Jingle Jangle Jungle!

First off I´d like to say big up to one of my favourite comedians David O´Doherty on winning the Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Can´t wait to see him live again! Also, just heard on Phantom FM that there´s going to be a sixth book written in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy […]

Adventures in Central America wind down

Its my niece Nicole’s 18th birthday today. Its amazing that the only time I start to feel my age is when relations get older. Its unreal that the beautiful and intelligent little girl I met when I was only 12 has turned into the woman I saw just a few short months back! I can’t […]

Background will soon be updated with a new photo (thanks Kev!) Though, in all fairness, […]

Puzzling House Warming!

How do lads and lassies? I’m finally ensconcing myself in my new abode. It’s proving difficult as there’s something to do every weekend, and when there’s not I’m too shattered to pack up my life and move it next door. However, it’s getting to that madly ridiculous phase, where, even though there’s still work to […]
