The detritus of life
October 30th, 2007I was reading today about an 87 year old man who had died. Unremarkable so far. This man, a Mr Sheilds kept the biggest diary in the world. Since the age of 54 he wrote an entry about his life in 5 minute segments. What the hell was he thinking. He said himself “perhaps […]
S A D
October 29th, 2007So the clocks have gone back,yippee. This is the first year that i have really felt what a stupid idea. I have 2 real problems with the end of British Summer time. Firstly its the idea that our day may end at 3:30 in the depths of winter. How the hell does that help […]
Yanks
October 28th, 2007Its time toget our own back on yankisation of oursports. Lets stage footie matches in the US some say. No lets stage more American rugby matches here and market them as so. Big american rugby girls with their shoulder pads and helmets. Bet they dont want to harm their pretty boys looks. Pah. Great […]
SURF LOVER
October 26th, 2007Had my best surf for years today. I was out for almost 3 hours in playful surf of no more then 1 - 2 feet. My last surf was not a pleasant experience as i was pummeled and beaten upon as a result of my being out of shape (read FAT armed). Todays surf […]
THE PLACE
October 24th, 2007The place on gos good earth which i wish mself to be more than any other is somewhere on or between Pendour and Porthglaze coves. One is like Jurassic park minus the beasties, while the other is a jewel. I’ll let you find out which is which. I have spent all too short a […]
Bonkers
October 22nd, 2007I have had lots of waking up in dream like states uttering rubbish. I woke up the other morning after dreaming i was being attacked by a monkey, fully expecting to be confronted by a primate. I have woken up expecting to see people and ask where they are. Bonkers. I like that word.
Reading
October 20th, 2007I have just about finished reading my second book of the year. Yes i know its October, but i’m just not a big reader. Sure i read magazines (Surfer, Time out and Vice being my favourites) but i’m always too busy to read. I am also not the speediest of readers. Now i have […]
Lacking
October 16th, 2007 Rather ironically since we changed the website to make it easier to blog etc i have blogged less. Many apologies for the lack of blog recently. I will now return to blogging every other day (for those 2 soles who may be interested).
I have finally done something else i have meant to do for […]
Migraine
October 8th, 2007HAd a mind blowing migraine yesterday. Literally. It felt like someone had taken an axe and lopped it into the top of my head, splitting it from back to near the front. I was sure something was pushing out of my ears and it hurt to do anything. Unfortunately i was amid painting the […]
Rotting flesh
October 5th, 2007My son came upto me in the garden today and said ‘whats that’ as he does a lot. As i looked i replied ‘I don’t know’ with a gulp. He was pointing to a rotting piece of meat the size of my hand (a steak of some sort with a bone through it - […]

Please come any other time though for a cuppa and a biccie. Never know, i might make some cake. Oh you […]
Invisible
October 2nd, 2007I seem to have developed the uncanny ability to become invisible whilst riding to work. On each journey lately it appears that at least 2 soles are unable to see me. This power works on pedestrians as well as it does on car and lorry drivers. If only it worked when down the pub. […]
