Last night I fell asleep watching the final leaders debate on iPlayer…this morning having woke up earlier than I’d wanted I finished off watching the debate and feel that whilst I’ve learned a lot through the debates things aren’t much clearer. There’s been so much stuff to take in with this election stuff it’s difficult   Read More …

I’ve had the King Blues album ‘Save the world, get the girl’ playing in my car over the last few days and it’s a fantastic album. The last track is about 7 minutes long and is titled ‘What if punk never happened?’…it’s not a musically great song but lyrically it is one of my favourite   Read More …

I’ve just returned from the gym and there’s one thing that never fails to baffle me about it…the changing rooms! I’m not a stranger to changing rooms with showers…even changing rooms with communal showers, after all they were present in the school changing rooms back in the day but no one ever used them! My   Read More …

Back in 2003 the Christian band Five Iron Frenzy called it a day…played their last gig at Filmore (USA) and the 9 piece band separated…I was 17 and had never heard of the band. It wasn’t until I was introduced to them by Ben & Hayley individually in 2004 that I eventually purchased their EP   Read More …

I’ve never been particularly enthusiastic about sports. When I was a child I used to play rounders with a local church group, I spent a month or so with cricket lessons before realising I wasn’t manly enough for a wooden ball to come hurtling at me and of course at primary school I spent a   Read More …

I’ve always been a little wary about posting a blog on politics largely because I find it difficult to engage with politics, I don’t have the patience (or passion) to read through policies and manifestos and whilst I believe that those who have the right to vote should vote I sometimes wonder how much difference   Read More …

Last night Jo and myself went to Manchester to see The King Blues play on their headline tour. I got into The King Blues just over a year ago and love their blend of ska and acoustic punk combined with fantastic, passionate lyrics. I first saw The King Blues back in September as part of   Read More …

So in the last week in my blogging break I’ve been to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Sheffield, South Cave and London…lots of wedding planning done, lots of potential blogs thought of but I’ve resisted the temptation to blog…until now! I have a love/hate relationship with London…I got quite used to the business of our capital city   Read More …

So here we are…47 Days after the beginning of lent and we celebrate that Jesus has risen from the tomb, we can go back to the things we did before lent (good news for those chocolate lovers perhaps!) and I can go back to not constantly thinking ‘what shall I blog next?’. I’ve got a   Read More …

Having been out last night, got in at half 2, watched the new Ashes to Ashes on iPlayer and then slept I didn’t awake until half 11 this morning…I crawled out of bed, went to the gym and now I’m sat at home typing this before heading out to Beverley for a couple of hours.   Read More …

As I drove past Morrisons yesterday on my way home from my gym I realised that it had almost been 6 weeks since I stepped foot inside my little local supermarket and I realised that come Sunday I could break my fast of supermarkets…the thing is the majority of me doesn’t want to! When I   Read More …

I’ve been aware of the punk rock band Alkaline Trio for a few years no but I’ve never got around to listening to them…I don’t know why but for some reason it never happened…until last week! I stumbled across a video of them playing their new single ‘This Addiction’ on the Letterman show so thought   Read More …
