Wow. You kinda forget how much social networks are part of your life until they are taken from you. Imagine you cannot check your email, or ever receive a SMS ever again…well that’s what it felt like when twitter put me on their naughty step for a week. Sad?? Maybe. But not in my eyes, … Continue reading »
My perspective on perspectives.. I’ve spent the last couple of years thinking about my perspective on life. I’ve had a very mixed set of experiences over a very short period of time – started work, got married, started a family, went through family health problems, put weight on, lost weight, cared for partner through heart … Continue reading »
A Pro Footballers view on the game
Most of you know that I’m a QPR fan…and this is QPR related – ISH. Ex- QPR player Richard Langley has been penning his views on his new blog. And, it makes for riveting reading. Yes, from a QPR fans point of view it’s obviously interesting (especially as Langers is an R) but I think generally this blog will be appreciated by all. Gives a great insight into how footballers think and also into the world they live in. You can follow Richard on twitter here as well ….https://twitter.com/#!/langers1979 When he finally hangs up his boots, I fully expect to see him as a pundit on a screen near you soon
No doubt from some tweeters and various QPR messageboards I’ll get some grief for this but, to be blunt I have had enough of Joey Barton and his twitter antics. I was one of the first UK subscribers to twitter. Indeed, when it started here it was like a private members club with a few … Continue reading »
A few minutes after the Royal Wedding I posted a picture. Saying “I knew the doctor wouldn’t miss this”. I lost count of it’s retweets but the initial picture had 1, 395 views…which was nice. Being a Dr Who fan and a Royalist, well, it kinda made sense..
OK, I did actually nick the basis of this idea from the amazing Bangs and a Bun blog, but added my own twist as such. What I thought I’d do is publish my favourite Top Ten tweets @ me each week. Now, obviously twitter is all about context so, some of these may make jack shit sense. … Continue reading »
Well, I don’t really know how to start this post, I just know I havent posted for a bit and well…this week deserves an update I’d say. So, where the heck do I start? OK Lets be positive – I have a frigging job. Not what I was looking for in any way shape or … Continue reading »
Suppose yesterday should really go down as a page or so in the book but, I thought I’d bung it on here. Well, 2nd March, 2011 the day I turned 33 and the day I had no home, no paying job, no kids, no car, no cash card, no TV and…anyway you get the jist..twas … Continue reading »
Well, as I sit here wondering where I’m sleeping in a few days and answering emails about my situation, I’m thinking about Social Media…how its changed our lives and how thus far, it’s basically saved mine. And well, I can’t be bothered to be stressed tonight or check how well badly the 50p fund is … Continue reading »
Well, here’s an experiment in “Social Capital”. As long time readers of this blog know I’m now in a situation where I’m both homeless and jobless (book writing aside) I’m busting my backside to find a job, any fucking job, which has accommodation included. I’m doubtful that there’s a pub in London that hasn’t seen … Continue reading »
Well, here’s a new experience to add to the book. I spent the other day with an undercover journalist inside Guy Ritchie’s mansion. Here’s not the place to go into how I was with a BBC journo but well, so far he’s the only journalist to actually get into the squat, let alone get any … Continue reading »
Well here I am in a Weatherspoons treating myself to a £2.20 pint of piss beer. In fairness this aint too bad a pub as it goes and most of my day has been spent talking to landlords co-coincidently. Yeah, I know I should probably not be spunking a couple of quid on a pint … Continue reading »
Well, there we go, 2010 is over. Now, dear readers, I hope your 2010 was amazing as, I hope your 2011 is as well. But for me, well, 2010 was a complete and utter cunt. Now, that’s pretty well documented on here, twitter, facebook and well…that old fashioned thing of actual face to face conversation! … Continue reading »
Ok for those of you that don’t know what the fuck Movember is let me explain before I rant on… In November men are encouraged to not shave their tash in aid of charity, specifically, for prostate cancer. Now this appealed to me on two levels….. One being charity, those of you that know me … Continue reading »
Right, well, its stoopid o’clock in the morning and I should be asleep, the reason I’m not is that as soon as I wake up I have to get up and I can’t ever get back to sleep. This morning I woke at 5. So, I had to get up at 5 – I fucking … Continue reading »
It’s my forte. Since time began I’ve been “online”. Back in the days of dial-up I was part of a QPR email list where you would download all the emails, maybe reply to one or two, re connect the modem and send the replies…since then I’ve been on all the QPR messageboards that have appeared … Continue reading »
