On a recent weekend evening I was walking back to my car after a trip to that shop in New Malden formerly known as Threshers (I know it has changed hands but I can never remember the new name), and as I gripped my recently purchased bottle of wine, it has to be said I [...]

In the very near future, seeing this film is definitely on the cards:
The ‘Dark Knight’ movie has a lot going for it in my humble opinion, not least because of the very wise casting of this lovely lady:
Maggie Gyllenhaal
The venue of choice is my local cinemaplex, the Rotunda, in Kingston upon Thames. I don’t know [...]

Did you see the BBC trailer for the Beijing Olympics that was played on TV before the start of the games? It was a mini cartoon featuring some caricatured animals, which looked to be trying to fight some monster sized beast, all to the sound of an oriental operatic tune. It was only when a [...]

Something is definitely up. It didn’t happen suddenly - it kind of crept up, catching me out completely after it had happened. The other day, on returning home after a few beers and some high octane games of Pool at the pub, I got that familiar feeling of the munchies. Not in itself that surprising, [...]

Don’t worry - this is not about the inane 1990’s daytime TV quiz (whatever did happen to Henry Kelly?), but what could happen to me fairly soon.
aspirations…
I have an outside chance of getting something that has been eluding me for well over a year - a place in the Squash Gold Leagues at my local [...]

Yes you’ve guessed it - the title is a line from that incredibly cheesy Eighties song (’Tears for Fears’ have a lot to answer for)!, and if you are anything like me, now it’s been remembered, you probably won’t be able to get the irritating tune out of your head for at least a week!
It [...]

The signs were not good. One wrong move in a squash game had caused severe pains at the base of my back, which were showing little signs of abating. This was the unwelcome scenario that faced me at the start of this year, and to cut a long storey fairly short, I went to see [...]

I know it sounds like a bad seventies song title (if it isn’t, it probably should be), but the title of this is all about the significance of the following event:
The other day I was the lucky recipient of a red lollipop! I got this via a mate who said he was told to pass [...]

Well…I made it there and back!
Skansen Girl in traditional costume
To be honest, I wasn’t really anticipating any problems for my Stockholm trip - the only real concern I had was whether I would ever see my luggage again after trustingly handing it over to the airport staff at Heathrow Terminal 5. As it turned out, [...]

If you want to pick up a DVD, CD, or even the odd bit of foodstuff, this place is really hard to beat in terms of venue, especially if you’re from my part of SW London:
I find myself making the short drive from New Malden to Kingston-Upon-Thames most Saturday afternoons, and after a whistle stop [...]
