Most pictures of me from childhood are instantly recognisable, but not this one, or not to me, at least.
Who is that sparky-looking child with the cheeky grin? The crazy cow-lick fringe marks this out as being most definitely me (that and the very helpfully scribbled, ‘me’ on the back!), but this is not how I […]

In order to ‘celebrate’ (ahem) the madness that is the first day of term at work, I thought I would post this picture of me, taken on what I have been told is my first day at school. It seems crazy to me that there would have been photographs on the first day. Just […]

My little brother (he of the natty turn of phrase) turns 26 today. He’s celebrating in the traditional way - somewhere in a bar in Prague with a group of friends drinking too much.
It wasn’t always this way. He used to be a cute, adorable, clean living boy before being recruited as an […]

I have been tagged! It would seem churlish not to participate so here are five things most people don’t know about me. They might not be true.
I am one of a rare breed. Back when I was a civil servant, I organised a piss-up in a brewery - and let’s face it, there […]
