The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
Photo by ShellyS…it all comes to an end.
No, no, this is not a maudlin post about breaking up or getting some sort of terminal disease. I am referring, of course, to my removal from the unemployed masses and placement directly outside them again. I have indeed gone and gotten myself gainfully employed again.
I am actually [...]
Photo by 96dpiNow I am not talking about Mini Coopers, gold heists and blowing the bladdy doors off. I am talking about a short, 2100KM, drive from Frankfurt to Alassio and back.
Ah yes..a journey starting with amazing autobahns and ending in the land of Ferarri and Lamborghini. The problem, though, was that a good portion [...]
…tis true. Years ago, I was working for a software house in Cheltenham. During this time the company were undergoing some major changes, including shutting down an office in Surrey and moving operations to Cheltenham. This meant getting 2 new buildings and setting them up from scratch. During this time we had mucho fun [...]
So…when you put yourself out there and write for the whole world to see (if you count the whole world to consist of 3 people), you get slated (a lot), compliments (a lot less) and requests.
I can handle being slated, have trouble taking compliments (a British thing) and am slightly bemused by requests.

So [...]
So I went out last night for Hs birthday. We went to an olde worlde German restaurant where a number of us were instantly of the opinion that we must eat Bambi.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not an emotionless vessel of hate (not right now anyway)….I can get upset at films, books, people [...]
So let’s face it – My social life is pretty good these days. I have a lot of friends and I live above the best Irish bar in Frankfurt. Well, I claim that they are all my friends, as they spend most of their drinking lives in my living room…..
My capacity for beer has reached [...]
So, whilst SPs decline from the dizzy heights of casanovadom continues at a rapid rate of knots….he does still have his moments.
This report was submitted to LW headquarters by our roving field reporter GF.
The location:Â Daves living room (AKA the Anglo Irish)
Those present:Â SP, GF and a random American Marine
Details are sketchy as to how [...]
I don’t remember where I heard that phrase, but it is true don’t you think….sometimes you are the dog, other times you are the hydrant.
