So… life and death in the times of Covid. I knew it would suck but fuuuuuuck it has been tough – though it’s been tough for everyone. Where to start then… well as I’m single still I suppose we could start with my ridiculous record during this time. 1 – BLM – starting with the […]
A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as the velocity of a body. In contrast, a scalar has magnitude only. I, as an individual, am aware of the scale of my magnitude. Having been around now for just over 35 years, I feel that I have a firm grasp of my capabilities – what […]
Back to work tomorrow, university assessment due on Wednesday. This weekend, instead of studying, I have found myself watching all Season 2 of After Life on Netflix (well worth a watch btw) and amazingly, plotting a walk across America… fucking America? That’s 3,100 miles. I’ve only managed to plan the route across two thirds of […]
“For the many, not the few” This is genuinely what I believe that Jeremy Corbyn offered the country, and let’s face it – I’m not even the biggest fan of him. I know of lifelong Tory voters who did in fact vote Labour because of the manifesto offered. How then did we lose this election […]
This week I started a new degree again… again. Had I persevered with the last one, it would have been completed by now; however, my student loan would have been much larger and I wouldn’t have been completely happy with the final degree. At least now I have managed to tweak it a bit […]

I have pub friends and work friends and colleagues I don’t really consider friends. There are people […]
One of my earliest memories, of just my Dad and me, is walking back from the library with a bag of books. I would have been about 9 and aside from me making really shitty jokes about “heavy reading” we also occasionally dipped into serious conversations. The kind of conversations that would make you think, […]
So back from two weeks in California and there are mixed thoughts… though mostly positive. Anyone who keeps track of my angry tweeting will be aware of my political leanings; however, now I feel that I can comment on certain things now that they have been experienced. Firstly, I have a new found love of […]
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Three weeks off in July and I’m actually making plans which is something I’ve not done in years. Goodbye, no doubt shite British summer. I shall be departing for a whirlwind 12 days in California. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I always feel I need at least […]
So I said that this post was going to be more insightful. I fibbed as I am currently a wee bit tipsy. I will, however, provide three shout outs as promised. – K.T. Joins the upper echelons of my favourite Irish person ever. I’ve known her since I was younger and more handsome in Tokyo. […]
