Is it me?

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Gary

We had a Nicktor Night tonight only it wasn’t really a Nicktor Night because Nicktor didn’t stay. This is a shame because he doesn’t get to relax properly seeing as he has to watch what he drinks and then drive … Continue reading →

Long time passing

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Gary

Pete Seeger died today. He was 93. He co-wrote Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, which, coincidentally, has been stuck in my head since hearing it on Saturday morning. His last public performance was last September! What an extraordinary man. … Continue reading →

Blood and water

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Gary

Ah, Nicktor Night. They come round so soon. Hopefully we’ll not miss them too much when the extension work starts. At the Albion, we decided to mix things up a bit because Nicktor had had ham, egg and chips for … Continue reading →

More pollution

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Gary

I heard today that lifespans in Beijing are being shortened by about 5.5 years. Apparently, the reason for this is the pollution. Beijing has five million cars. But is it because of the cars that Beijing is so polluted? Some … Continue reading →

Two legs good, eight legs bad

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Gary

Tonight, we watched the worst movie we have ever seen on a Nicktor Night. It was called Payback Season…It should have been called Absolute Crap. This piece of rubbish, disguised as a movie, had absolutely nothing good about it. A … Continue reading →

Sherbert lemons

Posted on December 10, 2013 by Gary

When we eat at the Albion (almost every Tuesday night) we generally sit at the same table. There’s no real reason why we chose the table over any of the others, but, being horrendous creatures of habit, Nicktor and I … Continue reading →

GSE!

Posted on December 3, 2013 by Gary

Nicktor loves a bit of football violence. Not participating, I hasten to add. But he loves it in films. I think it reminds him of his youth. It just makes me glad I didn’t grow up in the UK. Because … Continue reading →

This little piggy went ballistic

Posted on November 19, 2013 by Gary

It was Sidney’s birthday today. Eleven years old. She might get to 5,000 miles on the clock, soon…or so Nicktor reckons. Speaking of whom, he came over tonight for the usual movie and dinner. Now that we regularly go to … Continue reading →

Almost a big nothing

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Gary

Alas, I have no Doha update today. For reasons I am not yet aware of, Mirinda wasn’t able to talk tonight. I have, however, seen a photograph of Ben (on Facebook) on a camel, so their trip to the desert … Continue reading →

Spitting

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Gary

Tonight, just as Nicktor and I left the Albion after a lovely dinner and couple of pints, the heavens opened up and showered us in very heavy rain. There was thunder, lightning and torrential, very unEnglish rain. We managed to … Continue reading →
