Forget DFS - you know that company who brag about how great their sales are but never both talking about the quality of their sofas – there are new kings in town! Everyone loves a sale, especially me. So as I’m hunting around for some bargains, I came across this rather sweet looking […]
Sigh. Why am I paying >£100 to fund such rubbish on TV. Yes, Planet Earth was great but the quality of the comedy on the BBC is appalling. The writing on The Green Green Grass is dire, as too is the acting. At least David Jason saved some of the poor […]
Fear, pain and suffering. Now in return they get to come to the UK as part of the even bigger and better (or new and improved, either way they are both oxymorons) EU come January 1st. I refer of course, in no particular order, to Vlad Dracula, Michael Howard and The Cheeky Girls. […]
As I’m sure you’ll remember, I had my car broken into twice in the space of two months. The reason was the Sat Nav mount on the dashboard. The week of the second break in the Edinburgh Evening News reported it is the growth crime of 2006. As much as it pains […]
Going shopping two days before Christmas - I must be mad! To be fair it was quite quiet in the nearby Asda, well about as busy as a normal Saturday if you ignore all the rollers (large gold cages) on the shop floor. I was standing at the sandwich chiller, waiting for my […]
I announced a little while before the Christmas Party that I’d be wearing, for the first time ever, my white linen jacket. Lo and behold when the party comes around 9 out of the other 14 members of staff are also wearing the same white linen jacket! It was so embarrassing - ten […]
Every year, Edinburgh tries to out do itself by arranging a bigger Christmas event. This year we have the big wheel; the swingy chairs; the trampoline with guide wires; a huge German market and the ice rink. There are some great shots capturing the beauty of the city here but I’m most proud […]
We’ve just received an email: “Dear Guests, Thank you for booking your Christmas Party at Le Monde. We would like to take this opportunity to lay down a few ground rules. No fancy dress; no party hats; no poppers or indoor sparklers; no laughing and no smiling. Actually if you could keep […]
Edinburgh have introduce new communal umbrella buckets in Princes Street for shoppers to leave their wet brollies in before stepping into shops. I know what you are thinking, they actually look like bins that just have half a dozen broken umbrellas stuffed in them as frustrated shoppers get blown about by the random gales. […]
I’ve mentioned before that shops have started to advertise that they stock Polish brands - nothing wrong with that. Advertising on buses in Polish on websites to help you buy a place is a bit much. This morning I have noticed they are now running adverts for people from parallel universes, the ones […]
I think I’ve found the position in my new office for the perfect pictures. A huge moon is hanging low in the velvet blue sky and I’ve done my best to capture it. Unfortunately we are really facing the wrong way to catch the amazing Edinburgh sunsets but then again I suppose I’m […]
Okay, there are still a few days left until my birthday but I’ve just received a present through the post and I am so grateful with my great friend who got it for me (take a bow Donald). Having heard me rave about a copy of Private Eye I bought for my flight down […]
Yes, this is not new news. Nor is my recent attack at the misleading advertising from Jenners (now House of Fraser) or their obscene APR on their store card. No, this time is was the once marveled window displays at Jenners that has fallen into disrepute. Now I’m as kinky as anyone, […]
