  • I’m Still Here

    2016 has been a dreadful year for many of us. It seems that everyone has lost an idol: so many stars of the entertainment world have left us with naught but their ghosts on screen and whispered songs on our radios. Many of us have lost someone in real life. Several of my friends have…

  • Last Rant Of The Year

    I know I did my final 2014 post a couple of days ago, but I’m in a bit of a strop so I’m going to make you lot suffer too. What is New Year? A chance to reflect on our successes of the past twelve months? An opportunity to reflect on our mistakes and make…

  • So long 2014

    This is the time of year when I usually do a humorous post about the previous twelve months, but to be honest with you, this year has been shite and I’m pleased to see the back of it. Illness played a big part in the shittiness. I’ve felt well for about….maybe six weeks in total. The…

What are the…

  • Warning: Grumpy Alert

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] I detest this time of year. Not in a “bah humbug” kind of way, but this administrative reboot of the calendar makes me reflect on the past twelve months and forces me to take stock of where I am and what I’ve achieved. And 2011 has sucked like a toothless granny eating…

  • Happy New Year

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] As 2010 ends our attention starts to shift to the year ahead. We look back on all that happened during the previous twelve months and start to formulate our hopes and dreams for the next year before us. Invariably, this ends up in a few tears and some well-intentioned New Year’s Resolutions.…
