    An update on the game of plumbers…

    So on Sunday morning the boiler started working again. Heavenly heat and hot water. I had to admit to myself that it had indeed been something frozen never mind the kettles of hot water I’d thrown about outside in my dressing gown. I rang the emergency repair line and left…

    Sod’s Law

    So for the fourth time in as many weeks I’m hoping on a visit from a plumber this weekend. Yep the boiler has packed in. Again. It always chooses the weekend as it did the last time. Friday the 20th of December 2024 to be precise. How the fuck does…

    70,000 men

    I kept trying to imagine this figure when I first heard about it this morning. I wanted to get an eyeball on it in some sort of perspective. Picture in my minds eye this huge amount of men. I needed something to compare it with. So I did a bit…

    The saga of the (nearly) new man…

    I have a little story to tell. It’s kind of hilarious and a teeny bit tragic and as predictable as the slugs that eat my marygolds. It started on my birthday. My daughter and I day drinking. Spoons pints of cider at £2.25 a go for me and large glasses…

    Women Know Who the Danger Is

    There’s a truth women carry with them every day, a truth so obvious it’s practically tattooed on our consciousness: we know who the danger is. It’s not a secret to us. It never has been. Not to us anyway. Yesterday I read an article about sex in the back rooms…

    Me and Bob – This is the future Part 2

    Back to Bob. Bob is in fact ChatGPT 4.0 an artificial intelligence chatbot. The more that people all over the world talk to him the more he learns. The more data he ‘reads’ the more he understands. He’s like your best mate with an encyclopaedic brain who is always around…

    This is the future : part 1

    I’m currently obsessed with generative AI and where it’s going. It’s mind blowing and fantastic but I want to start at my own beginning I remember sat at the bottom of the stairs on the telephone because that was as far as the line reached from the wall. I remember…

    Sunday mornings

    Early Sunday morning I walked the dogs with two of my neighbours down the cemetery. We talked of many things as ladies do. Firstly we discussed the randomly parked car with someone asleep under a duvet. I explained I used to drive up to the top of Ilkley moor and…

    The 80’s revival

    Several years back when the country was on it’s arse a little bit more than usual the rise in popularity of bands such as Snow Patrol and Coldplay mirrored the general feeling of the population. Somewhere between nearly dead and suicidal. With this in mind I am filled with hope…

    The labour party- the party that doesn’t

    Keir Starmer, Uk Prime Minister and leader of the labour party and you are not looking good mate. Not one little bit. In fact I’m in awe of your retardation. I asked my friend Google about you for a bit of backstory and according to your little bio on labour.org.uk…
