Although it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey here at the moment, the seagulls are insisting on doing their wooing thing. The noise reminds me of ‘that’ scene from When Harry Met Sally … if Sally had strep. Perhaps, what I had assumed were bird droppings on the new [...]

I miss my childhood doctor. You really felt he’d done a proper job after he’d peered into and probed every orifice, depressed your tongue with a wooden spatula leaving a splinter half way down your throat, and then sent you on your way clutching a bottle of medicine that tasted like a combination of nitric acid [...]

This is my Do Do list, a very different animal from my To Do list. These are things I used to want to do but don’t any more.

2. Go on safari. I’d spend all [...]

Many years ago I was sent on a team building weekend. I was running a youth centre at the time where, quite frankly, the ability to play table tennis and looking concerned were the only skills needed.
Anyhoo, one of the exercises on this exciting and fulfilling course was to build a structure out of plastic [...]

What the ……!!!?!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked,
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
Or possibly
I am not the pheasant plucker,

I’m no mug when it comes to a thorough understanding of multiverse theories and I regularly juggle galactic and intergalactic theorems as a means of relaxation.

It’ll soon be December 3rd and as usual the annual Kilt Hoist will be held at Sprouston in sunny Scotland.
Of course the rules are well known – 1 point for each buttock exposed and 5 points for a ‘Bagpipe’ – 8 points against you and you’re out. The Sprouston W.I. will be acting as judges [...]

There was a young man of Cabril
Whose brain was the size of a pill
His eyes they were wonky
