See, it’s a report like this [below] that makes me wonder why I bothered moving back to Blogger last year… I don’t post to my personal blog frequently because of writing one for the Morning Advertiser and another for the Inapub News website, but maybe my sporadic personal bouts will have to come back to… [Read more…]

Blogger’s new look: Mutton Dressed As Lamb

I moved my personal blog back to Google’s Blogger earlier this year in an effort to get all my web presences under one umbrella; I’m wondering if I made a mistake. In my latest blog here, on the subject of Blogger, I can’t help thinking that Google have made their product look nice, but just… [Read more…]

That Was The Tweet, That Was...

I’ve enjoyed my little dalliance with WordPress, but I’m a Google man through and through and, with the news that Google is due to give Blogger a much-needed overhall in the coming weeks, I’ve decided it’s time to return to the site where my addiction with blogging began. (Actually, that’s not quite true – I… [Read more…]

The trouble with driving a Ford Focus…

June 2, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, I bought myself a “new” car, a Ford Focus to be exact, through auction.  Not eBay (I did that with the last car) but a proper, trade car auction. It was the most frightening car purchase of my life; but I’ll come back to that later. Over the years, I’ve… [Read more…]

When it comes to politics, I have to say I’m a bit blasé about the whole thing.  Usually, all politicians seem to do is say the same thing as their opponent, only with different words. (It’s usually the same standing listening to an… [Read more…]

Easter Holidays Day 12 … the Balloon Helicopter

April 22, 2011

Keeping the children occupied during holiday periods is a tricky thing, and so far this Easter Holiday I’ve managed to entertain them by taking them to the dentist, and the youngest was in hospital last Friday for a bit of an operation.

We're all Proud of Pubs

We are the people that others go to to get away from their own troubles; we’re Happiness Engineers! I’m between “professional blogging contracts” at the moment, following the sad closure of The Publican magazine after its recent purchase by William Reed Business Media, so I thought I’d use this place – my personal blog, a… [Read more…]
