Why am I required to fill in a form, containing lots of lovely marketing information, just to have a look at the gym? From the door I can see the treadmills, bikes and cross trainers, but not the weights area. That’s the bit I’m interested in, yet on Saturday I couldn’t get past the droid [...]

Sitting at work, on a sunning spring Saturday morning, I read a response to a post on the Photo Answers forum that caught my eye. Although it’s an old thread (about three weeks old), I had to reply. There seems to be a lot of stupid, sheep-like fools in the world today. Mary-Lou said:I totally [...]

Moka, a nice little independently run cafe in Cheltenham’s Montpellier area. Serving up a range of tempting cakes, sandwiches, paninis, coffees and teas, you’d be forgiven for thinking Moka’s a decent alternative to bland, packaged and over-priced offerings from megacorps like Starbucks and Costa. It’s the sort of place you feel good about visiting. On [...]

This lot of crooks is currently running a leaflet drop in my area. They’re a bunch of thieving bastards that are merely conning people out of items that would otherwise be given to legitimate causes. The bunch of wankers behind Help and Support are only out to fool people in to giving them gear that [...]
About an hour ago our local air ambulance landed in a park near my house. Being the alert photographer that I am, I grabbed my camera and headed off to see what was going on. It seems that an elderly gentleman had had some sort of accident on a driveway, though I don’t know any [...]
While walking through the pedestrianised shopping centre in Cheltenham today, I and two colleagues were passed by an Integral building maintenance van (KX57WVK). The driver, although in an area with a high concentration of pedestrians, including children, was merrily yacking on his mobile ‘phone while driving. I tapped the side of the van to get [...]
What is it with cyclists in Cheltenham? When the lights at a pelican crossing are red, you stop, just like every other vehicle. Me: That was a red light, mate! Lycra Lout: [Unplugs IPod (or other MP3 player)] Eh? Me: You just ran a red light. Lycra Lout: There was no one on the crossing! [...]
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/7091466.stm You stupid horsey bitch! A sick horse doesn’t warrant driving at 110 miles an hour especially on the A46, putting human life at risk. Horses are just posh steaks, nothing more, nothing less. You should have had a much harsher sentence than you got. You’re just some semi-posh tart who thinks the law doesn’t [...]
I ate in the RFH restaurant this evening and was thoroughly disappointed. Considering I’ve eaten there every week for the last 7 weeks, I was shocked at the quality of meat that was served up with the “Gammon & Coleslaw” option. Gammon with a shiny green surface and browned edges shouldn’t be served to a [...]
Following on from my previous post about these books, Blurb reprinted the books for me, using their new print facility in The Netherlands. While Blurb is to be commended on re-processing my order within an hour of receiving photos of the damaged books,despatched from the new Netherlands’ print facility, the second batch is worse insofar [...]
