2012 in review


The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 77,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

A Last Minute Christmas Gift


All Clear

Finally got the results of the last scan from the man doing the Chief Consultant impressions up at the Hospital and it all seems to be ok at last. He has taken off the rat poison (Warfarin) and put me onto the aspirin – tho keeping me on statins and heart tablets. So hopefully my blood will start thickening up , I’ll cease bleeding like a Romanov and I can at last get bleedin’ warm this winter.

Says if I do have another stroke, it will be unrelated to me previous ones. I have no idea if that is a good or a bad thing.

 He had no answer about my obese state, however. Fortunately, I have a good track record of losing weight over the last ten days of December.

So, if you were thinking of giving a loved one a shed load of Warfarin for Christmas, I know where you can get some at a very competitive rate.

End of the World December 21st (Indoors if wet)


Either The Police are lying bastards, or Andrew Mitchell a (former) top Tory MP is a man not to be believed. Is there no-one we can have faith in anymore ?? It has certainly shaken me to the marrow.

As if to prove a point, and according to the loonies amongst us, -(and when I say loonies, I’m chiefly talking about the population of the American mid-west)  the world ends tomorrow, Friday 21st December 2012. Which is a pity, cos I’d just finished by Christmas wrapping (as opposed to christmas rapping, which I gave up a long time ago). If you can’t trust the Police, the Government and an ancient Mayan prophecy, who or what the hell can you believe in ???

Anyway, in the unlikely event that the world does survive….

How to Satisfy a Bengal Lancer


I like to think I’ve been to enough curry houses to know my way around a menu. However, this one proves there’s stuff I’ve missed out on.

Not sure I could eat any more than 10% of one, thanks for offering.

It also proves that it’s not just The Sharp Single which suffers from typos.
