Seeking Health and Humanity in the Modern World
I was quietly singing the lyrics to ‘Bring It All Back’ whilst sat at my desk in the office yesterday afternoon, when, half way through the second chorus, one of my colleagues laughed a laugh of disbelief at my preposterous behaviour. Towards the end of the third verse another colleague mentioned that they were worried
A whole bunch of you have contacted me following Monday’s post, demanding the next piece, so look, you greedy gulls, I slogged away getting the next bit written up – here it is. Drink the freakin kool-aid. BUT WAIT! Before you read any further, you absolutely have to watch this. Watch this and witness the
OH. MY. F***ING. GOD. How the hell do I start this piece, when there is so much to write, and manage to do justice to the weekend I’ve just had? By saying “YES”, and getting the fuck on with it. (warning there will be a lot of swear words in this post. I’m in that

Roughly a year ago, a friend of mine, let’s call her Nina (she’s not called Nina), told me now was the time for me to read a book called The Alchemist. So I did. The Alchemist was written by a Brazilian chap called Paulo Coelho, and published in 1988. It has gone on to become
If, somehow, you have managed to get to this point in your life and not seen Hot Shots Part Deux, you should correct that. In the late 80s/early 90s golden age of spoofs, this was my favourite as a young lad. It features Charlie Sheen and his Two and a Half Men co-stars John Cryer
