Every so often I just feel the need to vent. Today is one of those days. It seems that everything is conspiring to bug me today, from call centre queueing systems to Edinburgh tram workers. Not that the tram workers are ever really out of my ‘anger spectrum’, but some days even they surpass themselves [...]

Muscle Pains and Brain Drains
I’ve only just recovered enough to type. Saturday was spent with some very good friends at the soft play area at Ratho indoor climbing centre. Two hyper boys, one soft play area and two ageing, unfit Dads was always going to be a recipe for pain. And it was for me. When I woke up [...]
Bogston and Bully’s special prize
Yesterday morning I travelled to Glasgow. Alighting at Queen Street I thought I should pay a visit to the gents prior to leaving the station. The ‘Superloos’ as they are known. 20p to get in. That’s posh. Anyway (and stop reading now if you don’t appreciate toilet humour), in I go and find a free [...]
Paul Daniels is my mate
Well, not really. But I am registered as a subscriber on his blog. I visited his blog after reading the ‘top blogs’ list in last weekends Sunday Times Culture magazine. I thought, “Hey ho, Paul Daniels has a blog?” and gave it a read. I used to be a huge Paul Daniels fan as a [...]
Sleepless in Leith II
Last night was one of those nights when you just can’t get to sleep for trying. I should stress that the parentage of wee Alfie’s bairn was not the reason for my restlessness. Unfortunately, I can’t really pinpoint what was up last night. Most likely just a case of working away far too late on [...]
Alfie. Is not your daddy? (post title subject to change after DNA testing)
I’m on a blog frenzy this weekend, but how could I fail to be with such hilarious news topics as ‘Alfie the Shagger’ all over the press. According to today’s Sunday Mail, young Alfred may not necessarily be the father of the baby girl after all. Turns out that Chantelle (Alfie’s girlfriend) has been kissing [...]
5 things you want your kids to know – a meme
I’m in a list mood this week and when I saw this on the daily meme, I couldn’t resist. Basically, the premise is to list 5 things you want your kids to know as they are growing up. The minute I saw the title, I knew I could have a lot of fun with this [...]
When Facebook met Three Minute Boy
It seems that the Facebook “25 random things about me” has really taken off. Apparently over 5 million notes have been created since it’s inception and the identity of the person who started it is now one of Facebook’s greatest mysteries. I was tagged a while back and didn’t respond. As such, I’m going to [...]
Ten things on a Tuesday
Last night, I possibly saw the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Whilst walking up the Playfair Steps with one of the guys from work, we passed a beggar who had built what could only be described as a supporting cast of ‘Snow Beggars’, complete with wee arms made of twigs and hair made of [...]

I have decided to share some of the more humorous recent searches for your reading pleasure. Enjoy. “animals [...]
