Weird, and I’m not sure if it’s real, but strangely entertaining if you get past the slow start. Not for the faint-hearted or squeamish!

I love The X-Factor - good, easy to watch, Saturday night entertainment. However up until last night I’d been pretty disappointed with this series - there was no-one I was really rooting for, only one person I definitely am not rooting for (his name begins with an ‘R’).
However last week, I thought two acts were [...]

Apparently commenting was not working great here for the last couple of days, but after I was having problems, it now seems to work fine in Safari and Firefox. Drop me a line if you are having trouble!

Belfast now has a big wheel! Just like the London Eye, except smaller. It still looks quite high though, and I think I may be tempted to go up for a ride in it. Obviously it would be great to take a lady up there and show her the sights (ahem) but I might just [...]

Yes, after three years of having a rubbish phone (well rubbish after three years), I splashed out and bought an iPhone on O2’s £45 tariff which gives me 500 minutes and 500 texts a month, with unlimited Internet access. I’ve had it two weeks now, and am pretty used to it. There’s some things I [...]

She was working late, so I [...]

In a unusual moment of not being bothered to cook, and being absolutely ravenous, I went for an Indian takeaway this evening. Whilst waiting on my order, the barman struck up a conversation - the subject flow (entirely driven by him I may add) went thus….
Mick Hucknall > Pornography > penis size
I think it will [...]

How’s that for an attention grabbing headline! Yes, I think I am becoming addicted to making bread. So far I have made rolls, bagels, naan bread and a loaf, and I cannot explain how easy and relaxing it is. It’s also nice because bread you buy in shops is pumped full of chemicals to make [...]

I had a bit of an unpleasant experience a couple of weeks ago that saw me end up in casualty (that’s ER if you’re in America!)
I’d been out for lunch with a colleague, and had a nice tuna steak sandwich. Ten minutes later, and back at the office, I was absolutely roasting hot. I mentioned [...]
