My Five Frightening Moments from the Movies

5) The Wicker Man - When Edward Woodwood walks over the brow of that hill, "Oh Christ, Oh Jesus Christ". 4) Poltergeist - That Bloody Clown doll. 3) Silence of the Lambs - When Jodie Foster walks past the cells and Lecter comes into view...just standing, waiting. 2) Salems Lot - The little boy,...

Heartburn Hotel

So, it’s Sunday night, and time to wind down in preparation for another satisfying week at the dream factory. I must admit to enjoying my weekends as I put myself into neutral and just try to unwind. I have Matthew and Eleanor on Sundays in addition to David, but I still manage to keep calm. Then,... Sign in to see full entry.

Is There No End to this Institution?

Well, it's February now. It must be…. what, six weeks since Christmas, and I had my Christmas pudding last night. Why do I bother? What is the point? I never eat the stupid thing at Christmas. And on another totally irrelevant point….whenever I try to type thing, I spell it wrong and it comes out... Sign in to see full entry.

Time Goes Quickly....When You're Having Fun

It is supposed to be a sign of getting old, when Policemen look younger. Imagine how I feel then, when not only sergeants, but also Inspectors look young. It’s true, as the years go on, they seem to go quicker and quicker, and before you can say “80’s Bar”, another few years have gone. And that’s... Sign in to see full entry.

The Demise of Stretch Armstrong

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that the toy bodybuilder, Stretch Armstrong, is dead. Stretch ceased to be this week, after a long battle as a result of injuries sustained in an attack during October of last year. Residing in the family home as a present, Stretch provided hours of...

Lost Friends

Don't you think it's sad when you loose touch with friends or family? People drift and go their separate ways. You make promises to see each other but the gaps in meetings grow larger and larger. I had a good friend who died a couple of years back. She was murdered. I mourned in my own way. I was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Customer is Always Right...but not in this Country

I went on a works away-day before Christmas (as it had been at least five weeks since the previous one). The plus side of these things are that we get treated to lunch. This we had at a place in Oldbury called the 'One and Two Halves'. As we were all having the Christmas Fayre (30 of us), it... Sign in to see full entry.

Lack of Inspiration

Well I’m sitting here trying to write, and all form of inspiration seems to have emigrated to somewhere else. I have Mathew and Eleanor tonight as well as David, and surprisingly, all are being golden. However, it would seem that all ideas have left me, possibly forever. I haven’t written a short...

The Idiots I Encounter in My Day to Day Life.

A small part of my job includes raising paperwork so cheques can be issued to people who we have to pay money to. Like any such procedure, nothing is simple and it has to be rubber stamped by everybody bar the cleaner. I raised a cheque for over £1000 for a guy a few months ago. The cheque came back...

The Fight Against the School

I feel shattered. Tomorrow I have an important meeting about my 7 year old and his schooling. You see he has Aspergers, which is a form of autism. Ha…Even the spell checker does not know what Aspergers is. He has mild learning difficulties and has problems fitting in within a strange environment. He... Sign in to see full entry.
