Welcome to the end of week 13 and my new Lockdown Diaries blog. In a week where the only chance of seeing both of your grandparents at once, is by either staring though their letterbox or screaming at them on the Nemesis ride at Alton Towers, what else has been going on? I decided to …
Rage against the Machine.
As the well-known saying goes “Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one”. This of course is true, unless you were unfortunate enough to be born with the condition ‘Imperforate Anus’, in which case means you are very much ‘arsehole-less’. What with the current climate and the terrible things happening on a daily basis, opinions are …
Underneath the arches.
As we near the end of week 11, I’ve realized that for the first time in my underachieving history I have actually completed one of my New Year’s resolutions by reading more books. Whilst this lockdown may not have enabled me to cross ‘become a professional wrestler. or become the 6th and only straight member …
Life aint no hexagonal shaped picnic.
This week has mainly focused around people making poor choices. From Dominic Cumming flouting lockdown rules and then testing his eyesight by going for a drive, (which is like testing to see how sharp a knife is by jabbing yourself in the face) to the three injured jumping from a cliff in Dorset into the …
Dawn of the disappointing.
Our lockdown is finally over! Well not officially, as there hasn’t been a statement from the Prime Minister, but as all of the countries Gary’s and Lisa’s have flocked to our currently sun-drenched beaches with the kids this week, I can only assume that we’ve nipped that pesky coronavirus in the bud. No longer are …

Keep calm and stay confused.
This week saw the partial reprieve of our government-imposed lockdown, with certain aspects of our strict ruling relaxed.

Survival Series Week 4: Television. Part 1.
Welcome to week 4 of my Survival Series in which I take a look at some of the ways we can muddle through this lockdown, whilst retaining a healthy mind and body. For those of us still at home with no immediate escape on the horizon, the drudge of being mostly confined to the four …

Failure is the only option.
This week’s main discovery was a shocking one. I realised that I was roughly two months of hair growth and a bottle of ‘Just For Men – Sandy Blonde’ away from going full-on Richard Madely, obviously minus the lack of self-awareness and the wife on the brink of a breakdown. If any of you have …
Survival Series. Week 3: Exercise.
Welcome to the third installment of my mid-week musing blog, in which I take a look at what’s out there to nourish our minds and bodies, whilst we’re all locked up like a 1970’s light entertainer. Unlike many of those on the Police’s ‘Operation Yewtree’ list we will hopefully be reintroduced into society sooner rather …
