With all the talk going on about drug cheats etc these games will have us watching and thinking I bet he/she is on something ?

My son said to me yesterday : " Dad,what's wrong with the world these days, its going crazy and nuts ? So to answer him with a musical reply I said: " Yes it is it's on a Highway To Hell. What other record title do you reckon sums up the world right now ?

There's been some weird names for bands and many leave you thinking what does that mean ? Take: Bat For Lashes or Tenacious D or Bowling For Soup. I guess the stranger the name the more you want to find out about them ? Any others ?

On the radio today they were talking about favourite smells. They were nearly all about how smells like music can recall a memory etc.When I was a kid they were always laying tarmac on roads by me,so have always liked the smell of freshly laid tarmac.Any more like that ?

The weathers crap,our national team is as well,we are worried over the Brexit vote,and the threat of terrorism is a daily reality. But on a brighter note there has to be one or two reasons to be cheerful ? For me its hearing my son is working well and enjoying his new flat after a time when he...

I do jobs for customers on my window cleaning round like gardening, cleaning gutters,and the odd painting job.But I always am unsure about how much I should charge, and end up going too low or a bit too high. Recently I cleaned a gutter out and the chap said bloody hell that's not much and gave...
