So much for the plans for Easter. We knew that the weather forecast wasn’t good for the weekend but we thought we’d give it a go. I picked Kathy up from work at 4pm and then after spending nearly twenty minutes at Sainsbury’s putting 60 litres of petrol in the car (thanks in part to […]
… when the roads are gridlocked, the pubs and restaurants are full to over flowing and you can’t actually enjoy living in town. Yes that’s right – its The Cheltenham Festival. When the world and his dog descends on the town, drinks too much Guinness and then throws up or pisses in the street. So […]
Last week I basically hit rock bottom. On Tuesday (one week ago today) I had major problems and was pretty much non-functional and I somehow managed to get through the day without considering anything too drastic. I’m not going to say anything about the text messages I got.. “Can you just phone us, we need […]
I went to the supermarket today to pick up a few things. Thought I’d have some mackerel as I like a good bit of fish. So I’m standing at the checkout and I wonder how Sainsbury’s recommend I cook said Mackerel fillets. I turn the pack over: No cooking guidelines but two very, very important […]

Where did December go? Did it fall down the back of the sofa. Its Sunday Dec 30th The last Sunday in 2007, The next pubnight will be in 2008 (I must recode Dr Tone to work properly for next year)
A week after I phoned to police to tell them that our 95 had been vandalised I get a letter through the post from Gloucesteshire Police. Its depressing reading – says so much about what our police force has become: ———— Offence : Criminal Damage to property valued under £5000 – vehicle Date Reported : […]
Well we are well on the way to planning Christmas. The Booze has been ordered (which is one of the most important things) and we’ve done a lot of the shopping. Should be picking up a tree sometime this week – there is a shop close to us which delivers them, which saves you having […]
