With Wimbledon on full knacker at the moment, I thought it would be nice to bin the clammy media sweatband that girdles Tennis today and leap back to the glamour years. For me, there is only one brand in tennis that has managed to succeed in blurring the corners of both game functionality and ‘off-the-court’ [...]

Way back in yesteryear when I couldn’t reach the top of the fridge (where the biscuits lived) and when TV’s had wooden bits on them, I would wrestle with time until Sesame Street came on. It somehow felt as though Sesame Street was dealing cards that had already been dealt, but nevertheless, it provided decent [...]

After watching the BBC’s ‘Secret Life of Airports‘ on iplayer today, I was awed by the gleaming luxury,  the servile perfection and the absolute deistic grace of the De Havilland Comet.

With an over-active mind and the remnants of half a bag of Haribo in my bloodstream, it seems imminent that I’m not going to get an early night tonight. Luckily for me, I came across a blog entitled Things to look at, which apart from sounding attractively like a Ladybird book, seems like the perfect [...]

In the misty hazes of this cool Summer morning, most of us in the UK were discussing our worries of the results of last night’s local elections. In such dark and troubled times when it seems we have forgotten ourselves and Politicians are left to run amok, I turn to the one TV program that [...]
