What a Load of Rubbish

It would appear that once again, the ‘resistance to change’ mentality has triumphed over common sense. My local council (Walsall MBC), put forward plans to reduce refuse collections to fortnightly instead of weekly. However, residents have petitioned and overwhelmingly voted in surveys to keep their... Sign in to see full entry.

Hair Brained Obsession

Why are we all so obsessed with our hair and how it looks? Generally, to most of us, it is all-important and I am no different. I say this because I have just felt it around my head and thought it was about time I had it cut. You see, if I let it grow too much, then it starts to look boring and I...

My Time on the Back to Work Course

An incident occurred the other day where a building was destroyed by a huge fire. This triggered a memory of a time when I spent a few days in the aforementioned building on a ‘Back to Work’ course. In the UK, if you are out of work for more than six months, you are forced to attend interviews at... Sign in to see full entry.

The David Files (Part 3)

David is my teenage son and is Autistic. He lives with me these days and has made great progress over the last few years. When first diagnosed with Autism at the age of three, the Doctor told that he would never develop a great deal. However, he has evolved within his own little world. Here I tell...

White Water Rafting down the Andes...Well Wales Actually

On Saturday, I finally got to do my White Water Rafting, which I had been trying to do for over a year now. It was a present from Clare in 2005 and has been cancelled time after time due to weather, Water board and other things. Well, with some trepidation, I did it, after a short trip into the...

More Middle Management Madness

I had a memo come round to me at work today. The people at HQ at the Dream Factory have obviously had even more time on their hands than usual in order to come up with this latest gem. ‘ANNUAL LEAVE: Annual Leave entitlement should now be converted into hours (instead of days). To clarify, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Holiday

Just came back (Monday) from five beautiful days with Matthew and Eleanor in a caravan in Paington. Since the divorce in 2003, I haven’t been away with them, and it was five years ago. Well, at the time they were only three and one respectively at the time, so neither can remember. Therefore, with... Sign in to see full entry.

Mini-Moto’s, the School Run…and Other Motoring Annoyances

I’m not one who really suffers from road rage as such; in fact, I am quite tolerant. I adopt the practice, that I am confident and happy with my driving, but anybody else I encounter on the road may be an incompetent maniac. The other day, in a hurry, I made the fatal mistake of driving past a local... Sign in to see full entry.
