

Mrs and Mrs
The lesbian wedding was great on Saturday. I particularly enjoyed the roast pig and even more so, the pained expression of the two chefs who had to stand outside on a freezing night cooking the thing in a muddy stable. Many drinks were had with the meal, after which I encountered an unforeseen problem with [...]
“Gandalf, yer tea’s oot”
According to todays Times, 6 children born in the UK last year were called Gandalf. There were 6 Jay-Z’s and ridiculously 27 Tupac’s. 4 baby girls were given the fabulous chav handle of Catherine Zeta. There was even an instance of a child being called Superman! And so to me. I’m looking forward to the [...]
OJ Simpson. WTF ? / Cheese for the masses
It appears that OJ Simpson has written a book called ‘IF I did it’. According to the BBC, OJ claims that the book is a work of fiction (faction?) which details exactly how he WOULD have gone about murdering his ex-wife and her lover IF he had done it. That’s some serious spooky shit. Or [...]
Update
Just an update on my previous post about my Grandad collapsing. He seems to be OK albeit with a bit of a sore face. No reason given for his blackout yet but he should hopefully get home tomorrow. Tweet This Post Bookmark It
A mixed bag
I’ve got a lot of time on my hands today, so stick with me as I rant through a number of topics. Most of these thoughts have been running through my head since about 7am this morning as I lay in bed so they may spill out in a slightly disjointed manner. Please pay attention….. [...]
