This year, I have blogged for you all 188 times – this will be the 189th. You’re welcome. Feel free to thank me with chocolate, sweets, PlayStation 4 games and money. I accept PayPal.
If you haven’t been following my blog this year, fear not – here is a summary of 2019…
Happy New Year.
January
- Like everyone does every year and will be doing tomorrow, I made a New Year’s Resolution. Mine was to blog more. I blogged just 78 times in 2017, so, remarkably, I stuck to it!
- I became far too excited – or X-cited – about the new season of X Files. Such a geek.
- A former Bath City player scored against Leeds in the FA Cup. Who hasn’t?
- We bought something amazing for our new house – a dishwasher!
- I won the lottery. Kind of.
- Leeds managed to humiliate their fans on a massive scale (again), with an appalling new badge.
- I lost and eventually found my prized autographs.
February
- Clips of Red Dead Redemption 2 were released. That game didn’t amount to anything in the end.
- One of the best culinary creations ever went on sale at Morrisons – the Yorkshire Pudding Pizza. You can no longer buy these. No idea why.
- I showed off the wonderful view from the bedroom window of our (then) new house.
- Some girl’s hamster met an untimely end.
- There was some very sad news, about a former Leeds player.
- The hygiene habits of fellow diners upset me so much, it drove me to blog.
- I declared a ceasefire in my war against a supermarket.
- The residents of Bath lost their minds over the local wildlife.
- The weather became very cold…
March
- … and colder still.
- So much so, all my blogs for March were about snow, snow and more snow.
April
- I made two life changing additions to my life. A mobility scooter…
- and better still – a house rabbit named Roman!
May
- I got distracted by blogging, by this little cherub.
- There was a rat on my decking, what was I going to do? Not play a UB40 record.
June
Zero blogs this month – and with very good reason…
I was signed off sick from work in May. I had felt rotten for months and everything came to a head one day, when I decided I could no longer cope, physically or mentally. I initially thought that the stresses of moving, five months earlier, were a contributory factor, with rest and relaxation being the best cure.
It turns out that things were a lot more sinister than just being run down. As the weeks off work continued, my health worsened. Everyday tasks, some as simple as eating, became a huge effort. It was at that point, I was admitted to hospital…
July
- I revealed all, in what I feel was one of the most personal blog posts I have ever written.
- While in hospital, I became very upset with the physiotherapists.
- I returned home from hospital, but remarkably England were yet to return home from the World Cup.
- The weather became horrendously hot.
- I discovered the joys of hospital transport.
- Another sticker album for an international football tournament was finished.
August
- Roman lost his manhood and wasn’t well as a result.
- He got his revenge a few days later.
- I used my time off work productively, by watching lots of television.
- Roman’s behaviour got worse.
- I received a large financial payout.
- The first spider of the year was spotted. Sadly, not the last.
- We discovered he joys of Deliveroo.
September
- Our bathroom received a makeover – going from this to this.
- We were supposed to be on holiday 🙁
- I became a spy…
- … a vegetarian spy!
- Despite turning veggie, I still hunted spiders.
- I had my first haircut in months.
- Roman became the most spoilt rabbit in the world.
- I wrote a huge blog on McDonalds. Such a weirdo.
October
- Roman was placed on a (forced) diet.
- I revealed 10 of my greatest secrets…
- … as well as listing things that make me happy.
- A Leeds player said a naughty word.
- My new-found vegetarianism caused problems for the staff at McDonalds.
- We discovered the reasons behind Roman’s weight gain and bad behaviour.
- Our household was rocked by the third spider attack of the year.
- I developed a drug problem…
- … but managed to return to work, after sickness.
- I won a prize!
- The McDonalds staff had their revenge.
- I got really excited over a video game (it’s not JUST a video game!).
- Our boiler broke on a freezing cold day. Typical.
- There was tragic news from Leicester.
- I embraced the autumnal evenings.
November
- I got up close and personal with Roman.
- The annual firework displays passed, without causing our bunny any stress.
- Harry Redknapp entered ‘The Jungle‘.
- Our house was invaded by yet MORE spiders!
- I had a bad morning.
- I declared war on Virgin Media.
- I had more fun as a hospital outpatient.
- I reminded myself why I don’t go to supermarkets.
December
- My wife joined me in the 30’s Club.
- We did some cooking, which didn’t involve a microwave.
- Somehow I was persuaded to visit another supermarket.
- The country went bonkers over Brexit.
- I realised that I was taking Red Dead Redemption 2 a little too seriously.
- Leeds United’s success started to worry me. Don’t worry – they’ve since lost.
- I finally completed RDR2.
- Roman dressed up for Christmas.
- Those pesky spiders continued to terrorise us…
- … and Roman got a new job.

- Ranting And Raving
There was an illegal rave in Bath last night.
Judging by the reaction of local residents on social media, this was undoubtedly the biggest event to take place here since Asterix visited the City in 50 BC.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority have been condemning the rave, with any excitement the result of outrage and not illegal drugs... - Anniversary 2020
Over 12 years ago, Claire and I entered into a relationship together which would change our lives forever. Five years ago today, we tied the knot, becoming Mr and Mrs Kitson, in what remains by far the happiest day of my life
During the five years as husband and wife, we have had to overcome what... - 4,384 Days Later…
Twelve years ago yesterday, Bath City took on Sutton United in their penultimate game of the football season.
Sutton were rock bottom of the league and had already been relegated. City knew that by beating the sorry team from Surrey, they would go a long way into securing a place in the playoffs.
It was supposed to... - Too Posh To Wipe?
Even those Bath residents upper class enough to shop at Sainsbury's, have started wiping their own backsides. Presumably a bidet doesn't remove ones poop as effectively as toilet tissue, and with Mabel the Maid off sick with coronavirus, Lord and Lady Muck have to wipe their own bottoms. See... not one sheet left! ...
- F’ing Fireworks
Fireworks. Pretty impressive. They could even be considered beautiful. They're definitely fun!
Fun for some, maybe.
If you are a pet owner, it is terrible. If you are an animal, it must be absolutely terrifying.
Imagine living in a warzone, not knowing if a bomb is going to flatten your home, killing you and your family. I can...
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.
