No Business Like Snow Business!
Unless you have just arrived home from a short break on the planet Andromeda, I am going to take a wild guess and assume that everyone reading this is under the assumption that it is going to snow tomorrow. How much snow we will get will of course vary, but there could be (I can here my Canadian relations laughing from here) anything up to six inches, which is nearly half the size of my penis! Snow in southern England is something of a ...
The Star at Bentworth
One of the most critical things about being a forty-something singleton, is to make sure that you have at least one friend who you can go out for a quiet pint with at short notice on any given day.

Andy was given a month’s membership of the gym where I am a ...
The Battle With New Year’s Resolutions
Thirty-six hours after smoking ten fags and decking a full bottle of vintage port, I went in to full scale self-righteous mode this lunch time and embarked on my first trip down to the gymnasium since mid-December 2012. New Year’s Eve was the first and only time I really abused myself with toxins over the Christmas break, something that was partly due to being physically well off the pace and partly to do with deliberately avoiding my new ...
