Hi all. I hope you’re all good, ladies. And I hope you’re all good, fellas. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be retired. Everything about it seems like it would suit me. I’m not someone who gets bored easily, and having time on my hands is something I really enjoy (notContinue reading “Retirement Fun”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. We recently celebrated Bonfire Night/Firework Night/Guy Fawkes Day here in the UK.

I suppose the concept of a work/life balance has always existed (from as long as there have been jobs anyway). InContinue reading “All Work and No Play”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. Today’s blog will be quite serious in nature, as I look into the difference between being found ‘not guilty’ and being innocent. I will also talk about the nuances around the law and morals. Trigger warning: I will be talking about rape at various points. Nothing graphic atContinue reading “Not Guilty”

What it is, good people? Boogie on down to my blog about the afro. Can you dig it? Any of you jive-turkeys that ain’t picking up what I’m putting down, get to steppin’! Ok, I think we’ll leave the 70s slang there. One thing I haven’t left in the 70s is the afro, a hairstyleContinue reading “That 70s Fro”

Hi all. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re utilising the power of the Internet. I suppose it’s possible that people loved this blog so much that they printed off a load of hard copies and stuck them up in town centres and pubs so that the masses could enjoy… but let’s be realistic. I’veContinue reading “What a Scammy Man”

Hi all. I hope you’re all well. I myself am a little peeved. Why? It’s all to do with Bob Marley, pronunciation, and a certain former South African president. What, that wasn’t enough of an explanation? Fine, I’ll explain properly below. Enjoy! Firstly, allow me to explain about a phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect.Continue reading “A Mandela Ting”
