the anti-sex; big comfy knickers

If you’re the type of person who finds Eurotrash offensive then you probably won’t get this at all. More

public toilets phobia

Why is it that every time I take my laptop out of the house, it appears to be completely covered in dust? Yet, I never seem to notice this whilst working at home. Pubs, coaches, trains and cafes; public places where I embarrass myself by opening up a very fluffy looking laptop.

I’m sitting on a coach from Bristol to London; a trip I take often when visiting the folks. In the past, I would have taken the train but it’s far too expensive now and it takes another hour across London to actually reach my accommodation.

Over the years that I have taken the coach, it has become considerably less like a form of torture. When I first travelled by coach, the seats were narrow, leg room was limited, the toilets were often blocked or would not flush and the I’d always end up squashed next to a very large person.  More

my photoshoot

Hello chaps! How are we all today? I’ve actually had a rubbish day but I’m over it and already got my plan B into action. C’est la vie! :)

Earlier this week, my photo’s from my last photoshoot finally came out. The photographer is a lovely man called Andrew Simspon who is also a fellow Web Guru. :) You can check out his fabulous photo’s on his flickr account. More

So ya’ confused about soya?

I am! There’s research and claims from all over the place about whether soya is actually good for you. Some say it causes cancer, hormone disruptions, infertility and heart palpitations. Others say it’s good for the heart for controlling cholesterol. Most vegans eat soya because it’s a great source of protein.

I’ve been trying to be vegan for the past couple of years. At times I’ve had to let things slide such as a little bit of prawn in my dumpling or some butter in my side vegetables. It’s almost impossible to have a normal social life when the majority of your friends are carnivores. I’m not planning on dumping my friends for vegan ones nor do I like the idea of choosing friends by what they eat. My reasons for trying to be vegan were not principally for animal cruelty but simply, for health reasons. More

the joys of arguing in French

I’ve been trying to teach myself French these past few weeks – just for fun! I also love the sound of the French accent.

I thought to share my favourite phrases in French when arguing because they tickle me somewhat. :)

Learning any new language through arguing is always intriguing and I think very entertaining!

looking for trouble?

Despite your funny English accent when speaking in French, they can laugh all they want but surprise them by giving as good as you get such as responding to Tu me cherches?  Are you looking for trouble?

T’as un problème ? Got a problem? / C’est quoi, ton problème ?  What exactly is your problem?

Easy to remember – bit boring though.

travel guides & dumb tourists

Last week I was dressed in a long cotton dress and a silk red scarf from Nepal. I looked like I’d just come out of Tibet and dangered on resembling a female monk. However, I felt very gracious and the weather outside reminded me of monsoon season in Asia. It’s been a while since I’ve witnessed short bursts of hard rain with short bursts of glorious sunshine. It doesn’t bother me as I went out for a run in it. It was fun and funny peculiar to get wet and then to only dry off again when the sun came out during the run.

I had spent the day wandering around the Southbank, purely because it’s a beautiful part of London and there’s usually something going on. During the evenings, the wonderful sunsets along the Thames are amazing and a great way to finish a walk before heading home. The markets don’t change much here but the people do a little. I spent some time wandering around Foyles and playing croquet with some friendly Americans. Evidently they didn’t know how to play as they were holding the stick like a golf club and swinging it as we say, willy nilly! I sneered at them for a good ten minutes before they laughed at my incredibly out-of-range shots. It must have looked very odd when you had a monk-like oriental playing croquet with an american family wearing bright white trainers, badly fitted loose clothing, bum bags, utility waistcoats and silly hats on!

my intolerance for bullsh&t

I’m usually quite a laid-back kind of person but sometimes, some people can really get on my tits! I get inner rage and it’s not a flame that would flicker during a boy band video from the early 90′s, it’s the kind that comes out of an angry dragon of which you’ve been kicking the hell out of. I do very well to keep it all under wraps and when I feel like I need to erupt, I usually vent out on my guitar, on my blog or to some poor person on messenger for about 30 minutes (thanks guys, really appreciate it! ;o) ).
