This lunchtime, I tried to make myself a cheese and tomato toastie. The night before, I had carefully prepared myself a cold sandwich, ready for toasting. My work colleague, Joffre, had kindly given me a toasting bag. I was a little scared about putting my sandwich into this bag, before putting the bag into the department toaster, but asked myself what was the worst that could happen. I came to the conclusion that the worse-case scenario would see the building burning now. However, seeing as it is being demolished later in the year, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
I stuffed my overfilled sandwich into the bag, before jamming the bag into the toaster. After a cycle on medium heat, the bag popped up. It didn’t look cooked. I put it in again. Smoke started to filter up from the bag. I got a tad concerned, but by that point it had finished the second cycle. I decided it had been cooked.
It was nice. The cheese had melted and the tomato was hot. The bread was a little burnt in places, but when did a bit of charcoal ever hurt anyone. After I had eaten the sandwich, I was told by a colleague it was a good thing I hadn’t set the fire alarms off as it would trigger an automatic call to the fire brigade and a fine to my work. A wise lesson learnt! I never saw stuff like that on Fireman Sam.
“No fuss,no mess”. It also claims that each bag can be used 50 times.
Lots of fuss, lots of mess, and after just one use, destined for the bin

Today was my first day off since dropping my hours and going part time.
This day off is known, within the department, as a "non-working day". Smart arses may argue that I have five of these a week already.

- I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
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.
