It rarely happens that I see something that everyone else has raved about and yet I don’t like it. Usually I am happily on that bandwagon asking for a shotgun seat at the front or play a bit of banjo at the back as we chase after those who disagree. It does happen occasionally though. […]
So, er, there was meant to be a blog yesterday. I was going to type up about my weekend in the West County, the incredible high tea I had at Bath Bun in Bath, and many many other exciting tales from the Douieb’s travels. But, er, then I had an all you can eat curry […]
Some of you may remember the blog a short while ago where using intuition, my incredible speed, a Godfather DVD case and a whisky glass, that I caught myself a mouse. If you don’t remember it, it’s here: MOUSE WHISPERER Well last night I added to this list of animal catching feats. Me and L […]
