I love Tate and Lyle’s inventive new slogans on their Golden Syrup tins for the 125th Anniversary celebrations. I think its great that they’ve stuck with the traditional metal tin and familiar style of branding for as long as I can remember. That way, as the new tins show – the packaging doesn’t [...]

Driving into work this morning I had a “near miss” – almost but not quite an accident but makes you draw in breath and you feel as if you heart has skipped a beat for a moment.
At one of the many roundabouts in MK, I was positioned alongside a long lorry laden with drainage pipes [...]
Rugby in the rain….

Boo to the recent weather downpours. Theres nothing worse than trying to train for rugby in the pouring rain and wind, you get freezing cold, you can’t catch the ball as your hands are so numb and the wet mud is smelly, gritty and not unlike a very unpleasant exfoiliator.
Its a pickle that all [...]

Theres been growing coverage on the rise of ‘txt’ language creeping into our everyday lives, especially in the ‘younger’ generations. Abreviations filling work emails, conversations and everyday communications so much so that the true English language is slowly being diluted. But recently I discovered that communication skills have changed more than I realised [...]
Its your job.

As its been said many times already, England were very poor in last weekends Six Nations game against Scotland, very rubbish indeed. Now I’m a rugby player and fan but by no means a tactical expert or know-it-all when it comes to the finer details, but any ‘Jo public’ could see that the England [...]

So the office discussion today turned (again) to weddings, as we all seem to have a fair few to attend this year. Theres a mix through summer and autumn, multi-cultural, just evening invite, whole day invite, family wedding or a friends. We’ve had long chats over the pros and cons of weddings abroad, [...]

As it was a special occasion me and the other half went out for dinner Friday night. As the ‘Hub’ in Milton Keynes is close by we’ve been steadily trying out all the new restaurants in the area. So, Brasserie Blanc was next on the list.
The restaurant space was refreshingly small and [...]

Last year for chrimbo I decided to get my other half something he could do, an activity, a nice day out to enjoy, perhaps together but the pressie definitely had to be nothing practical, boring or indeed useful. So I’m pleased to say that he was chuffed on christmas morning to open a shiny [...]
