On the bright side.

They reckon that all this being locked indoors is going to be the spark that lights millions of creative fires across the world and that our inner artists will be unleashed for all to behold. That might be the case, but so far all I can see are some lame rainbows stuck in front windows […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 3.

To begin at the beginning is one way of doing it but why not add a splash of original and pick up Part 3 at the beginning instead and with, as they say in the alphabet police, ‘A’. ‘A’ has always had the monopoly on all things first class, whereas ‘1’ can sometimes just be […]

Due to coronavirus.

Surely the three most redundant words on the planet right now. Used to cap off every headline and every shock statistic and every grim revelation with every sincere face every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The crap out there is just running on a loop and at some point something […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 2.

Working from home has been more time consuming than I had imagined and what I thought would be a ripe opportunity for writing has quietly dribbled past. But I’m up to date right now and so shall continue my Coronavinyl Revival whereby I drift aimlessly through my vinyl collection while you yawn and go back […]

Your one form of exercise a day.

Joe Wicks must be loving all this. With everyone confined to their homes he is starting to become the man who would be king. If his home workout videos spread far and wide enough and then he becomes and MP he’s a shoo in for next Prime Minister. Of course strictly speaking only a maximum […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 1.

Music has to be ordered by necessity. It might be all very quirky and eccentric having lots of music in no particular order but it becomes nightmarish whenever you’re looking for something specific. Trust me, I’ve tried. Some dicks order their collections by genre or theme first but that’s just stupid because music is music […]

Introducing The Coronavinyl Revival.

One of the benefits of what we’re going through at the moment is that it gives one time to appreciate all that you have accumulated, but have never had time to properly appreciate. Everyone has their own little box of treasures and I’m no different. For me it’s a wardrobe of well pressed work shirts […]

On eggs.

More than toilet roll, the humble egg has really shone a light on the supply and demand balance in this country. We have two big supermarkets and two locals near us and I’ve not seen a single hens eggs in any of them for more than a week. Include two farm shops on top of […]

A message from home.

There is a word for working at home. It is a universal word that is widely recognised (as in universal) from the remote Inuit tribes of way up in Canada to groups of cut off Amazonian Indians to those crazy motherfuckers on North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean who are so insular and murderous […]

The Art Of Staying Positive.

It’s not all doom and gloom out there you know. You have to find the positives from situations like this (I can’t even write the word anymore) and to do so one must first look. It’s not as if there’s much else to do anymore. Wifey broke the news to me gently yesterday morning and […]
