Silly, rude people abound everywhere, but especially where I am travelling. On yesterday’s flight to Belfast one such traveller made good his silliness at full volume. His problem was that he and his wife were allocated seats...

Fiacre Banks @judyev I’m just not accustomed to being asked impertinent questions by gruff men in hi viz vests before breakfast.

Fiacre Banks @porwest If I’d been sufficiently quick-witted I’d have assured him that on this the 21st anniversary of my vasectomy, my pole is still in good working order.

I’ve used elevators this past few days more frequently than I normally do, having been travelling. I usually prefer to take the stairs (don’t like elevators) but it’s not the best trying to get suitcases up and down stairs so the...

Yes. Today is Sunday and that means a Sunday roast. Today we had a real treat as The Mister went to the farm shop near to where he was working and got a huge leg of lamb. Lamb is very expensive here at any time but even more so...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne Restaurants, hotels etc don’t seem to realise the importance of good quality toilet paper and would provide yesterday’s newspaper if they could get away with it. It’s a false economy, because the customer needs to use more of the thin stuff than...
