Firstly, ‘Happy New Year’ and all that. Now for today’s blog…
As the clocks struck midnight, I looked out of my flat window to see all the fireworks being set off by people who enjoy burning their money. Along with the customary display of colourful explosions, I noticed a mass of glowing, flying objects in the night’s sky. If I was more imaginative, or had drank a lot more, I would have got excited at the thought The X-Files coming true. However, I was shamefully sober enough to realise that these were Chinese Lanterns, which have been on sale at Play.com and the likes.
This is the first time I have seen so many of these oriental lanterns being released at one time. Is this some craze I have missed? I am sure I have heard somewhere that you are supposed to make a wish as the flying fireball is released into the atmosphere. I would like to know, what holy being receives the wish and how they decide if it should be granted.
Take for example Dave in London. He wishes that Arsenal will win the Premier League. However, at the same time Mike in Plymouth makes a wish that Manchester United win the title. Somebody is going to be left crying. What about Alan who wants world peace – will that be contradicted by Osama’s wish for death to all mankind?
If I was to make a wish, it would be that one of the burning, petrol fuelled balloons did not fall into the garden and burn the flat down. Judging by the number of lanterns I could see crash landing, I would imagine the fire brigade had a busy night.

- What Have They Done To My Flat?
My former flat, where I lived between 2007 and 2013, looks to be for sale!
I thought that I would let you all know, in case I have a stalker, who wishes to live in my former home and has a spare £180k lying around.

We turned it off an on again.

We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected. Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life. The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
