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. His mouth was slightly tainted with extra hot chillies from a rather tired looking doner kebab… Continue reading Two bees or not two bees…
Stop your ferreting…
I’ve put all my recent widgets onto one page with a link in the main menu. Just so’s you don’t have to go ferreting around looking for them! Of course if ferreting around in my archive is what keeps your plimsole line above sea level then please ferret away – I don’t mind. In fact… Continue reading Stop your ferreting…
Some days the spark seems to have gone…
A stormy day that never quite happened. The air seemed to get heavier and thicker and the clouds were brewing up for a spectacular light show.

Free at last…
Well the day has to come when your cute ickle baby bird becomes a big spotty manly bird and you have to boot his ugly arse out of the homestead. Years spent nurturing and loving seem to be thrown back with no gratitude or grace. I gave him everything I had – my love, my… Continue reading Free at last…
Flat as a witches tit…
A well known Devonian phrase for describing a completely waveless oceanic state. However – I know a couple of witches and to be fair they are quite bountiful in the nork department and (as was pointed out to me just the other day) if one was a witch (a hypothetical situation as I am obviously… Continue reading Flat as a witches tit…
