I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been filmed doing my job. Strange as it may sound, whenever television shows run any kind of footage involving radio presenters, it is more or less obligatory to include some cutaway shots of studio activity, normally involving such cliches as dancing [...]

Odd how these things seem to line up at times. Just a few weeks ago at my sisters wedding I was musing out loud how most of my past seemed to have been effortlessly discarded and how I had few or any contacts with people I once knew at school and grew up with. Out of the blue last month I suddenly [...]

Spending a week on the beach at present which is very nice and relaxing, so thank you for asking. This also of course affords the opportunity to examine ones soul, contemplate the deeper meanings of life and learn a few more truisms in the process.

“Write about Jade Goody next” was the request from one commenter below. Sadly I can’t as due to a combination of luck and good fortune and the fact she (thank heavens) is yet to kick a football in anger or sing a note I have yet to have any kind of encounter with her at all. Long may it remain that [...]

There are many excited people around the office today. This is because the latest company project has finally come to fruition.

Prices rise. Sure, the value of your investments can go down as well as up, as the financial adverts are so keen to advise us, but the one constant in life is that over the long term everything rises in price, if not necessarily in overall value. Any item you buy today can be assumed to have cost [...]

“Make yourselves comfortable, this could take some time” was my cheery cry to the last guests as they made their way up the path towards the church. Shit, why am I worrying? This isn’t my wedding after all. Still, knowing my family’s propensity for delay, plus the distance they have to travel, [...]

It is 7am and to say I am briefly confused is an understatement. Roused from slumber by some unknown factor, it takes me a few moments to work out a) why I can’t roll over and b) why I seem to be lying at the bottom of a giant rubber well.
