  • Take a nice photo!

    We were watching TV after getting a new inhaler at the doctor, and I enjoyed the fact for once, he was calm. He then spied the picture and demanded “a nice one, I’ll give you cuddles” He can be an affectionate wee boy at times.

  • This Is Going To Hurt

    I’ve known about this book from when it was published but mainly due to the fact that I rarely (if ever) read books, it took me until getting it for Christmas this year to read it. No idea how it took me this long to read it but I've just finished it. Now I understand…

  • How do you wear your Watch?

    My brother, who works in a phone shop, upon seeing my Apple Watch orientation “that’s against the Apple Style guidelines, crown should be on the right”. 😒 Alright, I’ll just wait it upside down ya frumpet.

  • I used to be a poker dealer…

    Last night I was at the new Water’s Edge place to deal some poker for a work function. Aside from the odd double/triple pot where calculations were… difficult, it was really fun. The people seemed to enjoy it, even if I dealt the founder out on a very early hand… and had no idea who…
