Let the games begin. Again.

Email really is going to get me into trouble one of these days.
That, and texting.
I’m starting to think Moose should be given custody of my keyboard and mobile after 10pm. For the safety of all concerned you understand.
Then again, the potential for embarrassment and the humorous stories that are bound to follow is monumental and [...]

Bright Cast: take six

Well, better late than never. It gives me great pleasure to bring you the lastest episode of the Bright Cast.
Due to my voice being on holiday lately, and Neko owing me one in order to get the Ninja Penguins off her back (that’ll teach the girl to tell the godhead about this blog!) I decided [...]

Sunday Roast: sod it, the bloody thing’s stuck again

Guess where the quote in todays title comes from - five huggles to the winner (five more if you can say which episode). I’m sorry if today’s Roast feels a little rushed, but that’s because it was (*blush*). Moose is dragging me off to see Pan’s Labyrinth and then Neko is coming round and… I’m [...]

My Family

As a kid I absolutely adored Gerald Durrell’s “My Family and Other Animals” and devoured the battered paperback many times over before I reached my teens. Looking back on it now I am struck, not so much by the animals that litter the pages and that were the driving force for me reading the book [...]

Chicken Soup for the Masses

Damn it.
I got sent home from work at lunchtime today. Apparently I was just too pathetic to be taken seriously again
The problem with being sick, and sent home, is that I want to cook things. Nourishing things. Like chicken soup (don’t mock - I make a mean chicken soup!). So I slave away in [...]

And so it continues…

When will I learn that my constant quest for new readers generally leads to, you know, new readers?
And that Moo cards are sneaky and evil.
Last time I went back to the Homestead I cleared my bookshelves of the books I wanted with me in Southampton. Among the many Georgette Heyer’s, Tom Sharpe’s, Wyndham’s and Asimov’s [...]

Gambit + Sawyer = Happy Cas

Ok, so I can die happy. Maybe not die, that’s is a little severe and against my whole “I’m actually enjoying my life at the moment” thing, but at least I can be sick and happy.
Seriously, I read this and did a happy dance. It also goes to show how well Moose knows me when [...]

Sunday Roast: I’m kind of jealous of the life I’m supposedly leading

I still don’t have much of a voice and added to that I now have a lovely sinus-headache and truly beautiful chesty cough. I think I’ve changed me mind - right now I can only imagine some Dr. doing research in germ warfare would be interested in me.
But all of the above doesn’t impede by [...]

Double-Oh-Yum

I just saw Casino Royale with Moose and the Latvian Lovely. I do recommend seeing the film if only to oggle Daniel Craig’s absolutely perfect body. The man is, well, divine in this movie.
Always knew he’d make a good Bond.
And for those whose preferences run to the other gender, there is always Eva Green who [...]

I’d date me

I looked in the mirror to check all was in place before going round to the Divine M’s for a dinner party this evening and was struck with the rather surprising realisation - I’d date me.
Well, I would.
If I was a guy and not me and… You know what I’m trying to say.
The reason I [...]
