The Mystery of Our Plumbing Heroes!

Posted on June 4, 2013

I was outside my house the other day when I witnessed the extraordinary sight of my neighbour worshiping a man leaving her house by using powerful words such as "hero" and "life saver." Was this gentleman a surgeon who had just carried out lifesaving heart surgery? Was he a brave police officer who had foiled an armed burglar? Hell no, he was a plumber of course, a man whose trade has somehow reached a ludicrous state of elevation. After I ...

BT Infinity…A Premature Celebration?

Posted on May 30, 2013

I had a knock on my door the other day from my neighbour, who proceeded to put her hands in the air and say; "Yay... at last, I've got BT Infinity." "What you have it now...Wow....what's it like?"

This old gay marriage malarkey is getting a bit over the top isn't it? I really do wonder what all the fuss about as because the last time I checked, I was firmly of the belief that what makes a good society is a happy society. If getting married creates happiness between same sex couples, who really cares? The extreme right wing of the Tory party seem to care; they seem to be stuck in a somewhat bizarre place where buggering children or ...

Sprockets, Tappets, Pistons & Horse Power

Posted on May 14, 2013

Cars seemed to have dominated my life in the last few days, I have experienced on three consecutive days, a flat battery, a flat tyre and a speeding fine which was the result of a self-inflicted dash up the M3 motorway late on Sunday evening. The flat battery was self-inflicted as well, courtesy of leaving my ignition on at the cricket club on Saturday afternoon but as much as I try, it is hard to go for an unenviable hat-trick and blame ...
