I sat there, my head in my hands, feeling nothing short of mortified. With the feeling of helplessness setting in, a single tear rolled down my cheek and on to the table. This was my hell... My mom had just served up dinner and had enthusiastically pushed the plate towards me. But upon seeing what... Continue Reading →
So there we were. Two children, stood in front of a rather fancy looking patisserie counter, confronted by a perplexed (and by now mildly annoyed) looking French lady with her hands on her hips. But how did we get to this point?...Allow me to explain. I forget the year... but we’ll say it was around... Continue Reading →
As a kid, I’d always fancied myself as being a bit like Bruce Willis. Not in a creepy ‘Sixth Sense’ or ‘Look Who’s Talking’ kind of way... specifically in a ‘Die Hard’ kind of way!

She would suddenly appear in front of me, once a week on a Saturday evening, in a plume of colourful smoke. And she was absolutely ‘bloody’ terrifying! One minute I’m chilling in front of the TV, watching ‘Blind Date’ with our’ Cillar or the homoerotic muscle-fest ‘Man O Man’ (a retro throwback that demands a... Continue Reading →
To be fair, it was coming straight for him...what else was he supposed to do?! It stooped and stared, and scratched at the ground as it prepared to attack. It was an old fashioned ‘stare off’, the aggressor plotting as it’s victim was frozen in fear. And then, quick as a flash, it lunged for... Continue Reading →
Boobs! There’s no other way of putting it. A great big pair of boobs. Right in my eye line. I felt almost guilty... I was stood next to my wife, who was busy having a conversation with an Estate Agent, and I was unable to take my eyes of this other woman’s chest. In fairness... Continue Reading →
