  • subtle segues*

    One of the things we tried for the first time on your recent holiday was riding a Segway. In case you’re not sure what they are, essentially they are a platform on which you stand with a wheel either side and a handlebar to steer with. Now that’s not really doing justice to them as…

  • lol, rotfl, or jars?*

    I went into a pub at lunchtime recently and was rather surprised when I went in there was nobody else there. The place was empty. I looked around and saw an old fashioned Space Invaders machine in the corner. I couldn’t resist so put the coins in and started defending the earth from the relentless…

  • A shameless plug

    One of my friends and I are putting on a magic show on 23rd May. We had this poster created for the event (Richard is definitely one of Essex’s finest magicians: he’s a member of the Magic Circle –  I’d be happy to be known as one of Essex’s thinnest!) If you would like to…

  • last minute decision

    Today I have had an epiphany. It’s difficult isn’t it. When one section of society celebrates it can unintentionally alienate another. So English people might celebrate a win at rugby or football or cricket and non-England supporters can feel left out. Sport-lovers celebrated the Olympics and Paralympics last year and those who don’t like sport…

  • a fun bloggage

    My bloggerel seems to be influenced by breakfast cereal at the moment. This morning as I was munching on my non-brand wheat-based biscuits I glanced at a box of crispy rice cereal that was left on the table. On the front was an advert for a ‘fun colour me in activity’ on the back of…

  • Now that’s what I call amusing 17

    Isn’t the British sense of humour wonderful? And the effort some people will go to in order to express that is brilliant… Visit this blog and prepare to be amused. http://wharferj.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/underground-guerilla-signs/
