Standing in the queue at the supermarket the other day, I noticed – couldn’t help but notice, even I couldn’t help but notice this – that the woman in front of me was carrying a baby on her front and the baby was smiling and giggling.
Ah, how sweet (no sarcasm: it was actually quite sweet, sorry, HE was sweet). Every now and again the baby would look over his mother’s shoulder at me and make a funny face – Read the rest of this entry »
While most children LOVED going to the farm to see all the pigs and piglets and cows and goats, I myself was absolutely terrified. Of horses, mainly (but also of cows too, because they always had mean looking faces). And if you’re asking why, that is so, pondering the majestic quality of these ancient beautiful horse creatures, then let me ask You Why not? They are big, scary, and terrify me even as an adult. So it’s not really surprising Read the rest of this entry »
Schools: places of extreme importance, where would society be without them? But, as vital a thing as education is, schools are also right up there on the list of places which waste vast amounts of energy and need to become more energy efficient and FAST! Want to read more about how schools everywhere are set to redeem themselves by turning themselves around? Look no further than the following link: http://www.eniginliaison.com/2010/08/04/schools-to-manage-energy-efficiency/
It’s not hard to see why schools are such a Read the rest of this entry »
Business blogs are notoriously boring and business-ey, aren’t they? They lull you in with fancy graphics and then, when they have you firmly in their grasp, they bore you to tears with hideous spread-sheets and mind-numbing statistics. Grr!
Not Enigin. Who are Enigin I hear you cry? Well, Enigin are a business lot yes, and no doubt they know a thing or two about statistics as well – they wouldn’t be very good at their job if they didn’t, Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve seen many procedures and treatments for the human body, be it botox injections or chemical peels, and I take little notice of them, they’re not for me. However I was reading an article on Digg that was really interesting. I know that people end up losing their teeth in many ways, particularly a fight in high school could leave you spitting a tooth or two, but losing your teeth could be Read the rest of this entry »
Films are great. Films are amazing. But they can get you thinking a bit too much sometimes. I recently watched Labrynth again. That really messed with my head–
For some reason, the first time I watched Labrynth, when I was a child and moisturizer for men was as mythical as adults who understood humour, I didn’t think that a baby being thrown about amongst goblins was odd. I didn’t even think David Bowie looked that strange, really; I could Read the rest of this entry »
People from other more tropical countries like to point out all the bad things about English weather, like the fact that it’s cold more than it’s hot, it rarely ever gets above room temperature outside, and that it rains almost every single day up north. Personally I think they are missing out. They are missing out on the drama of the great outdoors, something that
I recently took my Brazilian friend out to show him Read the rest of this entry »
As soon as I saw Charlie and the chocolate factory (the original) I knew I wanted to see my name in lights. There was just something about the golden ticket–the way Charlie looked at it–I wanted to be that boy! I wanted my very own most excellent golden ticket and I wanted grandparents that both slept in the same bed and were always around to tell riveting stories! And so I got in to chocolate eating in a big way, Read the rest of this entry »
I am a kind man, and someone who is as equal as any other man (except possibly Bill Gates type people, in which case I am not the only one who isn’t equal). But there is something about me which is not quite equal, and something which has ruined many a date. I think you know what I am talking about: I am talking about my hands. They are smaller than average, slightly feminine, and something that I would change Read the rest of this entry »
Following a brief hiatus, my neighbour (remember her, shes the one in the story about Locum vet jobs) has resumed her policy of making repeated and vociferous complaints against us. Her chief gripe appears to be that we have the gall to lead a life that does not involve making absolutely no noise at any time. Our co-landlord is attempting to resolve the dispute with all the tenacity of a drunk trying to change a lightbulb. Time to move Read the rest of this entry »
