Ouch I stubbed my brain…

I can’t remember the last time I used the ‘maths’ part of my brain. I fear atrophy is rife. A small withered lump of dry gristle now dwells where a toned rippling muscle once stood tall. Armed with a piece of paper, a tape measure, a big pile of timber and a scientific calculator my [...]

Hmm not too sure…

I have absolutely no idea what I am going to type… I heard an inference the other day after a rant about shoes that it would probably appear in a post a few days later. All I said was that you can tell a lot about a country by it’s ‘shoe policy’. For example – [...]

Two bees or not two bees…

Einstein (obviously a genius in and out of the surf) was allegedly heard muttering a somewhat sweeping statement about the state of the universe during an all night drinking binge in a Yates wine lodge in Preston high street.
