• Today I was loafing around and thought sod it I’m going for a run. After all, I do have this monster run to do on Sunday and don’t want to be out of place. Well, I made my run longer than I intended and worked up […]

  • Hmm, here I sit ready to type about a busy yet wasted couple of days. Saturday was manic thanks to a great little fight club session and a run to finish. It was all good.

    I awoke on Sunday thinking I’d have a […]

  • The hour is late (well not really but I’ve got to get up early in the morn for work!) so I shall be succinct.

    Let’s start by what I’m reading. Well I have  a Kindle and I’m currently trailing through The […]

  • So, I return do I not? Well that remains to be seen. The question is why am I blogging in the first place?

    I guess it’s a place to put down random thoughts, to witter for want of a better word. In days gone by […]

  • Bored. I’m sure we all suffer from that affliction from time to time and it gnaws at me today. Later on I shall fire up EA Active 2 and prance around like a maniac to keep a rotund gut at bay but on the whole I shall probably bash a few zombies and generally procrastinate [...]

  • Hmm talk about a few busy days and lazy ones. I wrote a Sestina a while ago (yes really) for the writers group and for a laugh thought lets sub it off. Well, Bewildering Stories were happy to oblige and you can find it here (hurry up though, it’ll be replaced at the end of [...]

    Harsh stuff indeed Del and it is pretty uncompromising throughout. Gives me plenty to work with.

    Good luck with your efforts and I’ve no doubt you’ll get to the end provided you can avoid all those distractions :D

  • A few fellow bloggers might recognise the title but for this was a first. In November the target is to write a novel on the nanowrimo site to a) get your creative juices going, b) to get a first draft of a novel c) just maybe have something worthwhile writing about. Now I won’t lie. [...]

  • Time will tell blitzky but I had to get out, just wasn’t quite as I would have chosen.

  • Hmm what a week. Firstly, let’s just say that something had been brewing for a while but on Tuesday/Wednesday the kettle well and truly boiled over. A while back they decided in their infinite wisdom to introduce a rolling shift pattern at my place of toil. This was quite unacceptable to me due to the [...]

  • Enjoy but must warn you that the first ode has some very offensive language.  If you’re likely to be offended then please stay well clear. No stopping. I got myself going when I was but a kid, A habit I got into but never did quite rid. It was the old man’s lager it gave me [...]

    In reply to: WelshPixie commented on the blog post The Social Network Yeah… We’re intrigued by this. On the one hand I couldn’t imagine anything more tedious to make a movie out of (except maybe Monopoly…), but on the other […] View

    Gawd help us if they’re making films about facebook or crackbook as I’ve heard it called before :D

    In reply to: WelshPixie commented on the blog post Silly people Wow… yeah, silly people! And Bookface seems to be a breeding ground for idiots starting fights… View

    Very true Del, it seems the book of face can bring out the worst in people. Had to hear the same old nonsense all over again today..groan!

  • Aren’t we all beset by them at times. Today, it was a fellow colleague who falls squarely into this category. I won’t lax lyrical about the whole silliness but suffice to say facebook had its part to play. Firstly, his ex puts up a status to which he makes a comment. Next thing her boyfriend [...]

  • Almost finished reading this book and look forward to watching both this film and also the girl who played with fire

    In reply to: WelshPixie posted an update: I’ve self-published a little book of my poetry, ”I’m Going To Hell For This…”, on lulu.com. Roughly 40 pages of poems, some very silly cover art, and a starving artist waiting […] View

    Congratulations Del, that’s a fine achievement :D

  • Someone at work asked me to look into something. Rather than be mundane and reply in the usual manner I sent this in an e-mail instead :) Subject: A most creative answer Enjoy… Miss Daly asked for one stock check, So off I went, oh what the heck. Far and wide I crossed a divide, To [...]
