The Moon in the Marble Hall

After hearing that The Moon by Luke Jerram was coming to Wentworth Woodhouse I just had to get tickets. It wasn’t too expensive (under £10 a ticket) and I was certainly looking forward to seeing it. So rather than waffle on for ages… Here’s the gallery. What did I think? Well the Woodhouse is great.Continue reading “The Moon in the Marble Hall”

And the critics come forth…

Or at least just the one… “Why didn’t you wear the leather shirt and tie too?” Sorry chap, but it’s taken me all this time to summon up courage to wear a three piece suit in the presence of friends and now you’re criticising me for not enough leather? Support might be a better ideaContinue reading “And the critics come forth…”

So we didn’t win.

Even though it was a strong team and they were very strong against the very aggressive Italian players for 120 minutes, the England team lost on penalties yesterday. I’m actually quite pleased it went this way. Not for the team; I’m gutted for those guys who tried so hard. Not for the real fans (theContinue reading “So we didn’t win.”

So many followers, yet so little interaction

I bet I’m not the only one who tires of social media. Whilst I carry on writing what is in essence my diary or journal here (although I do have a private diary on Journal too) I don’t keep up to date with many of my follows. It’s remarkable how if I tag a postContinue reading “So many followers, yet so little interaction”

100,000 dead

Live Aid had two main events – London and Philadelphia. The London event held approximately 80,000; the Philadelphia event just over 100,000 due to the venue being much larger than Wembley at the time (it was held at the old Twin Towers Wembley which was a predominantly a football venue). The Philadelphia event photo aboveContinue reading “100,000 dead”

We Won

I was recently “put in my place” on Facebook by a “true patriot”. The term I would have used is flag wanker. You can pretty much imagine the profile I clicked through to – Union Jack’s, poppies, and a whole barrage of incorrectly used apostrophes. Below is an example of the typical post I wasContinue reading “We Won”

Why?

I know the guy who did this. He’s a major Dunning-Krueger candidate. Everything I’ve seen him do is not quite right, and yet he thinks he’s a great all round builder. He’s also a massive racist and Brexit supporting gammon.

Idiots.

Idiots shouldn’t be touching fire alarm panels. Today’s idiot had tried moving devices into different zones on an Advanced 4000 series using the on screen prompts rather than by plugging in a laptop. He’d then realised it was going to take in excess of 12 hours and quoted as such. I completed the job inContinue reading “Idiots.”

The morning after the night before

Last night we might have celebrated a little. Half a bottle of bucks fizz (the really nice M&S stuff) to see off the orange turd. The worry is that I now see troubled times ahead for the USA. Trump has enabled the MAGA idiots and given them the feeling of power that they don’t deserveContinue reading “The morning after the night before”

Nevada 🤞

I have my fingers firmly crossed that Nevada goes blue. One state. 6 electoral college seats, and Biden gets the Whitehouse. Sadly I don’t think this is the end of this. MAGA nutters are motivated and thick. It’s flag wanking on an industrial scale. What does really disgust me, though, is that with all TrumpContinue reading “Nevada 🤞”
