The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
This post dedicated to MK, who had quite a substantial dental op yesterday and came through it with flying colours
I have quite bad teeth, I will freely admit that and I am currently trying to pluck up the courage (and the money) to get them sorted out. A brief checkup revealed that fixing [...]
Ok, so getting back in “the game” is a little more difficult than you realise. Especially when you haven’t been in said game for quite some time and you are not quite the same person as you were when you were having moderate success.
So I have taken to trying to get inside the minds of [...]
.. of the stalker kind.
It is interesting to me what makes people tick. It is also interesting to me what goes through peoples minds sometimes.
Let me explain…and whilst I do I am aware that some of you reading this might consider this a good thing and others will think of me as an arsehole….you are [...]
So that pretty much sums up last weekend, thanks to German unification day, that started on Thursday night with a trip to watch The Wombats live.
Scousers singing…German beer - What more could a man want. Apparently he would want Calvados aswell as the beer….before the frickin’ gig. He would also want to be fashionably late…say..oh [...]
So over the last couple of weeks I have just been completely unable to get anything done at work. Either I have spent entire days in meetings, or when I am actually at my desk, operational things get the better of me and I don’t manage to get anywhere with my tasks.
I suppose these are [...]
Well, I am back from blighty (Britain to you non-natives out there) and I had a wonderful time. I still managed to put almost 1000 miles on the hire car…seems to be my lot in life I guess. What I did have though was an amazing weekend with my 4 (count ‘em) amazing kids.
Not a [...]
Let’s recap. I decided to give up smoking, exercise and diet… I thought things were going ok, not exactly easy, but ok.
The problem I have is that I have to take Zyban for the next 12 weeks to be sure I don’t start smoking again. Why is this a problem? Well, I am taking other [...]
Ok, I will admit that I got the idea for this post from another blog….I don’t remember the blog, just that they did a post about ouija boards when they were a kid.
This reminded me about the time at school when our R.E. Teacher (Religious Eductation) decided to cave to the constant questioning from us [...]
So another day, another passworded post. I was going to remove the last one, and in fact I did for a short while. But then I thought, screw it…noone can read it so it doesn’t matter. Then I went through some stuff last night and lo and behold…another one pops out this morning.
Feelings are strange [...]
So we have already established my fear of public speaking, and it got me thinking about other things and situations that keep me rooted to the spot.
How do you define a phobia? Wikipedia says “A phobia (from Greek: φόβος, phobos, “fear”), is an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or persons. The [...]
Is it bad when your boss starts sending emails that end with things like “Ask them to change it, but try and be nice”?
Sure, I can argue and I can do it pretty well. At work I can get quite aggressive, which is in direct contrast to what a soft cuddly teddy bear I am [...]
Ok…so 35 is round the corner. i know this as I have recently referred to myself as 34 and 11 12ths. When did this happen. I don’t feel 35, christ I don’t feel 34.
One of the key identifiers (of which there are numerous) is that I seem to be falling apart. I groan when I [...]
So the summer is kind of almost officially close to being nearby. Or at least that’s how I view it with the ever changing Frankfurt weather.
As pointed out by a friend, one of the best things about summer is how the women over here have a penchant for the G-String and white trousers combo. There [...]
Writer, director and occasional Silent Bob actor Kevin Smith said it best during his “An evening with Kevin Smith” DVD. He refers to using “Steal the thunder” humour, where he will put himself down about his weight etc, which leaves nothing for people to hit you with.
I have followed the same mantra for many years [...]
According to BBC News bloggers are being arrested all over the place. Sure, right now it is for what the authorities percieve as causing civil unrest. How long before I get arrested before causing people to riot in the desperate search for something actually funny?
It’s an interesting twist though when you think about it. Let’s [...]
When I lived in Germany as a kid, we lived at RAF Gutersloh. It was a bloody huge base and often ran joint exercises between the differing allied armed forces. Sometimes they were ground based and more often than not they were aerial dogfights.
During one of these huge aerial exercises, pilots from the UK, US, [...]
I hope not, although recently I seem to have caught an accute case of it. I had a great idea for a blog post on Saturday, but between having the idea and screwing my ankle (AGAIN!!!), by the time I got home I had forgotten it.
This is happening with monotonous regularity at the moment [...]
So there is a school of thought that American guys are nuts….and possibly a little gullible. Now, I can only speak from experience and conclude that they are generally no more so than any other guys.
That said, there is a particular group that have been known to frequent my living room from time to [...]
Holy crapola. I couldn’t sleep last night, so decided to watch a film. Lets pretend it was a cinema showing of a new(ish) film called “Beyond the ring” starring Andre Lima as himself. I “went to the cinema” to watch this film, as I saw a clip and it looked like it [...]

So I thought I would explain about the whole “Uncle Fester” thing..Although it could quite easily be about a shaved panda.
Many moons ago I was the main guy responsible for support of an up and coming software company. When we started having some serious issues. To cut a long story short, I ended up averaging [...]
