Friday evening was Bonfire Night. Now I like fireworks, sparklers and celebrating the burning of a Catholic as much as the next man, but there’s a limit…
Saturday morning. 3am. I was sound asleep after a long, difficult week at work. I was then awoken from my slumber by a tremendous bang. I was so startled that I nearly fell out my bed.
I was then forced to lie in my bed for almost as an hour, while listening to what can only be described as ‘The Sounds of Afghanistan’. Ross Kemp was no doubt hiding in the garden, filming a documentary for Sky One.
I can only assume some of my lovely neighbours decided to hold a display of illegal fireworks in the early hours of the morning. Probably after coming back come from a night club, pissed.
Regular readers of my blog will be interested to know that the neighbour responsible for holding the fireworks display was not the same one who has previously disturbed me with their thunderous snoring. How do I know this? Well, in between explosions from a nearby garden, I could hear grunts and snorts from another noisy neighbour. How their sleep remained undisturbed during the Bombs of Baghdad, is a mystery to me.

- What Have They Done To My Flat?
My former flat, where I lived between 2007 and 2013, looks to be for sale!
I thought that I would let you all know, in case I have a stalker, who wishes to live in my former home and has a spare £180k lying around.

We turned it off an on again.

We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected. Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life. The power cut...

I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
