Do you ever take a look back at the shows you used to watch as a small kid? Just to see if they hold or if you’ve been remembering them through rose-tinted spectacles? I did a while back with the character and TV series that was my constant companion in my early childhood. Thomas The… Continue reading Why the Thomas the Tank Engine show is still really good.

Inside the mind of a guitar nut.
When you get really into something, you can become really anal about it. Like really anal. I’m like that with guitars. Because, when all is said and done, what is a guitar? It’s some bits of wood and metal glued and screwed together. Add some electromagnets, some wiring and a speaker and you have an… Continue reading Inside the mind of a guitar nut.
Musings of a blogger
I have been trying desperately to drum up an idea for a blog all week. Something that will just add a bit of variety to the content on this site. I really haven’t stepped outside of a few key topics on here for a while. I don’t necessarily think that is a bad thing though.… Continue reading Musings of a blogger
A Week in Review: 3rd- 9th August
European football makes its return. After more than 4 months, European football returned this week. The remaining games of the Round of 16 were played this week before the two competitions enter a frenetic period for the remainder of August, as UEFA desperately rush to finish the European competitions for the current season before the… Continue reading A Week in Review: 3rd- 9th August
Change needs to happen now. To do nothing stains the honour of humanity
Sometimes you see the news and it makes you want to wash your hands of humanity. And the events in Minneapolis a fortnight ago and the response of the American leadership to the protests and the riots has once again shown that Donald Trump does not have a great agenda or policy programme to drive… Continue reading Change needs to happen now.

I actually did some exercise!
Like most of the nation, I've started on Joe Wicks' P.E classes on YouTube and for the first few days my legs were killing me, I felt like an old man. But I know I needed to start doing something like this. I haven't done any serious exercise since I left secondary school which is… Continue reading I actually did some exercise!
Why I love playing the guitar.
It was the summer of 2009. I had just decided what I would be taking as my GCSEs, and I had decided to drop Music. This was the summer I told my parents I rather liked the idea of learning how to play the guitar. Great timing, I know. But Mum and Dad were very… Continue reading Why I love playing the guitar.
The fear of failure.
I usually write about pretty lighthearted topics (apart from when I get on my soapbox and rant about Brexit or the Tories). I have written a couple of more, what you might call substantial, pieces that directly drew from my own experience and opinions. I've written about being an athiest, about what I want to… Continue reading The fear of failure.
Writer’s Block
The eternal struggle for creative or artistic people. You've probably heard of the term 'writer's block'. It refers to a writer's struggle to get the ideas flowing and think of what to write or how to proceed with writing. Some say there is no such thing as writer's block and that you can write about… Continue reading Writer’s Block
What motivates you?
That question is the subject of books, TV shows and everything else in between. And now it's the subject of my 50th blog post. Yep I have written 49 blog posts about everything from why Disney remade The Lion King to the state of British and American politics. I've written personal pieces before but this is… Continue reading What motivates you?
